2 COMING UNBOUND Last issue I dropped a hint that “something big” was coming to WARMACHINE. Naturally, my mysterious announcement spurred all manner of speculation in our player community. Conjectures included more battle engines, a new faction, and even a return of the Orgoth. However, I dare say what we actually have in store for you this issue is much bigger than any of those things. Before I go into more detail, I want to set the stage a bit. To a wargamer, there’s no more breathtaking scene than a terrain-bedecked table strewn with hundreds of models. Just imagine 150+ points of your favorite faction moving across a 4´ x 6´ table like a great, metal battering ram and smashing into an opposing army of the same size! Now imagine there is a fun, streamlined set of rules that allows you to easily manipulate that vast army on the table. As you may have guessed, the Privateer Press development team has created a new set of rules for large-scale battles for WARMACHINE and HORDES, and this issue of No Quarter gives you the first look at what we call Unbound. This issue presents the basic rules for Unbound, giving you everything you need to start staging WARMACHINE and HORDES battles of truly epic proportions. Future issues of No Quarter will add to the Unbound experience, first with special scenarios designed for large-scale battles and then with a rules expansion designed to enhance Unbound games. How’s that for big? While we’ve certainly devoted a large portion of this issue to Unbound, No Quarter #36 is still brimming with your favorite content. The final WARMACHINE: Wrath preview gives you the details on two more battle engines; Forces of Distinction gives you new Theme Forces for Legion of Everblight and Mercenaries; Guts & Gears offers up an entry on the fearsome War Hog; Power Progression covers Circle Orboros; and Strategic Academy checks in with a detailed account of all things Cygnar. On the hobby side of things, Modeling & Painting presents an article on creating fantastic gems and jewels, and Terrain Building shows you how to create awesome Iron Kingdoms-themed hills. Yet more awesome content can be found in the new Rotterhorn Shattered Grounds league, event previews for Lock & Load and Gen Con, and much, much more. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I encourage you to take your copy of the Unbound rules, slap together a 150-point (or bigger) army, and start learning the true meaning of epic. Personally, my own giant Unbound army is well under way, and I’m already envisioning a massive horde of gators bursting out of the Fenn Marsh to devour half of Cygnar. Joy.

COMING UNBOUNDLast issue I dropped a hint that “something big” was coming to WARMACHINE. Naturally, my mysterious announcement spurred all manner of speculation in our player community. Conjectures included more battle engines, a new faction, and even a return of the Orgoth. However, I dare say what we actually have in store for you this issue is much bigger than any of those things.
Before I go into more detail, I want to set the stage a bit. To a wargamer, there’s no more breathtaking scene than a terrain-bedecked table strewn with hundreds of models. Just imagine 150+ points of your favorite faction moving across a 4´ x 6´ table like a great, metal battering ram and smashing into an opposing army of the same size! Now imagine there is a fun, streamlined set of rules that allows you to easily manipulate that vast army on the table.
As you may have guessed, the Privateer Press development team has created a new set of rules for large-scale battles for WARMACHINE and HORDES, and this issue of No Quarter gives you the first look at what we call Unbound.
This issue presents the basic rules for Unbound, giving you everything you need to start staging WARMACHINE and HORDES battles of truly epic proportions. Future issues of No Quarter will add to the Unbound experience, first with special scenarios designed for large-scale battles and then with a rules expansion designed to enhance Unbound games.
How’s that for big?
While we’ve certainly devoted a large portion of this issue to Unbound, No Quarter #36 is still brimming with
your favorite content. The final WARMACHINE: Wrath preview gives you the details on two more battle engines; Forces of Distinction gives you new Theme Forces for Legion of Everblight and Mercenaries; Guts & Gears offers up an entry on the fearsome War Hog; Power Progression covers Circle Orboros; and Strategic Academy checks in with a detailed account of all things Cygnar.
On the hobby side of things, Modeling & Painting presents an article on creating fantastic gems and jewels, and Terrain Building shows you how to create awesome Iron Kingdoms-themed hills. Yet more awesome content can be found in the new Rotterhorn Shattered Grounds league, event previews for Lock & Load and Gen Con, and much, much more.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, I encourage you to take your copy of the Unbound rules, slap together a 150-point (or bigger) army, and start learning the true meaning of epic. Personally, my own giant Unbound army is well under way, and I’m already envisioning a massive horde of gators bursting out of the Fenn Marsh to devour half of Cygnar. Joy.
