	PP is currently trying to undo some of the damage. In addition to the long-awaited rules patches, they're pushing skirmish games like Riot Quest, the new Warmahordes/[[Infinity]] knockoff in SPAAAAAAACE! (Warcaster; so far the models look good but the factions are blander than bread), and such. They even brought back [[Monsterpocalypse]] without blind boxes. Unfortunately, they've also been randomly abandoning games, marketing like morons, and throwing Kickstarters at the wall but fleeing before they have a chance to take root. The community is a massive free-for-all [[Skub]]-fest right now, and abruptly firing their entire demo team managed to piss off a lot of the people who'd normally be [[Shill\|running damage control]] for them.

	Among the many projects fired in a desperate attempt to stay afloat is an attempt to go back to their roots and crowdfund a [[Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition\|5E]] conversion splatbook for the Iron Kingdoms. Considering how absurdly open to homebrew 5E is, it would've been easy to turn out a halfway-decent product that could scratch that steampunk fantasy itch for a new generation. Instead, a bunch of old 3.X dogs completely failed to learn new tricks, and the supplement was laughably bad and amateurish on both a rules and a basic design level. Still, it made a good bundle of money thanks to both the 5E crowd and the strength of the setting itself, with more such supplements in the pipeline.

	Also, [[Monsterpocalypse]]. First they tried to bring microtransaction-randomness to our tables, [[Magic: The Gathering\|forcing us to buy the same damn boxes over and over]] [[WizKids\|hoping they'll randomly have what we want]]. Then the game died for like five years. Now it's back.. as long as you live in the USA and you're willing to hork up twice as much per model. Or $20 for a single resin building.

Then the game died for like five years. Now it's back.. as long as you live in the USA and you're willing to hork up twice as much per model. Or $20 for a single resin building.

	They also make the P3 line of [[paint]]s, which are a whole hell of a lot cheaper than the Citadel line. They have a better range of paints too, including a bunch of [[Brits\|colours]] that [[Citadel Miniatures\|Citadel]] no longer carries. Depending on where you go, they are probably the second most easily available line of paints, and since they save you money, why the fuck would you buy [[Games Workshop\|GW's]] line? Privateer's paint selection has nowhere near the color range of Tamiya or Vellajo, however, they have way more than Citadel and in lots of places they're easier to come by than those other "professional modeling" paints.

	The company is based in the USA, with their headquarters in Bellevue, Washington (an up-rent parasite across the lake from Seattle, and just down the road from [[Catalyst Game Labs]]). Curiously for this 'murican enterprise, they haven't tried to expand their market to the Southern continent. While most gaming and toy companies act like this is a requirement, it may because most young people in [[Latinoamerica]] don't have the resources or cultural interest to get into anything more complex than Pokémon and Monopoly. If they actually ''do'' have it they'll opt for Gundams and Warhammer 40k, since GW have managed to establish some stores in Latino land.

			== Privateer Press Paints ==
			Privateer Press makes the Formula P3 line of [[paint]]s, which are a whole hell of a lot cheaper than the Citadel line in 18ml snap-cap pots. They have a better range of paint than the obvious competitor, including a bunch of [[Brits\|colours]] that [[Citadel Miniatures\|Citadel]] no longer carries, and are much better about keeping up brand synergy by having special paint bundles available for each faction in Warmahordes, making the process a much less painful experience if you plan to pick up an army.

			Depending on where you go, they are probably the second most easily available line of paints, and since they save you money, why the fuck would you buy [[Games Workshop\|GW's]] line? Privateer's paint selection has nowhere near the color range of Tamiya or Vellajo, but they have are ''far'' more accessible than those other "professional modeling" paints.
