If you're into Warmachine & Hordes and fancy yourself as a commander of the forces of Skorne or Menoth then you might want to take a look at the two new Army Boxes from Privateer Press for 2017.

The first of the boxes is the one for Skorne which contains a fifty point army consisting of...

• Warlock Archdomina Makeda
• Titan Gladiator Heavy Warbeast
• Titan Sentry Heavy Warbeast
• Basilisk Krea Light Warbeast
• Praetorian Swordsman (10)
• Praetorian Swordsman Officer & Standard Command Attachment
• Praetorian Karax (10)
• Praetorian Karax Officer & Standard Command Attachment
• Paingiver Beast Handlers (4)
• Orin Midwinter, Rogue Inquisitor Solo (Minion)

As a way to just dive straight into the world this ain't half bad and we reckon that they've focused these around some interesting tactical options.

If you're more of a fire and brimstone kind of player then how about the Protectorate of Menoth box?

Inside this one you get...

• Warcaster Vice Scrutator Vindictus
• 2x Sanctifier Heavy Warjacks
• Redeemer Light Warjack
• Choir of Menoth (6)
• Exemplar Errants (10)
• Knights Exemplar (6)
• Visgoth Juviah Rhoven & Honor Guard (3)

Packing quite a punch there it not only gives you a good handful of Warjacks but plenty of units to toss into the melee too. Both armies give you very different opportunities for painting but they could make for a great project to get stuck into throughout the year.

Which box would you buy?
