There's already plenty of information out there to playing a Journeyman League, so to me it feels right to try and innovate when using a new format.

Every single beginner I know started with a battle box (and I met a lot of them over the years). That's what they have at the start and they build from that, often very slowly (both buying and painting). Why tell them "let's not use what you've bought, leave it and buy/paint other things" ? It is discouraging. And putting a single battle box option in the list shouldn't be a problem, I guess ?

By the way, this seems like a good place to ask if it's been considered to ban Archons flat out? I'm considering starting a league with some new players and it seems like Archons can really skew those low-point games, especially themes that can take 2, such as Flame in the Darkness, or Llaelese Resistance.

Sorry :/ Is this PP releasing new Brawlmachine boxes, replacing old battlegroups in the near future ? No need to answer

Sorry :/ Is this related to the rumor that all battlebox casters are getting something in the Dynamic Update, and something bigger next year?

I'd be surprised if this is a direction we decide to go. Bringing archons at this point level is actually surprisingly hard outside of minions, much less two of them.

Considering that BM is supposed to be a beginner-friendly format, it's a shame none of these lists are built around the Khador Battlegroup Box Get your battlebox, a unit of Kayazi and an Underboss (or a unit of Man o War – it´s up to you, both are good with the caster, but are part of different themes) and a Kodiak. Then build your lists from there. Mayba a unit of widowmakers, too? Or some supporting solo? Really, it´s pretty easy.

And it's a newbie that may be looking for list-advice articles like this, not me.
Just tak a look at this guy. Do you get an impression that he thinks "it's pretty easy" ?

Skorne's list is the same. Not a single model from the Battlebox is listed, not even the Gladiator.

Hopefully I can address concerns re: the battleboxes sometime soon in the meantime.... Four months ago, we posted a beta document with one scenario and some base rules for a new format we were testing called "Brawlmachine". The time since then has been a blur, as the Warmachine Community has embraced our little experiment with open arms. We are proud to present the official launch of Brawlmachine 1.0 today, with scenarios now locked into Wartable.online and an official rules document. Thanks for all of your incredible support. www.loswarmachine.com/brawlmachine/2020/10/31/brawlmachine-10

Thanks! This was exactly what the game needed!
EDIT:
The Sea Dog Pirate Riflemen are not on the list of legal multiple Weapon Attachments. Is it an omission or did they deserve being limited to one per army ?

I blindly went off the list that Bret compiled for me, we missed those and also Soulless Escorts. I'll edit the pdf this evening.
