There has been a degree of anticipation, speculation, and suspense since we first announced that some Mk III Legacy armies would make their way into the MKIV Prime Arena. To spare our players the consternation and suspense of waiting, we have decided to reveal Faction armies that will be grandfathered into Prime.

While each of the larger Factions will get two Prime armies, there are some smaller, more recent armies that will be added to Prime virtually in their entirety. These include the Convergence, Crucible Guard, Grymkin, and Infernals.

The larger Faction armies are based on the primary themes running through each Faction but are not based on the Mk III theme forces. These Factions include Circle, Cryx, Cygnar, Khador, Legion, Protectorate, Retribution, Skorne, and Trollbloods. These larger Factions also share small cadres of models and units that are shared between their armies.

A number of Mercenary armies were also included in the Prime Arena. These include Minion armies, which have been classified as Mercs in MKIV.

The complete list of Legacy armies making their way into the Prime Arena includes:

• Blackclad Army (Circle)
• Tharn Army (Circle) 
• Convergence Army
• Crucible Guard Army
• Bane Army (Cryx)
• Blackfleet Army (Cryx)
• Storm Knight Army (Cygnar)
• Trencher Army (Cygnar)
• Grymkin Army
• Infernals Army
• Man-O-War Army (Khador)
• Winter Guard Army (Khador)
• Blighted Nyss Army (Legion)
• Blighted Ogrun Army (Legion)
• Blindwater Army (Mercenary)
• Cephalyx Army (Mercenary)
• Farrow Army (Mercenary)
• Privateer Army (Mercenary)                      
• Rhulic Army (Mercenary)
• Steelhead Army (Mercenary)
• Exemplar Army (Protectorate)
• Flameguard Army (Protectorate)
• Dawnguard Army (Retribution)
• Mage Hunter Army (Retribution)
• Immortals Army (Skorne)
• Praetorian Army (Skorne)
• Northkin Army (Trollbloods)
• United Kriels Army (Trollbloods)

All of the armies above are currently going through our development and playtesting process, and we will likely need all the time we to finalize them for the launch of the WARMACHINE Beta app in October. If anything feels solid enough to preview before that, we’ll make the information available, but for now, it’s best to expect their arrival in October.
