Gargantuan Glimpse
As WARMACHINE and HORDES continue to grow and new models—and types of models—are added to both games, the writers and editors here at Privateer Press run into an interesting dilemma. To avoid confusion, we must be careful how we use certain words, especially those describing something very large. When I say “behemoth,” am I talking about something really big or am I talking about a hulking Khadoran warjack with armor-piercing fists? The same concern applies to leviathan, colossal, mammoth, titan, and now the newest big kid on the block, gargantuan.
As with the other big models before them, however, I willingly and gladly surrender the word “gargantuan” to the aweinspiring warbeasts of the same name. I have no doubt they will make better use of the word than I could ever hope to. Speaking of big things, this issue of No Quarter gives the gargantuans their due with an exclusive preview of the Mountain King and the Woldwrath. Yep, we’re giving you the stats, the art, the whole shebang on these two mighty, super-sized warbeasts.
In addition to the gargantuan glimpse in this issue, we’re also giving you an in-depth look at the exciting new board game LEVEL 7 [ESCAPE], where Director of Business Will Shick walks you through a new scenario and a recent game session. IK RPG fans will find plenty to sink their teeth into this issues as well. We’re bringing back an iconic IK RPG title in Monsternomicon & Beyond and exploring the monstrous creatures of western Immoren with stats, background, and full-color art.
I’ll wrap up by saying No Quarter #43 contains colossal . . . I mean behemoth . . . sorry, gargantuan— What I mean to say is that this issue is packed with content so big it’s virtually Brobdingnagian!
