New Warmachine: Golden Crucible releases from Privateer Press!

Order by Date: June 1, 2018 
Release Date: July 2018 

Warmachine: Golden Crucible: Doctor Adolpheus Morley –
Character Solo (metal/resin)
$14.99 SRP 

Doctor Adolpheus Morley is an alchemist obsessed with his work, foregoing all comforts in his latest efforts to unlock new discoveries. Morley, who supports the Guard as head of its surgical division, has become obsessed with the effect of alchemical concoctions on the body, human or otherwise. Soldiers given to his care receive treatment with wary apprehension, as the man has a reputation as a dangerous lunatic. He views the battlefield as the ideal test bed for his latest creations, exposing his troops to all manner of combat stimulants without restriction. That a significant number of his mercenaries who survive the fighting subsequently expire does not deter the doctor in the slightest.

Doctor Adolpheus Morley is a mad scientist who uses the battlefields of western Immoren as his laboratory. He can be attached to a variety of Mercenary units in a Crucible Guard army, pairing especially well with Horgenhold Forge Guard (PIP 41101) and Steelhead Halberdiers (PIP 41120).



Warmachine: Golden Crucible: Combat Alchemists – Unit (metal/resin)

$24.99 SRP

These soldiers combine alchemical talents with traditional combat training to support more conventional military units. Carrying a variety of specialized alchemical grenades, they can effectively assault many different targets. Combat alchemist teams are drilled in path-finding and skirmish warfare, as they are often deployed in advance of a larger army to neutralize key threats.

The Crucible Guard Combat Alchemists are a versatile support unit. They can create walls of smoke to screen themselves and other valuable targets from enemy fire and use their ice grenades to lower the defense of especially nimble foes. They are a valuable part of any Crucible Guard army.


Warmachine: Golden Crucible: Liberator – Light Warjack (metal/resin)

$28.99 SRP

Crucible Arms ’jack mechaniks have taken the reliable Vanguard chassis and subjected it to systematic reconfiguration to produce several variant models, most notable among them the Liberator. To preserve the rare cortex materials required for traditional arc nodes, the Liberator is instead outfitted with an experimental new alchemical powered variant employing a formula of arcanely sensitive compounds. This apparatus is easier and cheaper to produce, allowing the Crucible Guard to deploy the machine in great numbers.

The Liberator Light Warjack offers the only arc node in the Faction, so it is an invaluable asset for any Crucible Guard warcaster. It can be added to the Army Box (PIP 37001) when expanding the army beyond 50 points or when building an army with Aurum Lucanum Athanor Locke (PIP 37016).

Numenera: Discovery & Destiny! New from Monte Cook Games!

Order by Date: June 1, 2018
Release Date: July 2018 

Numenera: Discovery
$59.99 SRP

They say there have been eight worlds before ours. Eight times the people of this Earth, over vast millennia, built their civilizations. They reached heights we cannot even imagine now: they spoke to the stars, reshaped the creatures of the world, and mastered form and essence. They built cities and machines that have since crumbled to dust, leaving only their vast outlines and barest remnants.

This is the Ninth World. The people of the prior worlds are gone—scattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain, in the places and devices that still contain some germ of function. The ignorant call these magic, but the wise know that these are our legacy. They are our future. They are the...

416-page corebook with poster map replaces the original Numenera corebook and has everything you need to play. Complete, streamlined game rules for a fast-paced, story-based tabletop roleplaying game experience. An intuitive, concept-driven character generation system, with scores of options for building just the character you imagine. Detailed information on a vast swath of the unique and compelling Ninth World setting. A bestiary of more than fifty creatures and characters. Hundreds of unique numenera items. Four complete adventures to launch any campaign. All existing Numenera supplements remain compatible with the new corebooks.

Numenera: Destiny

$59.99 SRP

For countless millennia the great civilizations of the prior worlds ruled this Earth. They built cities and machines of unimaginable grandeur and scale. They reshaped the very earth, and cast away from it to the planets, the stars, and even realms outside our reality. Their works were beyond number and beyond wonder. But now they are gone.

The world we have inherited lies in their shadow—and their ruins. Their glory has all but crumbled to dust—but have we lost all that they left us? Can we sift through the remnants of the prior worlds to lift this, the Ninth World, from its age of darkness? Perhaps we can, but only if we call upon every ounce of our grit, our wisdom, our will, and the mysterious workings of the...

416-page corebook with poster map supplements Numenera Discovery and defines a whole new way to play. Elegant rules for long-term campaign play centered on building and growing Ninth World communities, along with salvaging, crafting, vehicles, structures, and other devices. Exciting new character types options, creatures, equipment, and even four complete adventures all build around the Numenera Destiny theme. Creatures, cyphers, and artifacts that build on Numenera Destiny’s theme. All existing Numenera supplements remain compatible with the new corebooks.

world, and mastered form and essence. They built cities and machines that have since crumbled to dust, leaving only their vast outlines and barest remnants.

This is the Ninth World. The people of the prior worlds are gone—scattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain, in the places and devices that still contain some germ of function. The ignorant call these magic, but the wise know that these are our legacy. They are our future. They are the...
