In this episode, we sit down with Kyle from Arcane Precision, https://more-than-dice.com/arcane-precision, the Warmachine focused podcast dedicated to rebuilding and strengthening the community around the game we love. Kyle shares his journey from early tabletop wargaming through Mark II, III, and into the evolving landscape of Mark IV, and how Arcane Precision grew out of a desire to reconnect players and foster a healthier, more welcoming scene.

We dig into accessible entry points like Command Starters, the sweet spot of 30–50 point games, and why Warmachine remains one of the most tactically rewarding systems out there. The conversation also covers rebuilding local metas, welcoming returning players, and balancing competitive play with casual fun.

Kyle also breaks down Food Machine, a charity-driven Warmachine event that turns friendly “cheating” into real-world impact, raising money for local food banks while keeping the game lighthearted and inclusive. From community and rules bloat to painted armies, content creation goals, and stompy robots, this episode is all about why Warmachine still matters. Tell us how your community is bringing it back and how your doing it.

What happens when two sharp teen players enter a table full of veterans armed with Sorscha tech, Cygnar gunlines, and a stack of house lore? You get a fast, funny, and surprisingly deep look at how new competitors learn, adapt, and fall in love with Warmachine by one painted model and hard lesson at a time.

We kick off with honest hobby talk: painting sprints that could churn out a hundred points in days, the pride of showing up with finished models, and the real-world hurdles of priming in cold weather. From there, we dive into list building for a 30-point, beginner-friendly event and why a warjack, unit, and solo requirement nudges better fundamentals, and how veterans can set the tone by avoiding oppressive combos. The teens explain what hooks them: flexible lists, a user-friendly app, and a community that teaches rather than gatekeeps.

Favorite casters and feats take center stage, like Deneghra’s control tricks, Dekathus’s soul-fueled focus spikes, and Mortenebra Perfected’s resurrection debates all while we run the numbers on Deathjack durability, charge math, and when to boost. The bigger lesson: play peers to build confidence, play veterans to stress-test, then iterate fast. Losses become data, and the next game is always the best game.

If you care about Warmachine growth, youth mentorship, or just tighter games, this conversation is a blueprint: keep reps frequent, feedback specific, and the table welcoming. Hit play, then tell us your scariest caster, your go-to beginner tip, and whether painted pride or raw reps come first for you. Subscribe, share with your local meta, and leave a review to help more players find their way to the table.
