Warmachine does not get the oxygen 40K gets, which is exactly why I keep a jack cadre primed. MKIV trimmed a lot of the old exception-tax. You can teach it in an evening. You can play it in an evening. That is rare.
Local tables are small but loyal. If you have a steamjack on a shelf, this is the season to blow the dust off. The Hot Dust will keep posting lists and after-action notes because a wargaming hub that only speaks one game is just a faction blog in a trench coat.
Dark Forge Miniatures has been printing a few jack-adjacent proxies for terrain and objective markers. More on that in the shop links. Support the people making the tools you actually use.
