The Hordes Swell with Privateer Press
February 9, 2012 by brennon
So with the news of War Room and the Iron Kingdom Role Playing Game on the way, how about getting into Hordes in a big way? Well you can now get your hands on new Hordes Battlegroups from Privateer Press!
These Battlegroups provide a great staging ground to get your force started for Hordes. More importantly these are all in plastic! But if your looking to expand your Skorne war band, check out these new models.
That's a fair amount of big hulking warrior ready to start shedding blood for Skorne.
What do you make of these new models and Battlegroups?
I haven’t even finished painting my old skorne battlegroup… These new ones are looking really great. The Cyclops look just so massive, much better than the old ones. And they are plastic… Metal is such a pain in the ass to assemble, when they are not broken/bended/melted (hopefully PP have a great customer service, they replaced parts very quickly).
my prayers have been answered, plastic hordes battlegroups, does this mean we will see a 2 player battle box like warmachine? I hope so
Me, too! Hoping they’ll swing a Legion/Circle battlegroup.
as long as it doesnt have trolls Im happy- circle and legion would be good or circle vs skorne…..just no trolls pp (i dont need 4 impalers)
I like that they changed every model in the boxes to look a bit more detailed. Also to have them in plastic is a great thing for us Hordes players.
I just have one question. Why is the Legion of Everblights beast just the same old models, just recast in plastic? I would have thought this would have been the best time to make a change in look. The shredders look cartoony. Seems like Everblight never gets any love 🙁
But the everblight always were the best-looking of the bunch, they didn’t really need change.
I like’em, who knows, maybe enough to get a box again?
I prefer the metal trollbloods, the axer is awesome in metal and a bit sad in these new sets. Having said that its good to see plastic options- the skorne stuff looks like its survived ok in the move
Absolutely love Privateer Press, but I do wish new battleboxes would at least feature different warlocks (warcasters for Warmachine). Reason being, all of the beasties/warmachines are useful and repeats/copies aren’t any trouble to add to one’s collection, but the same warlock makes for a redundancy which stops me from buying the battlebox. Anyone else feel the same?
Now that you mention it, it is a bit redundant. But the good thing is its all new sculpts for them. So if you havent got the new variant you can get it now.
I wasn’t sure about the Privateer miniatures before – well, the Trollbloods ones anyway – but the new ones are gorgeous. Despite having what feels like twelve thousand billion miniatures already I will be getting that battlebox and a dire troll. I shall call him Percy.
Please do videos on each of the plastic boxes as a tactical review BOW.
And when you get the boxes do an unboxing video for each.
Also does anyone know where I can buy these plastic boxes in the UK? Or is it a bit early to buy them here yet.
End of April I think. Something else to empty your pockets at Salute 🙂
I hope plastic alt warlocks will be released but I guess not if they copy the warmachine model- who knows the sudden rush of new stuff means maybe pp are pushing hard for all resin/plastic with the odd metal option rather than the other way round.
Summer could get pricey indeed
Sooooo yummy…
Now I want to paint me some trolls…
