Privateer Press has just released two new models for Warmachine. These flesh out the mercenary line including the new Pirates army.

The first new release is Lady Aiyana & Master Holt. The second is the Sea Dog Gun Crew. Both are great additions to your pirate themed army.

You can purchase them at your friendly local gaming store or direct from Privateer Press. Be sure to have the PIP number for each item you wish to order if purchasing directly from Privateer Press.

If your FLGS doesn’t stock Warmachine be sure to have them special order these models for you. You can also ask them what you can do to help them stock Warmachine.

Warmachine Lady Aiyana & Master HoltLady Aiyana & Master Holt - $15.99

Consummate professionals, the Iosan spell-caster Lady Aiyana and her gunslinging bodyguard Master Holt add an air of mystery to the Talion. All that is known about them is that she deftly manipulates powerful magic unknown beyond her native land and that he wields his pistols with skill and cool dispassion that unnerves even hardened soldiers.

Lady Aiyana and Master Holt come in a blister (PIP 41055) and will not work for Cryx.

Warmachine Pirates Sea Dog Deck Gun CrewSea Dog Gun Crew - $16.99

No less devastating on land than at sea, Deck Gun Crews add a deadly punch to Privateer armies. Whether obliterating tightly packed formations or singling lone targets, Deck Guns provide Sea Dogs with the firepower to breach heavy defenses or sweep aside waves of enemies in the field.

The Sea Dog Deck Gun Crew comes in a blister (PIP 41056). A player may field two Deck Gun Crews for each warcaster in his army. The Sea Dog Deck Gun Crew will work for any faction.

Dec 10

There’s snow on the ground, online stores are giving deadlines for Christmas deliveries, and at least one fight between disgruntled shoppers made headlines in the mall. Must be time for the CWF Holiday Gift Guide.

Last year the Holiday Gift Guide was presaged by coverage in the CWF Game Cast podcast. Of course that isn’t possible this year with the podcast on hiatus. Instead we hope to make this guide better than before.

Shopping for gamers isn’t as easy as one expects but is easier than you think. We broke our guide down into three price categories. Under $15 (or the Friends ideas), Under $50 (family and loved ones) and $100 and up (group gifts or treat yourself).

Under $15

  1. Sitting Ducks Gallery - $15.00. This is our #1 overall pick for this gift guide. Please see our review of Sitting Ducks Gallery for more info. FLGS, Amazon.com ($7.49).
  2. CCG Boosters - Price varies but usually $3.99-$4.99. Magic, Yu-gi-Oh, and World of Warcraft are most popular. Lorywn is a great new Magic set, there’s tons of new foils for YGO, and new WoW set called March of the Legion. FLGS, Online Stores.
  3. Warmachine Warcasters - Usually costing $6.99-$9.99. Nice looking figs and a requirement for every Warmachine army. Great combo gift with the latest No Quarter. FLGS, Online Stores.
  4. Chessex 16mm D6 - $4.50 for set of 12. This showed up at #1 in last year’s guide. FLGS, Online Stores.
  5. Zap A Gap Glue - $3.99-$12.99. All models need glue for assembly. This is a perfect stocking stuffer. FLGS, Online Stores.

Under $50

  1. Citadel Modular Gaming Hill - $25. Nice looking prefab, modular, terrain to help you get jump started with playing a game. FLGS, Games Workshop Online Store.
  2. Regiment/Squad Box - $9.99-$49.99 (depending on game system and item). FLGS, Online Stores, Games Workshop Online, Mongoose Publishing, Flames of War
  3. Video/Computer Games - Prices Vary. In particular Guitar Hero 3 for PS2 or Xbox 360. Online Stores, Best Buy, Target, Circuit City, EB Games.
  4. Warhammer 40k Apocalypse Rulebook - $49.99. This must have book transforms 40k into a game of epic proportions with thousands of models on the table including Baneblades and Titans. FLGS, Games Workshop Online Store.
  5. Manga/Anime - $7.99-$9.99/$12.99-$19.99. Gamers love anime and manga. Anyone who plays Tau knows this to be true. Pick up some Bleach, Black Cat, and Yakitate!! Japan. Or, get some old school Eva or Bebop DVDs. Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com.

$100 and Up

  1. Citadel Tool Kit - $120. GW created all news tools. Much improved and better than almost anything else. Comes in a nice case with clippers, files, hobby knife, pin vice, sculpting tool, vice, and razor saw. FLGS, Games Workshop Online.
  2. Paint Set (Vallejo, GW) - Prices vary. FLGS, Games Workshop Online.
  3. Nintendo Wii/Game Consoles - Prices vary. Best Buy, Toys R Us, Amazon, etc.
  4. Professional Paint Job - Price varies. Have your army professionally painted. Check our Blue Table Painting for an example.
  5. iPod - Prices vary. Great way to listen to music while you game or quick reference your army list that you saved as a txt. Online Stores, Apple.
