Warjacks (usually shortened to just 'jacks, even in-universe) are the eponymous "warmachines" of Warmachine and the Iron Kingdoms setting. They are, essentially, multi-ton, steam-powered robots powered by magical brains called cortexes.
Technically speaking, however, they are only a small subset of the multi-ton, steam-powered robots, which are usually called laborjacks. Warjacks are specialized laborjacks built specifically for war, although some factions, notably the Protectorate of Menoth and some of the Mercenaries, have more than a few basic laborjacks pressed into service.
Warjacks are not particularly bright, unfortunately, so they need to be lead into battle by specialized battle mages called Warcasters. Over time, the 'jack and the warcaster will bond, molding the 'jack to the warcaster's personality and making it easier to control (or not, in the case of a warcaster like the Karchev).
