Warmachine
Warmachine is a tabletop steampunkwargame produced by Privateer Press.
The game is played with white metal and plastic miniatures manufactured by Privateer Press representing military characters from the Iron Kingdoms setting. Battles are fought between warcasters from rival nations, the large steam-powered warjacks that the warcasters control, and troops consisting of humans and fantasy races.
Warmachine has been the recipient of the 2003 Origins Awards for Best Fantasy Miniatures Rules and Best Fantasy Miniatures Series. In 2005 Warmachine won Game of the Year at Origins and Gamers Choice for Best Miniatures.
A compatible companion game involving the savage factions is named Hordes.
Overview
Warmachine's most distinctive feature is the inclusion of warcasters and warjacks (the war machines from which the game derives its name). Warjacks, or 'jacks for short, are techno-magical constructs designed for waging war. They are, in general, powered by a coal-burning steam engine and guided by an arcane supercomputer-like 'brain' called a cortex. Heavily armored and often carrying over-sized weaponry, 'jacks fill a role similar to traditional military armor such as tanks and artillery. They are several times more durable and powerful than normal troops, but are far more costly.

Dust To Dust
by: WarmachineThe reaper's at your door,
It's the end, there's no more,
The light makes you blind,
Deep in your heart you'll find,
The dead is what lays ahead,
In the future that you dread,
Now comes the time,
It's the end of the line,
You, who drove all my sorrows away,
You, who's rid my life of all this pain,
You, who's left me now and gone away,
You, who's happy in heaven I pray.
Since you've been gone,
The days seem so long,
The things that you said,
Keep running through my head,
I yearn for your touch,
This pain hurts so much,
Death would feel so right,
To fill the void you filled in my life,
You, who drove all my sorrows away,
You, who's rid my life of all this pain,
You, who's left me now and gone away,
