Next Monday we'll be doing kind of a free for all game night of Warmachine/Hordes MkII and Wings of War at 7:30. I'll post up links to the MkII rules for both Warmachine and Hordes later today.

Craig and I both have enough models, to lend for a small game and still have enough for a force of our own.

This is a great tool for figuring out your army list, I don't know when they'll update it for Hordes Mk II (supposedly available as of noon today) - http://www.engineeringcalculator.net/ArmyBuilder.html

Kevin, the Cygnar battlebox comes out to 11 points under the new rules. I remember Craig saying you had a box of Stormblades too, are those put together. If so we could probably do 15 or 20ish, depending on what you have.

There are, however, a number of changes in this new edition. For many models, we have consolidated similar abilities and spells, cut abilities that lead to complex timing interactions, and made sure each model remained true to its intended role in its respective army. We have also redefined the mechanics for unit formation and field promotion. Another change that will have an impact on games with multiple warlocks is the addition of battlegroups to HORDES. Each warlock will have an assigned battlegroup of warbeasts, synching HORDES up with WARMACHINE and allowing warlocks access to battlegroup-oriented spells, abilities, and feats.

Here are some direct links to the rules. If you click the link directly it will probably open up in your browser. I would suggest doing a right-click, then save as (and choose an appropriate place to save the file to).

Note: The Privateer Press website is running very slowly today, it is probably getting a lot of traffic for the Hordes MkII fieldtest rules. Let it wait a bit after you do your "Save As".
