Insider 10-13-2014


A healthy number of Privateer Pins are available through straightforward means; you can get them through the online store, trade for them with a staff member, or pick them up at convention demos (or send your friends to get them for you at said cons). A few of the promotional pins, however, demand more effort to add to your collection. I mean, I work here, and I still don’t have all of these…

Organized Play Masters Champion
Release date: June 2014

Availability: Win a Masters event

As I am not allowed to compete in tournaments, I have no choice here. I am forced to train my own secret champion in order to acquire this one.

Steamroller Champion (1st Place)
Release date: September 2014

Availability: Place first in a Steamroller event

Steamroller Warlord (2nd Place)
Release date: September 2014

Availability: Place second in a Steamroller event

Steamroller Hero (3rd Place)
Release date: September 2014

Availability: Place third in a Steamroller event

Yet more pins I must use my Cygnar de Bergerac technique to acquire.

Vanquisher
Release date: June 2014

Availability: Win Vanquisher at a Hardcore event

Hardcore requires a 50-point army. No problem there. But 50 points might just as well be 500 points—it’s out of my reach because I have a name badge that says “P. PRESS” right above my photo. I should just make my own pin…

UK Nationals
Release date: July 2014

Availability: Attend U.K. Nationals

Guess where I don’t live? Thankfully, I have some friends across the pond who would share their pins with me, if only they didn’t want to keep them for their own collections.

OP Iron Gauntlet World Championship Event Qualifier (gold)
Release date: June 2014

Availability: Take first place at an Iron Gauntlet Qualifier event

OP Iron Gauntlet World Championship Event Winner (silver)
Release date: June 2014

Availability: Qualify for the Iron Gauntlet World Championship event

I’m clearly going to need to be a puppetmaster on an epic scale if I want to acquire some of these pins.

No Quarter
Release date: June 2014

Availability: Online (with print or digital subscription)

Truth be told, this is the one I made for myself. But if you’re still after this one and we run out, I guess I can send you one from my personal collection. So…any chance you’ll want to trade your Masters pin?
