Hordes Skorne New Releases

Privateer Press has just released two items for Hordes. These flesh out the Skorne army.

The first new release is the Skorne Immortals Box Set. The second is the Skorne Immortals Bister.

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.

Hordes Skorne Immortals box setSkorne Immortals Box Set – $36.99

Those skorne warriors preserved from oblivion by ancestral guardians sometimes receive bodies carved from stone and hardened clay, take up weapons heavier than any mortal could swing, and go forth to fight again as Immortals. They may die a hundred deaths only to have a new body crafted each time and rise again to stand alongside the living and wage war eternal.

The Immortals come in a unit box of six (PIP 74027), and players may add two additional blisters (PIP 74028) to create a unit of up to ten models. A player may field up to two units of Immortals for each warlock in his army.

Black Gobbo 107 Available

The new Black Gobbo issue 107 is now available. It has a plethora of greenskin goodness for the new Space Orks. Plus, it has a nice article on Harad for LotR. The e-zine is usually a blast and this issue follows through. Check it out at Black Gobbo E-zine 107.

Unfortunately I’m usually less than enthused with the depth of the e-zine. What they do is often good but they don’t provide much beyond the surface. Take the Harad Background article in the new issue. It is some shiny pics and a couple paragraphs of background. This is the sort of thing that used to be on the GW site as regular content. Now it is “special” and deserving of VIP treatment in their e-zine. The background is good and fun to read but I don’t think it qualifies as e-zine material.

On another front there’s a technical point I take issue with. The Space Ork reference sheet is prominently displayed at the top right of the e-zine. Clicking on the image, or the link, takes us not to the pdf reference sheet nor a Space Ork page. It instead takes us to the general entry page for all 40k Quick Reference Sheets. I realize that the other sheets are helpful but if I click on a Space Ork reference sheet link (image or link) I expect to go directly to a Space Ork reference sheet or a page dedicated to the Space Ork reference sheet.

When I link people to articles on the blog I don’t link them to the main page and tell them to search or click a link for the article. I give them the URL directly to the article so they can dig in and enjoy. GW should use this as an example for them to emulate.

The Von Carsteins are coming! The Von Carsteins are coming!

Back on my birthday I was excited by pics of the new Blood Knight models for the new version of Vampire Counts in Warhammer Fantasy.  Today I’m ecstatic to share photos of my favorite vampires in the entire Warhammer world.  They’re the family we love the most…the Von Carsteins!

Hope you enjoy these pics as much as I have and use them as inspiration for next month when the new Vampire Counts are released.

Babylon 5 Drakh Mothership New Release

Mongoose Publishing has just released the Drakh Mothership for its Babylon 5: A Call to Arms miniatures game. The game is a blast and the new model looks incredible. It is the perfect addition to a Drakh fleet. It retails for $49.95.

From the publisher:

Generally recognised as the largest ship in space since the disappearance of the Shadow and Vorlon planet-killing craft, the Drakh mothership is capable of being used as a frontline battleship, advanced carrier or a forward base of operations in hostile space. Able to withstand incredible amounts of damage and with the most advanced gravitic energy grid array found on any Drakh vessel, only the most powerful weapons will have an appreciable effect on the mothership.
