I’d like to know if PP have any plans for plastic miniatures for Warmachine or Hordes (either along the lines of the GW multipart kits or the Rackham prepainted miniatures approach).

Or leave it in. Since they’ve made an all-plastic game now, I’m not sure if gavroche’s question is that far off the topic.

gavroche: Well, we do know that this is something they are actively looking into. I remember hearing this in an interview with Matt Wilson on both Podthralls and the D6 Generation podcasts. I’m not really sure that anything more will be forthcoming at this point, as he indicated at that point in time the plans were still reasonably preliminary.

Are there any plans to mitigate “power-creep?” Wherein each new set is much more powerful then the last, and older models become nearly useless?

Also will you be trying to keep the number of models and units in each release small, as opposed to other collectible games (Wizkids Pirate’s card game, Wizard’s Star Wars, etc.)?

Is the supported organised play going to be US only or are there plans in place for organised play events in the UK and elsewhere?

Are there any plans to release some of the monsterpocalypse monsters in pewter/resin/unpainted-unmounted plastic for more modeling-oriented folks? I am not necessarily thinking about casting the same models as the PPP ones, more something along the line of the “Extreme” Hordes models.

I posted this on the PP forum, and though it’s not a question per se, I would like to know the reasoning behind it (Zac could obviously shorten it to asking length)..

This is probably easily the biggest release PP has ever had. TGN reports that every starter has sold out. Thats huge. So what do we get for the biggest launch in their history? “You do it.”

I don’t get the whole… We’ll send you prize support, but do whatever you want, whenever you want, it’s no biggie to us.

Where is the giant coordinated release event that screams “Giant Monsters have invaded the world!!!!” Instead we get, “Meh, here are big monsters, have fun….”

My LGS, who is very close to PP in both location and in business contact didn’t even realize that they had to come up with the events on their own without any guideline except to give out these prizes. Thats a week and a half before the release without realizing.

I really think PP purposely missed the boat on how big a splash this release could have been. I’m pretty disappointed. I’m very happy with the game, just bewildered by the lackluster release.

Ok, thats cool if this was “ask Larkin Vain” ;) j/k

The Hordes release was gigantic with the coordinated event in ‘05 and I think this could have been bigger for those that could have participated (not that its not going to be a huge release anyway, I just think it could have been a way bigger splash). You could then do two more store run events afterwards (since we’re doing 3 anyway) for those that are in different situations. Also, the communication about it was sort of vague, as I said my LGS didn’t even realize it until yesterday.

So thats why I’m asking Matt and Erik about it.

Heheh, I’m trying to promote my self importance :) I guess for those without an active PG wanting to promote the game in their area, I can see where communication about was a problem. I know for a fact none of my shops had no idea of the release pack thing until I brought it up to them and had them re-do their orders.

They have them advertised on their website so I would think that your local store may have them. You can probably phone them and ask as they should know by now whether they will be stocking them

Why is the grid 17 x 17? I was going to make a custom map but wanted to make it as tiles. To my surprise I find that map is not divisible with a whole number and therefore not able to be tiled. It just strikes me as odd to pick such an odd number (no pun intended) for the map grid.
