Wolves, Sailors & Bruisers Come To Privateer’s Riot Quest
October 14, 2019 by brennon
Privateer Press has released three new hero options for you to consider when picking your Riot Quest crew. We start with my favourite from the bunch, Wolf With No Name.
For a fistful of crowns, The Wolf with No Name will join your crew. He’s a beast of few words, but for a few crowns more, he’ll happily take on whatever your rivals throw at him—good, bad, or ugly!
Cue the western music and unleash this fella on the tabletop. I love the slinking look, taking that classic Clint Eastwood style design and mixing it up to fit into the world of Riot Quest. I think even if I didn't play Riot Quest I'd be tempted to pick him up, a nice option for those wanting to do something in the Weird Wild West.
Next up we're heading to the Bayou with a toothy option in the form of Captain Crawtooth.
Captain Crawtooth is my friend. He could be your friend, too, if only you would understand that Gatormen have feelings, too. Captain Crawtooth: He has feelings, too! (More like hunger pangs and a taste for human flesh!)
He certainly looks like a properly mighty Gatorman. He has all the muscle to swing that hook around with great ease and I don't doubt he'll be yanking foes towards him across the board with it so they can come closer to his snapping jaws.
Last up we have someone who looks more akin to other characters from the Riot Quest world with Orsus The Chained.
The most infamous warcaster to ravage the Iron Kingdoms, Khador’s Orsus Zoktavir lost his mind when Lola, his beloved battle axe, was destroyed in battle. Unable to lead, Orsus was stripped of his station and for his remaining days was sentenced to serve as one of the Empire’s notorious doom reavers—penitent criminals chained to the arcane weapons that drive them into a berserker rage in battle. With his nation in shambles, Orsus now offers his formidable combat skills to fortune hunters while secretly on a quest to recover his long-lost Lola.
It's nice to see that they have taken on of the characters from the traditional Iron Kingdoms and moved him into the mix alongside some of the more quirky elements available to you in Riot Quest.
It will be fun to see just how he works in the game as that axe has reaped quite a few souls in its time!
What do you make of the three new releases for Riot Quest?

Crawtooth and the Wolf look great.
Lol love the cartoony figures
Orsus might make a good alternative Grokagamok for KoW (or, at least until Mantic re-sculpts him).
I could see using ‘Wolf with No Name’ in an RPG.
Very nice!
I am seriously trying to stay focused on the WarmaHordes aspect and not get too much into Riot Quest, but these releases are making it harder and harder to commit. The Wolf looks absolutely great, especially for a fan of the old Dollars movies like me, and Captain Crawtooth will look great alongside a crew of slavering Cryxian pirates. Butcher4 also looks good, though it is kind of jarring to see that one of Khador’s infamous warcasters has finally snapped and become nothing more than a cruise missile with a fell-axe. I”m interested to see what the future holds for… Read more »
Riot Qoest is a fun little game, easy to learn but with a surprising level of tactics. Can’t wait to see what I can do with these
