Battle Foam have been licensed to produce ‘official’ PP miniature carry cases:
Privateer Press is pleased to announce it has licensed the rights to create official miniatures carrying cases for its award winning WARMACHINE and HORDES miniatures games to Battle Foam.
The Battle Foam WARMACHINE and HORDES miniature carrying cases are scheduled to release in January 2010 to coincide with the release of WARMACHINE Prime Mk II. Each case holds 161models and is reinforced with hard plastic to form a protective shell around the figures. In addition are several pockets to hold gaming accessories as well as an interior binder clip to hold card sheets.
Battle Foam also plans to release special faction-specific foam tray sets that will include custom-cut trays to carry the more irregular models. These sets will be available in the months following the main product’s release.
Pre-orders will start in Dec 09 with delivery expected Jan 10 to coincide with the release of WM MKII.
At present I have no details of UK availability.

Just in the process of ramping things up and sorting out my show schedule for 2010. Full details should be available by the end of November but hopefully Albanich & Crusade in January; Vapnartak & Cavalier in February; Warrior Bazaar, Overlord and WMMS in March.
In addition I am also hoping to organise a few tournaments at some of these shows and sponsor tournaments at other shows.

Privateer Press have released details of the first Forces of WARMACHINE book, which will be released in early 2010:
Known as the Jewel of the Iron Kingdoms, the great nation of Cygnar is beset by enemies on all sides. Against these threats stands the elite army of the Cygnus, including battle-hardened trenchers, deadly long gunners, and the legendary Storm Knights, warriors whose weapons bristle with lightning. Armed with the most advanced mechanika in the Iron Kingdoms, the stalwart and courageous soldiers of Cygnar stand resolute against those who seek to destroy their beloved homeland.
Take up the fight for the Cygnus with Forces of WARMACHINE: Cygnar, featuring:
• Complete faction rules and profiles for using all current Cygnar models in WARMACHINE Mk II.
• New troops to bring to the fight, plus the all-new warcaster Captain Kara Sloan.
• An in-depth look at the history and structure of Cygnar’s military.
• A painting and modeling guide to help you ready your forces for battle.
• Cygnar Theme Force lists and rules, which allow you to create armies based on specialized forces from the nation of Cygnar.

The Ancible will be launched in November. A full-colour 84-page magazine it will cover an eclectic mix of Sci Fi and Fantasy wargames.
Issue One will contain a WARMACHINE battle report. I will certainly be subscribing as I think ventures like this deserve the support of the wargaming community during their launch. If it is good I’ll resubscribe. When Forge Games restarts next year I’ll probably use The Ancible to advertise the shop.
