New Warmachine Expansions Announced

Privateer Press, Inc. announces the next two expansions for the award-winning tabletop miniatures game, Warmachine.

Following the wild popularity and consistently strong sales of the Mercenary Privateer models detailed in the now out of print No Quarter Magazine issue 12, Privateer Press announces the first installment of a new expansion format - titled Forces of Warmachine - which provides army expansion options under a single theme.

Forces of Warmachine: Pirates of the Broken Coast is scheduled to release in early December and comprises 72 pages of new fiction, new model stats, and several outstanding full-color art pieces by artist Andrea Uderzo. In addition to compiling the previously released Mercenary Privateer models, this book introduces new mercenary warcasters, warjacks, units, and solos for expanding armies of every faction and rules for building pirate-themed armies. Models featured in this book release in December, January, and February. More details and previews of will appear in No Quarter issue 15, releasing this November.

Shortly following the release of Forces of Warmachine: Pirates of the Broken Coast, Privateer Press will release the fifth full installment of the current Warmachine storyline that begun in Warmachine: Prime Remix and continued in the award-winning works Escalation, Apotheosis, and Superiority.

Warmachine: Legends brings the saga of Warmachine to an electrifying climax and provides exciting new options in the form of new warcasters, warjacks, units, solos, and epic warcasters. The book provides all new options for every faction and focuses on the characters, warjacks, and units that have attained legendary status in the world of Warmachine. Warmachine: Legends will release at Gen Con Indy 2008, and previews will begin in No Quarter Magazine #16, available in January.

Miniature Painting Night - Tonight at 6pm

This is just a quick reminder that tonight is the first monthly Miniature Painting Night that we'll be holding at the store. The official start time is 6pm but you can come in earlier if you like.

Bring your paints, brushes, miniatures and your questions. We'll be there to help those who need it or to just inspire each other if you aren't looking for help.

Hey, if you have a lamp that you like to work with, bring that too. Lighting isn't universally good in that back gaming area so any additional light sources might be helpful.

I'm going to have the new Foundation Paint line on hand for everybody to try. My most recent experiments with them have been very positive. I'm actually thinking of writing up a formal review once I've had more experience with them.

See you tonight!

Miniature Painting Night is Back!

After a more than year-long hiatus, Miniature Painting Night is Back!

I've been telling myself since I got back that I really wanted to do this but putting off setting a date for some reason. Well, you can thank Andy Easton for getting me to make up my mind and schedule it.

The next Miniature Painting Night will be on Monday, May 14 starting at 6:00pm. Feel free to come in early and pull up some table space if you like.

Why come? Because sometimes you need a good excuse to paint. Because painting in a group can be a lot of fun. Because Andy and I will be there to help out.

Andy is a pretty amazing modeler. He does conversions all the time and can help you learn the proper way to pin a model, use putty, and turn you model into something different.

I've been painting since AD&D was still in the early infancy of its first edition.
I managed to turn my interest in miniature painting into a very short career. I even won a couple of Golden Demon awards back in the day. You need help with painting? I might be able to help.

It's looking like this is going to be a monthly event (I can't commit any more time than that) so look forward to spending one night in the middle of each month hanging out at the store and painting some minis!
