Hordes: Primal Paperback – June 12, 2006

I bought this for a couple of bucks for some inspiration for terrain and painting schemes. The ark work is fantastic, the story is decent enough and the picture of the models in different backgrounds are nicely done.

Though the content in this book has been superseded by MK2, this is still a great read. I wish Privateer Press would release an anthology of all the background, stories and more from these books.

Everything A O K.

So if you are reading this, you most likely already know a bit about what this sort of book is all about. If not, here is the short and dirty. You move little painted metal miniatures around on a table, roll some dice and see if your guys kill your friend's guys. Doesn't that sound like fun? It is! So this book is packed with awesome characters and stories. This isn't Joe Blow mountain man controlling a few dogs and troops. Every character, unit, beast, and solo has a story. Some are larger than others, but there is meat behind it all.Privateer has become successful, many people say, because of their awesome rules. They create an exciting atmosphere for these battles and create so much flexibility. If you play Warmachine, you already know the majority of the rules. You have to learn about the fury mechanic to really get the full grasp, but that's about it.I've heard of people who don't even wargame buying this book and loving it. It just has so much cool stuff in it, I guess you just have to flip though it to find out.

This book will help anybody become acquainted with the rules and history of the Hordes universe, a popular product line from Privateer Press. It displays the models and rules for each of the four playable factions and then adds a rich back story to each model that meshes well with the overall feel of each faction. An excellent buy.
