Don’t Miss These Convention Exclusives
These special, limited-edition releases will be available at Lock & Load 2015 while supplies last!
HORDES 10-Year Anniversary Collector’s Set
We celebrated the 10th anniversary of WARMACHINE with a celebrated collector’s box featuring the Butcher Unleashed. That remains one of our most coveted releases of all time, and it just wouldn’t be fair if we didn’t give HORDES the same treatment! The HORDES 10-Year Anniversary Collector’s Set is limited just 1000 sets and features an individually numbered art print, collector’s coin, and an exclusive diorama display base to display Kromac, Champion of the Wurm throwing himself into combat against Saeryn & Rhyas, Talons of Everblight!
Victoria Haley: The Prime Collection
This collector’s set contains the Major Prime Victoria Haley model, two
Limited-edition Privateer Pins, and a hardcover copy of At What Cost, an original novella by Douglas Seacat!
Brute Thrall—Femme Fatale Variant
In what has become a tradition, we’re releasing a new convention-exclusive alternate sculpt. Add this variant of the Cryx Brute Thrall to your collection while you can!
Skull Island eXpeditions Releases in Print
For the first time ever, not one but two Skull Island eXpeditions books will be available in print! Pick up your own copies of the Iron Kingdoms Omnibus and Larry Correia’s Into the Storm!
Shredder Plushy
Equal parts cuddly and killy, the Shredder Plushy is an essential companion for any aspiring warlock. This little mouth-on-legs has a maw of razor-sharp teeth and an appetite to go with it, so feed it regularly. Just watch your fingers!
Faction Mugs
Show your faction pride with every cup of coffee! Reach for your own official faction mug for your morning cup, on the way to those important business meetings, or even as a snazzy water mug for your painting station.
Privateer Pins
Privateer Pins will celebrate its first anniversary at Lock & Load GameFest 2015. Lots of new pins will be available for sale and trade at the show, and many will be available at the Privateer Press Online Store as well. Click here for more info on the exciting new Lock & Load releases.

Saturday, June 6, we’ll crown the 2015 Iron Gauntlet World Champion, and you won’t want to miss that. We’ll cover one game from each round of the Iron Gauntlet, culminating in the championship game. Coverage will start at about 10 A.M. PT. To wrap up the evening, tune in for the Lock & Load Cosplay Contest. This year’s event will be more spectacular than ever, because we’ll have two very special guests helping to host and judge—Allie Rose-Marie Leost and Marisha Ray, both featured in No Quarter #60 for their stunning portrayals of Allison Jakes and Skarre Ravenmane!
Sunday’s coverage continues with a live play through of The Undercity—An Iron Kingdoms Adventure Board Game. If you’ve been curious what this upcoming cooperative board game is all about, tune in at 11 A.M. PT to watch guest players adventure through the underbelly of Corvis for the first time! Stick around for two Iron Exhibition games. We’ll invite a few Lock & Load attendees to play a casual game of WARMACHINE or HORDES with the same broadcast coverage our Iron Gauntlet games receive. These games will start at approximately 1 P.M. and 4 P.M. PT.
