Wondering if the new No Quarter is worth purchasing? The table of contents below tells you what issue #15 covers. There’s great terrain articles in the form of Terrain: Staging the Battle plus a worthy look at the future of Warmachine by Matt Wilson.

Over 90 pages of Privateer Press goodness all for just $5.99 plus a great special offer for a limited edition Eiryss. You need issues 14, 15, and 16 for the Eiryss model. Decide for yourself but issue #15 is the worst No Quarter I’ve read. I waited 5 months for it because a customer at my FLGS buys 6 copies of every issue. Due to that the store didn’t have one for me, all I ask for is one issue of this and one of WD, and the store couldn’t get a back issue. I had to wait for Privateer Press to have it on their website where I paid my $5.99 plus shipping, how it killed me to pay shipping, and when it arrived it was crap. To make sure it wasn’t just me I conferred with friends who regularly play Hordes and Warmachine. They confirmed that issue #15 is craptastic. Therefore, CWF is giving it the Avoid At All Costs award.
