"For the Empress and the Motherland
In the cold north of western Immoren lies the mighty Khadoran Empire, whose massive military epitomizes the national ideals of strength and resilience. Legions of Winter Guard march at the call of the empress, bent on conquest of the entire Iron Kingdoms. Led by powerful warcasters as unrelenting as the Khadoran winter and backed by elite soldiers such as the disciplined Iron Fang Pikemen and the imposing Man-O-War troopers who stride into battle in great steam-powered suits of armor, the army of Khador is ready to crush all who stand against them."

So nice, and just about in time to get folks hooked for the holidays! Stunning art too, I can't wait to collect all of the "FORCES" books!

I think the soft cover will be about 35 and the hard cover will be about 45 (this is in USD).

I am freaking amped for this book. Really excited that they're doing it in hardcover. Strakhov and co should be disgusting.

What's the release date?

The fact they mentioned Man-o-Wars gives me some hope we might be seeing something special for them in the near future.

I'm not holding my breath...

I had the same thought too! Is it our wishful thinking or is PP giving us a hint?

Wait, Widowmaker solo? Did I miss something? I'd love a reference or link.

I'm meh on the plastic jack kit. I already have two destoyers, a marauder, and a juggernaut. I'd sort of like the new jack, but since the scale looks different I'm not sure how much I want to mix them. Maybe I'll get plastic for the new guy and just go with the EXTREME versions of the destroyer and juggy. So much painting though, and I'm already behind...

Anyway, the Khador forces book will be preordered at my FLGS so I know I'll have a copy in my hands on general availability day.

Too bad that the text at the bottom is mostly gibberish, it seems.
The knowledge we have seems to suggest it reads "THERJANDTOTAE EMPRESS IPJEDGEFEAJTYJETMYSPI"

J = > L gives you

THER LAND TOTAE EMPRESS I PLEDGE FEALTY LET MY SPI
Jack Shandy

And the 12th character looks like an H to me, so

THERLAND TO THE EMPRESS I PLEDGE FEALTY LET MY SPI

So it's an excerpt of something that reads "Motherland, to the empress I pledge fealty, let my spirit"

Or they're just teasing us. PP must know that Khador wants some MOW love.

Oooooh. Love the cover! At a first guess I'd suspect that this is Khador army stomping through one of Llael's cities.

Is it possible to find deciphering of this alphabet online somewhere?

There's a font file in this old thread: http://old.privateerpressforums.com/index.php?showtopic=38910&hl=translation

However, that has as 'J' the rune I believe to be 'L'

Didn't catch a release date anywhere? For some reason I think it was supposed to be in February. Anyone know an answer.

According to maelstromgames RPP is 20£ for softcover, 25£ for hard price.

In Finland that means probably 40e/50e...

Too much stuff coming that I want! ARGH And I still don't have all of OLD stuff I want(like Karchev for example! I have 6+ warjacks so warjack caster would be welcome ;-)

Oh, you're right, the text file I used had the J and L swapped and I just read that H wrong. Yup.

I need a bookshelf. I buy hardcovers to put on display and softcovers to abuse like someone who cuts me off in traffic.

Wouldn't it be smarter to do it the other way? If it's on display nothing is going to happen to it either way, and when you want to pound some bastard over the head with an object you want said object to be heavy and inflexible.
