Their line of "steam high fantasy" figures and games continues to expand at an aggressive pace. At GenCon, they pre-released their Hordes range - which is fully compatible with their Warmachine wargaming line and their Iron Kingdoms RPG setting. While Warmachine focuses on the mechano-magical warjacks and their warlock controllers, Hordes focuses on the warbeasts and warlords. Due out in April, the full range includes a rulebook and alternative figure boosters.
Four Hordes factions were released: Trollbloods, Legion of Everblight, Circle Orboros and Skorne. A variable number of figures come in each boxed set. Each has one warlock figure. The Trollbloods box contains three trolls (naturally enough), while there are a Carnivia and four Shredders in the Legion box. A Warp Wolf and two Argus figures come in the Circle Orboros set, with the Skorne set containing a Titan and two Cyclops.
Matt Wilson, the head of Privateer, says: "We plan to support these figures with separate tournaments from our Warmachine tourneys. However, there will be some crossover tournaments with an 'anything goes' format."
