I was happy to meet J.R from Privateer Press at Origins 2016. We talked about the newest edition of Warmachine and Hordes. We focused on some of the key changes and the metagame. I’m really impressed with the new starters/battlegroups, each reflects the importance of playing the warmachines and beasts.

I am pretty stoked to try out these new rules. The whole idea of the game shifting to plat warmachines and beasts is pretty good.

Sep 232014

As titanic battles are fought across western Immoren, the fires of a war more ancient and terrible than any of those conducted by mortals are being stoked to world-consuming fury. The leaders of the United Kriels fight to ensure their survival by calling on both old and new allies, including the recently awakened mountain kings. Aloof from the struggles of the other factions, Xerxis leads an army in a risky gambit amid the larger plans of Supreme Archdomina Makeda, positioning the skorne to subjugate Ios. Meanwhile, events already set in motion by Krueger the Stormlord threaten to scar the face of Caen itself as he works toward his ultimate goal: the destruction of the dragon Everblight. Ancient beings advance toward an apocalyptic end game with no regard for the innocents caught in their path, and only time will tell if great heroes will find a way to forestall this doom.

HORDES: Exigence brings you the next thrilling chapter of the HORDES saga. Hold nothing back in your fight for survival with:

-New warcasters, including new epic versions.

-Three new character lesser warlocks who bring even more furious support to your army.

-New units and solos to expand HORDES armies with new strategic possibilities.

-New narrative fiction picking up directly after the harrowing events of HORDES: Gargantuans.

Goreshade the Bastard & Deathwalker – Warcaster & Character Solo

$24.99

The abomination called Goreshade the Bastard was once known by a different name. Only decades ago, Ghyrrshyld ruled one of the most powerful houses of Ios.

He immersed himself in monstrous experiments and dark rituals in search of Ios’ salvation, but his actions horrified his people and plunged his nation into civil war. Now an outcast, Goreshade serves Cryx in an alliance of convenience to further his research into the dark arts.

Goreshade the Bastard & Deathwalker come in a blister (PIP 34088). A player may field one Goreshade the Bastard & Deathwalker in a Cryx army.
