The Monstrous Frightmare & More Come To Privateer’s Hordes
September 14, 2017 by brennon
Privateer Press showed off some new models on their webstore which are making their way into the world of Hordes and the Grymkin. First off we have this terrifying model, the Frightmare!
Yep, that is a horse which has mouths reaching out of its braying maw to chomp on you. Here's some of the background on this beast...
"Born of the deepest fears of The Child, the frightmare is a mélange of horrors embodying all that is wrong in the world. Staggering onto the battlefield, it disgorges foul bile to punish the enemies of the grymkin, so that even a victory against them is tainted with foulness."
That is honestly quite foul and quite right too I'd imagine. The sculptors and artists at Privateer Press have been having a lot of fun with the weird and wonderful models they can design for the Grymkin!
Wanderlust
Looking decidedly more normal we have The Wanderer too who acts as another of the Warlocks for the Grymkin.
"Traveling the unknown parts of Caen, the Wanderer once wished only to go where he pleased—until his confinement within the depths of Urcaen drove him mad. Now freed from that hell, he roams the world seeking those marked by sin to deliver upon them his own twisted and tortuous justice."
I love that they've worked his story into his mechanics, leaving the mark wherever he travels against those who have sinned. It makes for a really narrative story on the tabletop. You could use this chap as a Warlock or Sorcerer in other games too I reckon, especially with that awesome hood and cloak.
What do you make of these new models?
"Yep, that is a horse which has mouths reaching out of its braying maw to chomp on you..."
That’s terrifying. I applaud anyone who shelves that thing with confidence.
The Wanderer is very cool.
As for the vomiting possessed daemon horse, he looks like something from a Japanese horror manga, so kudos. Picked the wrong link to click on while eating my breakfast.
Those do look really good. I really like look of those Crymkin.
Is… is that the personal hell of the old lady who swallowed a fly?!?
Or is it an old horse who swallowed a lady?
That Frightmare is just wrong in the best possible way … awesome.
WTF that’s my old English teacher. AAAAaaaaaa
The frightmare is warped genius … and so good.
Wanderer is brilliant, not so enamoured with his tokens when I get to it I will model my own.
