Ever since the Arcantrik Force Generator challenge was presented, speculation has run rampant across our great community as players tried to figure out what the final stat card looked like. Today the wait is over and the only question left to ask is "How close were you?"

The design studio has been hard at work over the last few months putting the finishing touches on WARMACHINE: Wrath. Art is being placed, stories edited, and proofs checked and double-checked. For a design nerd such as myself, I find it all very exciting. I love the smell of rubber cement in the morning!!

While we are excited to see Wrath on its way to the printer, you should also be excited for Wrath. It’s a very exciting book (how many times can I say exciting?).

Back in July I showed off a couple of recently assembled helljacks I meant to paint in the following months along with a list of eight other Cryx heavies. With convention season looming, my hobby time dried up like an open pot of paint, and the list of unpainted ‘jacks only got bigger.

One of the most gratifying parts of working at Privateer Press is interacting with our community. In fact, I can say that it was the community that led me to work here in the first place. In my previous life, back in New York, I was a pretty serious WARMACHINE and HORDES player. Having started as a hobbyist, I soon became a Press Ganger and it was among those black-clad ranks that I made friends at Privateer. These friends were instrumental in how I ended up sitting at this desk, eyeing a pile of unpainted Adepticon Skorne, and writing this blog. But I digress.

There are two exciting battle engine treats today. First, the Retribution of Scyrah Arcantirk Force Generator can be viewed in a glorious 360° rotation here. Second, I am very excited to present the first look at the completed Cygnar Storm Strider!

Today, my blog is about one of the events at Lock & Load. However, I need to preface this blog with bit of background about the Shattered Grounds league season models.

No Quarter Magazine #35 hits shelves next month, and while it’s chocked full of
awesome new content, the highlight of the issue has to be the preview of the rules
for the mighty battle engines. In fact, the issue even features a Battle Report that
pits the Khador Gun Carriage against the Retribution of Scyrah Arcantrik Force
Generator. While NQ also has an exclusive preview of the rules for the Khador Gun Carriage, we thought we would do something a little
different with the Arcantrik Force Generator preview.

An interview with Studio Painter Matt Dipietro.

What was the first model you painted for Privateer Press?

The first new release I painted for the Privateer Press Studio was part of the Pirates of the Broken Coast project. It was the lowly Sea Dog Rifleman. However, I went on to paint quite a few models for that book, including Fiona the Black, the Press Gangers, and Freebooter. It was a very exciting time, and I remember it fondly.

As retail development and support specialist at Privateer Press, I get an inside look into game stores across the planet. One of my favorite aspects of this privilege is having retailers share their creativity with me. Let me tell you, some people out there really love to show off how much they love our products!
