A product review, WARMACHINE PRIME MKII and templates. All the gear...superb idea!

With the much anticipated release of Warmachine MkII I was finally able to get my book a couple of weeks ago (about feburary 13)and I must say it was worth the wait, 256 colour pages of pure warmachine madness!
The rulebook comprises of rules from the four main factions; Cygnar, Khador, Cryx and the Protectorate of Menoth though not the complete rules for the entire faction they instead provide a re-working of the models from Prime remix along with the addition of a new heavy warjack for each faction.

The price tag is a hefty £35 for the hardback edition (why would you buy anything else?)but for what it is it's a great price, at least £5 cheaper then another game comnpanies rulebook and in full colour with easy to understand rules and a great ready-to-go 'feel' to the book.
The softcover is much cheaper but contains an elusive 'phantom' page depicting some cryx 'jacks but really the Hardcover is where its at in terms of quality and durability.

To top off the MkII mode that I think were all in at the moment I purchased the HORDES template set (I am a HORDES player at heart) and Privateer Press are just rolling out the quality of their products.
The set contains their new 10' spray template with the fantastic new line of sight height markings along with a clip to stick your melee gauge into. A blast template with the 3',4',5' radius and the fantastic melee gauge with measurements of 0.5', 2' (for the models with reach) and a 1' cover measurement. I bet the question your asking is why would i even bother with that gauge? well even been in the situation where you cant fit your tape measure inbetween those two models? well consider your problems solved!
The models are of a high quality laser-etched plastic. The colour is a translucent green but clear enough to see through it with ease and the material is very solid and feels me with confidence of the product.

All in all if PP carry on their product line like this, we will see a stream of new players flocking for a product that their money deserves!
