Privateer Press, Inc. Announces Next Two Warmachine Expansions

Disgruntled Goat writes:

Looks like someone has a pretty huge bias against WM showing.

First, you need ONE rulebook to play WM. Prime or Prime Remix. Since any models you buy some with their data cards, you don't even need to own the expansion that model appeared in. You get all the rules when you buy the model.

Second, it's actually cheaper than WFB due to needing FAR less models to play cometitively. You can play 500 points with 10-20 models or less. Sometimes far less.

Third, comparison to CCG release schedule. Ummm…so? You're saying GW's schedule (regular releases of army books, cycled with revised editions of the core games), ISN'T CCG-like?

WFB/GW have made entire metal rank and file units, you know, the ones you paid a lot of money for, simply VANISH in updated army books. How's THAT for your "hope the figures I have now don't become obsolete with the newest additions" poke at WM.

And lastly, your comment about unpainted models just smacks of someone desperate to bash a game. WFB players are more likely to have painted armies? Nope. Painting habits of players having ANYTHING to do with the game itself? Zero.

Privateer Press announces:

Seattle, Washington - Privateer Press, Inc. announces the next two expansions for the award-winning tabletop miniatures game, Warmachine.

Following the wild popularity and consistently strong sales of the Mercenary Privateer models detailed in the now out-of-print No Quarter Magazine issue 12, Privateer Press announces the first installment of a new expansion format - titled Forces of Warmachine - which provides army expansion options under a single theme.

Forces of Warmachine: Pirates of the Broken Coast is scheduled to release in early December and comprises 72 pages of new fiction, new model stats, and several outstanding full-color art pieces by artist Andrea Uderzo. In addition to compiling the previously released Mercenary Privateer models, this book introduces new mercenary warcasters, warjacks, units, and solos for expanding armies of every faction and rules for building pirate-themed armies. Models featured in this book release in December, January, and February. More details and previews will appear in No Quarter issue 15, releasing this November.

Shortly following the release of Forces of Warmachine: Pirates of the Broken Coast, Privateer Press will release the fifth full installment of the current Warmachine storyline that begun in Warmachine: Prime Remix and continued in the award-winning works Escalation, Apotheosis, and Superiority.

Warmachine: Legends brings the saga of Warmachine to an electrifying climax and provides exciting new options in the form of new warcasters, warjacks, units, solos, and epic warcasters. The book provides all new options for every faction and focuses on the characters, warjacks, and units that have attained legendary status in the world of Warmachine. Warmachine: Legends will release at Gen Con Indy 2008, and previews will begin in No Quarter Magazine #16, available in January.
