Sometimes inspiration comes from surprising places. While I was planning this issue, the holiday-themed Wurmwood, Christmas Tree of Fate pin from Privateer Pins line caught a co-worker’s eye. He decided to convert a tabletop model based on that pin, and I loved it. As ideas started flowing, it inspired a Modeling & Painting tutorial, a Battle Report, and a WARMACHINE/HORDES scenario. Thoughts of winter then spurred the idea for paint color schemes based on the seasons, and even a legendary tale of Madrak’s battle with the Winter Witch— complete with accompanying Theme Force. There’s even an Undercity scenario to save Giving Day.
The themes of winter and the holiday season inspired a good portion of the magazine, but there’s much more content in this issue I’m very excited about. How about a collected chronicle of dragon activity on Caen written by Doug Seacat? Or an in-depth look at the creation of the meat thresher in Guts & Gears, with the requisite tactics tips and painting guide? A Gavyn Kyle Files on the enigmatic Doomshaper? This issue also has the thrilling conclusion of Miles Holmes’ Cold Steel serial. And on the Iron Kingdoms RPG front, we have advice on incorporating gargantuans like the woldwrath into your adventures, another installment of Legion of Everblight rules content, and a Scoundrels & Sell-Swords featuring a character from the Skull Island eXpeditions novella Blood & Iron.
Last issue, I asked you to send me your letters with questions and comments about No Quarter, Privateer Press, and our games. I am grateful you obliged. Here are a couple of letters from the mailbag. Keep them coming! Email your letters to letters@noquartermagazine.com, tweet @privateerpress using the hashtag #NQLetters, or send us a message on the No Quarter Facebook page.
