Privateer Press’ Hordes - Gaming with the Mrs: Part 1.5
Earlier this week I got a few more of my trades from bartertown. “Who run bartertown?”… couldn’t help it…

I have only begun to read through the rules but it seems like an interesting ruleset with units actually having formations which make a difference to gameplay (as to what extent, I do not know yet, but I like the potential). I received the soft cover version of the rules and the art is really cool inside:

Also, when picking up a can of primer, the local game store threw in a copy of this:
I have been a subscriber of White Dwarf for I don’t know how long and every year I plan on not getting it anymore, but fortunately for Games-Workshop they have lately been putting in nice bonus figures with a subscription that have been good for trading/etc, otherwise I would have canceled a while ago.
Meanwhile, it seems that No Quarter seems like a decent magazine. The problem with White Dwarf is that they have pretty much shred the majority of quality articles like the special rules for new variant army lists, quality short story fiction, FAQs, etc and have pretty much just littered it with ads of what new gear they want you to buy. That is not to say that No Quarter is the best. I am still a pretty lousy judge at the quality of the publication, but I do notice that they publish quarterly and probably pack all the content that WD creates in 3 issues into 1 and without the magazine being like 40% ads (did I mention I hate the fact that GW’s LotR game typically takes up to 20-40% of the space in WD too…..)
Anyway, enough ranting about what gaming rag is better than the other. I figure I should give a little bit of progress made. I was able to get 4 shredders and part of the warlock built:

I will say I was impressed with the small amount of flash and mold lines I found on these figures. I do need to give them a little bath before I prime them to make sure it sticks well. I didn’t put the bow on Lylyth because I wanted to pin it along with the Carnivean heavy warbeast. I just got a little time to glue those few guys together. One thing I did too was a size comparison for the GW stuff I have. Hordes figures seem bigger. I like that ;-). More area to paint:
One last thing. For giggles I figured I would give you a few shots of my workspace. Why? I don’t know. Just look if you are interested.
