Hey all,
At the urging of a forumite on the WM/H boards I can a lookin' to see what this game is all about. I must say, the models alone have sold me hook, line and sinker. My favorite has to be the Demon models. From what I can glean from my web translations of this site's content, I really like what I see. I was about to invest in a third Hordes faction, but now I am not so sure. I really want to get a Demon and Lost boxed set, but with the recent talk of expansion into the English-speaking market, I sort of want to wait until the models come with English cards and I can get a copy of an English version of the rules. On top of all that I live in the U.S. so model availability is non-existent or in the case of Fanatization, on back order. But dang I want those Demon models!
As far as the rules are concerned, you can find the latest updated translation here (http://www.duke.edu/~mt29/HellDorado/) (1.7). Updates usually come shortly after official corrections/bug fixes and are announced in this (http://arch01.forum.helldorado.fr/index.php?topic=489.0) thread and on TGN.
As for the cards, you can also find fan translations of the starter boxes in this (http://arch01.forum.helldorado.fr/index.php?topic=339.0) thread. I have no idea of what Asmodée's plans are as far as releasing english cards. Perhaps they will offer the opportunity to get faction decks in english if there's a demand?
Welcome to the community. The models are great. Like you I am in the US so product is hard to get. The game is great and the models are awesome. I recently purchased 3 starters from Fanatization and love them all. They are easy to put together mostly 2 piece models that fit very well.
For my game play I created English version of the cards that you can download and print out. You can get them here.

These were taken from the translations over at Void gamers.
Thanks for the assist, especially Larkin Vain for the card link. That is exactly what I was looking for. Should be a lot easier to play now. I have read that the rulebook has very specific and varied terrain rules. I guess I am going to have to get it and translate it as best I can, if I want to take full advantage of the system.
