Where it came from
Hordes was launched by Privateer Press in 2006 as a companion tabletop wargame to their established Warmachine system. Set in the Iron Kingdoms, a fantasy world blending steampunk aesthetics with traditional magic, the game shifted the narrative focus from mechanical warfare to the untamed wilderness. It was designed to function as a standalone game while remaining fully compatible with Warmachine, allowing players to pit mechanized armies against the monstrous forces of nature.
The game is characterized by its use of the 'fury' system, which differentiates it from its sister title by focusing on the management of warbeasts rather than warjacks. Matt Wilson and the creative team at Privateer Press emphasized a distinct visual identity for each of the game's initial factions—the Circle Orboros, Legion of Everblight, Skorne, and Trollbloods. Upon release, the game was well-received for its tactical depth and its contribution to the growing popularity of metal-miniature skirmish games during the mid-2000s.
