And it is Circle vs Legion....

http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gallery/starter-products/hordes-two-player-battlegroup-box

Shame it is the 2 factions that I own *sadface* but it looks pretty good.

Awesome news! I was hoping to start Circle! Would have preferred as the other force but Circle are pretty cool too.

thanks for the link!

I expected Legion/Trolls as the already had the medium based infantry in plastic.

Circle is a bit out of the left field though, but plastic Skinwalkers are never a bad thing.

Damn it - it had to be legion, like the one Hordes faction I have no interest in.

I agree with the Yay for Skinwalker plastics though.

Hey look at that Privateer makes the skinwalkers plastic and pretty much lowers the price on them. Maybe GW should take some lessons.

I guess these will replace the skinwalkers box too, right?

Possibly new Warpborn units, too...

When does this come out, or is it already out?

You mean like GK Terminators, Chaos Knights, River Trolls, Killa Kanz, Black Orcs, etc etc.

Not a good example of GW evilness this is.

Now "Finecast" on the other hand...

Checked the prices of some of those lately champ?

The GK Terminator 5 box has always been $50.00, even when they were in metal, not sure on the rest, I've never priced them. It won't matter anyway, they'll all get "adjusted" to the proper premium price for the finest miniatures on the planet eventually.

I'm actually quite excited about this. It includes the 2 Hordes Factions I am most interested in, and allows me an excuse to rebuild my once large Legion collection. Kudos to PP on this. Any idea on a release date?

Right! Wanna split it, then? I've already got the Hordes full-sized rulebook, so...

bumping this question.

The Winter Argus doesn't come out 'till the end of July. My guess is we'll see this either September or early October.

Dam they would pick the 2 factions I'm interested in will be a good christmas present those!

Ooooh, dang. On the plus side, I was thinking of going for the Circle, Legion or Skorne sale units... now it looks like my decision has been made for me! Hehe!

Ooh good thing I didnt get any of their Hordes Summer Sale stuff. This will be good

Though does anyone think it would be kinda cool if they made 2nd starters for Warmahordes with different factions? Or will we have to wait for a mark 3 for different stuff?

Very nice! I was gonna say I'm interested in both these armies, but I eventually would like to have all the armies. Circle is pretty low on my list, though, since it's the most common Hordes army locally. Still, this is very cool.

I wish this had come out 6 months ago. Or at least before I bought the box of three skinwalkers... Unless multiple units of skinwalkers are good.

It has everything to do with Finecast.

Hoping for September, would make a nice bday present, and I may be able to actually paint the circle half in time for WMW.

If this is released in September it's going to be horribly expensive month for me .. 2 copies of boarderlands 2, Level 7 escape, and now this. I can't wait!

Lol. I've just bought my things to start Legion, then decide to get a look at PP's website and SUPRISE ! Almost felt like poked by the hand of god. But no, seriously, even thought the models are good, they aren't those I would use. I prefer pThagrosh to Lylyth and Warmongers + Swordsmens to Warspears.

Yes, and all of them are still a lot cheaper than they were when they were metal.

As you should know, champ.

I am sorry but this is simply not true.

Maybe you are confused with the power armoured GK box, in which case it might be about accurate.

The metal Terminators were 50,- Euros, as opposed to 35,- for the plastics now.

You're going to tell me I'm confused when you can't even read a currency label correctly?

Hay guys! Let's turn this into another GW v PP thread! Those are always so awesome and totally important and utlra-relevant.

You may want to work on the "subtle" bit there.

Back on the real topic, I might have to pick this one up sooner or later, while I'm not that interested in Hordes, the price to model count makes for excellent mini fodder for the upcoming IP RPG release.

I guess I'll pick this up sometime this year.

Am I missing something or is this an insane deal? Like more than half off what it would cost to buy this stuff at retail?

Orboros was the faction I was going to do when I made the PP jump. This is a no brainer, can't wait for it to come out!

You're not missing anything, you're exactly correct. It's also true of the Warmachine version, too.
