By David “DC” CarlEngines of Destruction is the second expansion for WARMACHINE High Command: Faith & Fortune. Engines of Destruction gives Retribution of Scyrah, Convergence of Cyriss, Highborn Covenant, and Four Star Syndicate players additional options for their reinforcement decks, including the expensive-but-powerful Battle Engine cards. With the quantity of detachment cards and warcaster color combinations now available, WARMACHINE High Command: Faith & Fortune factions have a great deal of flexibility in play style and deck themes. Engines of Destruction gives each faction one new warcaster card along with five copies each of four new army cards players can use to customize their detachments.

These colored pips represent the maximum number of times a card can appear in a particular detachment.

retribution of scyrahEngines of Destruction gives Retribution of Scyrah players a lot to think about. Several new options have parallels with previous cards but have tradeoffs in terms of power, cost, resources,

or victory points. The Banshee is worth special notice as the first High Command card capable of reducing an enemy warcaster or warlock’s Power, and the Arcantrik Force Generator can hold off multiple enemies singlehandedly to protect a location from capture.

convergence of cyrissEminent Configurator Orion is the perfect warcaster to destroy powerful cards that rely on abilities rather than base Power for their offense (like Cygnar’s Centurions or Khador’s

Behemoths). The Convergence also gains several additional cards with effective Power that’s not what it appears to be. The Transfinite Emergence Projector is one such card: it has the highest base Power in all of High Command but prefers to fight enemies just one or two at a time.

highborn covenantCaptain Damiano, the new Highborn Covenant warcaster, is bound to be a popular choice in Highborn reinforcement decks due to his boost to offense at a location coupled with his

universal boost to purchasing power. Highborn’s Hammerfall Siege Crawler is on the lower end of the battle engine spectrum for raw stats, but its ability is not to be underestimated. Deploying a free Dwarf card after battle has taken place will ensure locations don’t fall into the wrong hands.

four star syndicateEngines of Destruction adds a Cephalyx warcaster and a Cephalyx army card to the Four Star arsenal, both of which are low in raw Power stats but provide control effects that are truly dangerous

in the right hands. The remaining Four Star cards are less about tricks and more about raw destruction. With a few pirates in your reserves, the Royal Weight Cannon can blow away just about anything an opponent puts in its path.
