On the Horizon
The convention season in 2011 was a busy one for Privateer Press. Besides being filled with the usual activity—staffing the booth, running events, and meeting tons of enthusiastic players—this year saw several big announcements about future Privateer Press products. Lock & Load and Gen Con both generated some incredibly exciting news about what’s headed your way in 2012. Well, the time has come to pull back the curtain a bit and showcase some of the products headed your way in the near future.
No Quarter #39 features some tantalizing nuggets of information about WARMACHINE, HORDES, Bodgers, the new Iron Kingdoms RPG, and of course, LEVEL 7. I sat down with director of business development Will Shick and creative director Ed Bourelle and fired off some hard-hitting questions about the new products coming down the pipe in the next year. Be sure to check out the On the Horizon interview for some exciting sneak peeks at the new epic models for WARMACHINE and HORDES plus new art from the IK RPG and LEVEL 7.
Of course, this being the November issue, there’s also a ton of Gen Con coverage. First, you get all the tournament results from Hardcore and Masters, featuring interviews with the winners and a close look at their winning lists. Next up is the Formula P3 Grandmaster Painting competition, and we devote over ten pages to the piles of gorgeous models entered by our very talented hobby community.
If, for some reason, Gen Con and more news about the IK RPG and LEVEL 7 aren’t enough to get you excited, not to worry! No Quarter #39 still has all the classic No Quarter goodness you’d expect. Interested in new Theme Forces? We’ve got you covered with Forces of Distinction VI, which introduces new Theme Forces for Khador and Skorne. How about some more information on everyone’s favorite constructs, the wolds? Guts & Gears gives you a ton of details on these powerful warbeasts, with fiction, tactics, and an awesome painting tutorial on lava wolds. (Yeah, that’s right—I said lava wolds.)
If all that isn’t enough, how about a Power Progression article written by a tournament pro with scads of Hardcore and Masters experience? Tournament veteran Jason Watt managed to compress his vast store of Skorne knowledge into a ten-page article packed with clever tricks and devastating combos sure to make you the envy of dominars everywhere.
Finally, we’re happy to present an original sort story written by Privateer Press lead writer Doug Seacat. This story, titled “Immortal Remains,” focuses on the newest Legion of Everblight warlock Kallus, Wrath of Everblight. Doug’s tale picks up where the HORDES: Domination narrative left off and offers some intriguing information about Everblight’s newest athanc-bearer.
There you have it: awesome previews, exciting tournament coverage, and the great articles you expect from No Quarter Magazine. What are you waiting for? Turn the page.
