Morning!

With the jacking of GW prices, I've been thinking about backing away from 40K for a while, to see what happens, but I still need my fix of hobbalicious hobbydom! So I'm looking at Privateer Press as the next giant in the proverbial playground. But I know absolutely nothing about warmachine or hordes. And I'm at work and the Privateer Press website doesn't load properly here

Tell me a bit about the games and the models! Is it easy to play? Is the game broken into units like 40K? What are the objectives of the game? How about the models? Are they easy to work with? Help me out!
