No Quarter #47 kicks off with the first model previews from the next WARMACHINE expansion, giving you an intriguing sneak peek at things to come. Also in this issue, Guts & Gears explores one of the premier mercenary companies in the Iron Kingdoms, the Steelheads; Gavyn Kyle delivers a dossier on Mercenary warcaster Drake MacBain; and Foundry, Forge & Crucible offers up new mechanika firearms for the Iron Kingdoms Full Metal Fantasy Roleplaying Game.
Converge and conquer
To say there are exciting things on the horizon for WARMACHINE would be a bit of an understatement. There are flat-out stupendous, mind-bogglingly awesome things on the way for WARMACHINE, and we’re going to give you a glimpse of some of them in this issue of No Quarter.
Those of you who attended the Privateer Press’ keynote presentation at TempleCon in February or tuned in to the live streaming broadcast are certainly aware that a new WARMACHINE faction was revealed: the Convergence of Cyriss. In “The Convergence Begins,” No Quarter #47 offers you an advance look at the concept art for some of the warcasters, vectors (Convergence warjacks), and troops for the new faction as well as the design team’s aesthetic goals for Convergence.
Also in this issue, WARMACHINE players will get the first previews of models from the next WARMACHINE expansion book. We’re going to give you the full details on five of the new models, including the Khador Greylord Outriders, Cygnar Tempest Blazers, and the Retribution Mage Hunter Infiltrators.
Although WARMACHINE certainly takes center stage in this issue, there’s still great content for the Iron Kingdoms Full Metal Fantasy Roleplaying Game. In Foundry, Forge & Crucible you’ll find a trove of new mechanika firearms, each with a compelling history that can easily serve as the basis for an adventure or an entire campaign. On top of that, the Monsternomicon & Beyond takes three classic HORDES warbeasts—the argus, gorax, and troll—and re-imagines them for the RPG.
No Quarter #47 is only the tip of the iceberg. In the issues to come we’ lbl e revealing more about the Convergence of Cyriss (including full model previews) and the next WARMACHINE expansion. So stay tuned; it’s going to be quite a ride from here on out .
