The Northkin Storm Down From The Mountains For Hordes
September 8, 2017 by brennon
Once again in a splash of spoilery previews (Party Foul) for the world of Privateer Press' Hordes, we have some new renders and figures from the upcoming Northkin release, bolstering the Trollbloods.
Much like with the previews that popped up for the Trenchers earlier today we're getting a look at some fantastic new models which go down the route of a very themed force for you to use on the tabletop. Would could say no to this mix of Nordic and Gaelic traditions on Trolls?
As well as a new set of models which will come together as a unit like you can see here we're also seeing some new character models too which will act as Solos and Warlocks for the force going forward.
It's nice to see more of these fringe factions being brought to the front by Privateer Press for Hordes and indeed Warmachine as it gives gamers a lot more choice when it comes to building their forces.
Something about the Trollbloods has always appealed to me. It might be the mix of themes and aesthetics but I think it's the actual characters themselves who don't appear to take themselves too seriously like some of the other factions in the world.
All of the models have a sort of savage charm about them and it might be the same thing that drives people to like characters like Drax and Groot in Guardians Of The Galaxy for example.
I guess they are all well meaning but terrifying individuals!
What do you think?
"I think it's the actual characters themselves who don't appear to take themselves too seriously like some of the other factions in the world..."
Very nice.
fantastic figures.
Has the PR for the new Skirmish game completely dried up? I know they ran some demos at Lock and Load but I haven’t heard anything since…isn’t coming out in a month?
Out in October, there are a few articles on the site. Plus D6 generation podcast has that as it’s featured item, not listened yet but on my to do list.
In an earlier post I mentioned that I ordered the box kit for the Trencher’s theme force. If they do one for Northkin , I’ll be dropping the pants of financial responsibility for them too ………*sigh
I feel the belt of fiscal restraint maybe test beyond what is reasonable, apparently the big themes will get a short release box.
If this is post Xmas I may be joining you in the financial pants down club.
It IS very comfortable club ergonomically if not economically 😉
Damn these are stunning, plus they will get bears – really, really, good bears.
What .. these bears ???? 🙂

Yep and the ones pulling the beer.
Yes let us not forget the beer cart
Stunning minis. I’ve been eyeing the trollbloods for months now and these guys may make me drop my wallet too!
While I don’t play Hordes, I’m finding these models hard to resist. It is like Warhammer meets Warcraft. Very nice.
I’m not a fan of many of the Warhmahordes lines, though I tend to like the Trollbloods. That first character though is stunning. Love him.
I’m really thinking of the trollbloods for my first crew in Ghost Archipelago.
