WELCOME TO PRIVATEER PRESS GAME DAY!

What Happens Here?

Our Privateer Press Game Days are a very informal meeting of like-minded individuals who enjoy playing, discussing and exploring Privateer's miniature games.

Do I Have To Bring A Warband?

Not unless you specifially want to play that particular game system or faction. Most of our Privateer fans are very friendly and more than happy to show you the ropes if you're brand new. Some of them can even be persuaded to loan you a few minis to get in the action right away: all you have to do is not be shy and ask! Just keep in mind that, if you choose not to supply your own miniatures, your choices will be limited to what other players may have on hand.

Is There An Entrance Fee?

No. We believe that by providing free game space, we are helping promote the industry as a whole and that our loyal patrons will support that playing space by purchasing their miniatures in our store.

Are There Any Prizes?

Privateer Press Game Days are casual, informal events - not organized tournaments. As such, no prizes are offered to the winners of each game.

What Is Warmachine?

Warmachine is a tabletop steampunk wargame produced by Privateer Press.

The game is played with white metal miniatures manufactured by Privateer Press representing military characters from the Iron Kingdoms D20 Role Playing Game setting. Battles are fought between warcasters from rival kingdoms, the large steam-powered warjacks that the warcasters control, and troops consisting of humans and fantasy races.

In 2004, Warmachine won the Origins Awards for Best Fantasy Miniatures Rules of 2003 and Best Fantasy Miniatures Series of 2003. In 2005 Warmachine won Game of the Year at Origins and Gamers Choice for Best Miniatures.

A compatible companion game involving the savage factions is named HORDES.

What Is Hordes?

Hordes is the name of a 30mm tabletop miniature wargame produced by Privateer Press, announced at Gen Con 2005 and released on April 22, 2006. Although a completely standalone game in its own right, Hordes was designed as a companion to Warmachine, Privateer Press' flagship miniatures game. The games are 100% compatible, and share much of the same rules set, although the most important mechanic - fury for Hordes and focus for Warmachine - remains unique to each. Hordes forces and Warmachine forces often face off against each other both on the tabletop and in the background fiction. The games share the same setting, the Iron Kingdoms, with much of the Hordes storyline taking place in the wild areas away from the 'civilized' areas where Warmachine's major action takes place.

Hordes won the 2006 Origins Award for Miniatures Game or Expansion of the Year.
