Privateer Press Hordes - Compact Measuring Set

The official Hordes measuring key set (PIP91089) includes a multipurpose measuring key, a small-base blast measuring key, a medium-base blast measuring key, and a large-base blast measuring key. These tools enable precise measurement of melee ranges, distance to targets with stealth, line-of-sight through forests, and blast areas around directly hit models. Players take on the role of Warcasters, leading their titanic forces into battle. Warcasters possess significant martial prowess and have access to hardened warriors and magical spells. The true strength of a Warcaster lies in their ability to control and coordinate the mighty combat automatons, the warjacks, at the heart of their forces. Players collect, assemble, and paint fantastically detailed models representing the varied warriors, machines, and creatures in their armies. WARMACHINE is fully compatible with its feral twin, the monstrous miniatures combat game of HORDES.

The Warcasters are the focal point of the game, wielding immense power and leading their armies to victory. They are not merely passive commanders but active participants in the battles, using their own martial skills and magical abilities to turn the tide of the conflict. The warjacks, massive combat automatons, are the centerpiece of the forces under the Warcasters' command. These powerful machines can turn the tide of a battle, and the Warcasters must master their control and coordination to unleash their full potential.

The game's depth lies in the intricate interplay between the Warcasters, their warriors, and the warjacks. Each faction has its own unique units and strategies, allowing for a diverse and dynamic gameplay experience. Players must carefully consider their army composition, the synergies between their units, and the tactical deployment of their forces to emerge victorious.

The measuring tools provided in the official Hordes set are essential for precisely tracking the ranges and areas of effect in the game. Accurate measurements are crucial for determining the outcome of battles, as the distance and positioning of units can mean the difference between success and failure. These tools allow players to navigate the complex terrain and engage in strategic maneuvers, ensuring a fair and engaging gameplay experience.

The visual aspect of WARMACHINE and HORDES is a significant draw for many players. The fantastically detailed models, each representing a unique warrior, machine, or creature, allow players to immerse themselves in the rich and imaginative world of the game. Painting and customizing these models can become a rewarding hobby in itself, as players strive to create visually stunning armies that reflect their personal style and vision.

Overall, the WARMACHINE and HORDES games offer a deep and engaging tactical experience, with a focus on the interplay between Warcasters, their forces, and the powerful warjacks. The measuring tools and the visually stunning models contribute to a well-rounded gaming experience that appeals to a wide range of players, from veteran strategists to newcomers to the miniatures wargaming genre.
