The new Nyss look miles better than the old (might expand my tiny amount of Legion), I love the Glacier King and Doomy3 (also seriously considering trolls arm) and Ace looks a lot better than I was expecting. Unfortunately the Ferox are just the old ones repackaged.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Plastic or resin/metal cavalry would be a great thing, especially if they fixed the somewhat silly looking Ferox. Bad enough that they don't do much in game without looking so bad.

The full unit cav repacks ARE resin/metal hybrids.

Wow, seriously? Resin mounts and metal men on top? That's pretty sweet! Did they redo the Tharn Wolf Riders like that yet?

Sadly, no. They repackaged Wolf Riders are still all metal.

Boooo! Still, a step in the right direction, even if they haven't stepped as far as I'd like yet

Hoarluk Doomshaper; Dire Prophet and Ace are up on the main page now (I know we've seen them already... But these pictures have the official background now!?):





November 30th release. Big fan of both.

Interesting to note that both kits are going to be made with both resin & metal.

Neither one seems that large (both kits sitting on 40mm bases), so it seems surprising to see resin in both.

Hoarluk definitely looks as big as some other recent resin and metal casters; Anson Durst for example.

Well Doomshaper is two models so making it a hybrid makes it a bit cheaper since that would've been a lot of metal. As for Ace, I think most character Jacks are hybrid anymore. Moros is a hybrid kit and it's a light character. It's lighter and a bit cheaper that way.

New errata.
Huge changes, big nerfs on ehaley, cryx and gorman + nice buffs for mountain king and archangel!

Oh and the rules are going to be free now!

Huge changes and FREE RULES as well!

Seriously, the Errata changes are awesome for the game, and the free Prime/Primal to boot just make this an awesome day for Warmahordes

Are the Errata changes highlighted anywhere? I don't see a separate link for them. Awesome that they're making the rules free!!

Changes are highlighted in Red on the errata document, but check here:
http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?236100-August-2015-Errata-and-You

for the best possible summary of the changes. Basically, eHaley, eDenegrah and Gorman have been nerfed to an extent, the Anamantarix, Mountain King and Archangel have been buffed a bit, but all very deserved changes.

Pretty excited about the rules. May help get more of my friends on board.

Free rules is awesome but it wasn't long ago I bought both the rulebooks... (That said I got both of them for less than a 40k codex is so I'm not bothered at all).

And that errata... Those are some pretty big changes. They're things people have been wanting for a long time though. Although there's still people complaining about them on the official forum.

Huh. Well, those are some pretty solid changes, and nice to see a PDF of the core rules.

One of PP's first releases in quite some time that I have nothing but positive feelings about.

There's always the hardcore types that see any broken or imbalanced rules combo as perfectly fine. Good to see PP has stopped listening to that sounding box and starting swinging the game back from the brink of Mk1 redux.

This is especially important for the future of the game, and for the Jack to Infantry/Solo balance. As they keep expanding the game, as they must do, all these abilities will just keep adding and comboing on each other, so if they don't start fixing them everything collapses under its own weight.

Releasing the rules for free online is another step towards dealing with the problem, as it's easier to justify more sweeping changes when the rules are free online.

Who are you and what have you done with the real spiralingcadaver?

Yay - good show PP. I know a lot of people have been clamoring for MK 2.5 - perhaps that won't be needed after all.

I just wish they would release updated cards for everything (either as a .pdf or as a yearly errata pack or something).

Silly question perhaps, but will the online rules have the errata replacing the original text?

A cursory examination of the shake effects section of prime points to "no".

I guess that kind of makes sense. If some of the errata read: "Remove the second sentence", or "Replace the fourth sentence with..." it would get confusing if someone didn't realize that the errata document only applied to the hard copies.

Except it would say "remove the sentence ..." and refer to a sentence already gone. Or say "replace with ..." and refer to a sentence already in the rulebook.

So you'd be able to tell. It would have been better IMO to add the errata in - I mean, I kinda figured the point of having free rulebooks was to have a living rulebook, and the point of those is to update the rules as you go?

Warroom gets updated to reflect the Errata.

New Blighted Nyss Swordsmen/Archers up on the main page, much better than the current ones. They're still kinda ugly but more in a meant to be ugly way, than a bad model ugly way.



Plus the Glacier King is up. Fantastic model in my opinion.

One nice thing about the Nyss -they're a combined box (can make either archers or swordsman) but they're in at $49.99.

Previous combined boxes had a small $5 price bump on them, which people complained about. (including myself)

Hopefully they are stepping away from that now?

50$ for 10 plastic models is still a bit steep, but if they are of better quality than the hateful Cyriss plastics were, it isn't too bad a deal. Not like you need 3 boxes to make a unit or something.

Also, MUCH less ugly. Good job PP. Hopefully the Skorne can be touched up similarly.

$50 for 10 plastic models is a bit steep as a baseline, but looking at these I think they are well worth it. Something I like about PP kits is that though they are a series of mono-poses they take advantage of that to make a great combination of poses that enhances the feel of the unit to match their fluff and tabletop role. The fact that these guys simply look good to start with helps the matter as well. Altogether, if I bought this kit I would feel like I got my money's worth (I probably won't get it because I don't play Everblight, but the sentiment is there).

The Skorne have been redone in plastic already:


Like the Nyss, they look ugly still, but as if they're deliberately so. Much better than the metals imo.

I still won't pay $5/PVC grunt. Won't pay it for PP, won't pay it for Soda Pop. Maybe one day there'll be such epic PVC that'll change my mind, but that day hasn't come.

I will not pay it in a shop, I will not pay, I will not.
Not for a Nyss, not for a peice. I will pay not one jot.

Man, Corvus Belli and Mierce really spoiled other minis for me...I love the game but rarely is there a model that might even hold a candle to what gw is pulling off lately :/
