Characters for the KoW summer campaign

they are resin and will be sold separately. Release date is July. Pre-orders will be going up soon.

Aww man, that mage in the last pic is about to do some serious dance moves. Moves so good you might even say they're....magic

Those look pretty cool, I like the first and last especially.

Similar thought here.

That mage don't impress me much.




(Actually it's a really cool sculpt.)

Cannot unsee.

Yeah, all of this sculpts are pretty good. They don't have anything to envy to GW. Good to see mantic improving! Their Sci-fi ranges are all lovely, but is obvious how the Kings of War range was the first they have done.

My favourite is the female demon with the whip. I have a sweet spot for those helmets that cover the superior half of the face Angewomon-style

I like the looks of all of them, but I'm sure Dakka knows where my loyalties truly lie.

My only worry is with the whip brandishing vampire killer, and the fragility of said whip.

Don't worry, it's Mantic, by the time it's produced it will be a missile launcher and the model will be made of tar . Or they could be proactive and ship each one with a spaghetti noodle, just cook until it's begins to go a little soft then glue into place. You can even eat the leftovers.

I wasn't too impressed with the resin they used for Tyrant King Blaine, but the more Prodos-like resin they have used on their large Abyssals and elementals is a good material. Still, I'm hoping they release a version of each in boardgame plastic.

I'm worried about the fragility of the vampire killer. Don't you dare break her heart. She deserves better.

Some nice miniatures in there. I hope all the new stuff from now on matches these for sculpting.

True

I suppose I was majested by the minis.

I just want to re-position the mages' head so he's dabbing..

NO DABBING.

I swear to God I will take a students' recess away the moment they start dabbing near me.

Don't think I don't see you trying to play it off when I walk past your desks either.

dabbing...

If you hate that, my twerking lizardman probably isn't going to be for you either..

Revenant King on Undead Wyrm WIP (not a finished miniature!)

A bit hard to see how it curls around itself when it's in all grey. I think I like it though.

Judging by the size of the rider, it's pretty huge. I'm not a big fan of the recent Mantic trend of making their monsters too big to fit on their nominal base-size. Although I might overestimate the bulk a bit?

Hm, all of these sculpts look quite nice. Are they going to be available from other retailers, or only direct from Mantic?

Will that Wyrm fit on a 50mm base?

Not without mounting it on a big rock or something similar. It looks like they have used the 3d model or the Dungeon Saga dragon as a basis for the sculpt so I would guess that it will fit on a 75mm base along with the other DS Dragon derivatives.

Is there a non-metal Mantic large monster that isn't on a 75mm base? They seem so consistent that one supposes 75mm will be a thing in KOW 3.0 ... and the scuttle is that some monsters may have upgradable profiles, that come with a base size bump from 50 to 75 as well. Though it does feel like 3.0 is some ways off.

Sad. Face.

Hi all, this is my first post on Dakka!

Is the new two player set old news?

The Battle of the Glades contents:

20 Hard Plastic Naiad Ensnarers/Heartpiercers

20 Hard Plastic Salamanders

1 Metal Druid

20 Hard Plastic Lower Abyssals/Flamebearers

20 Hard Plastic Succubi

1 Metal Abyssal Champion

1 Kings of War Gamer’s Edition Rulebook

It's news to me. Looking good. And welcome to Dakka!

What is the price?

Firestormgames have RRP listed as £49.99.

Using Mantic's conversion rate, it should have an RRP of US$75 or EUR 65.

Hmmm...I've had a passing interest in both the naiads and the succubi models, so such a thing might end up on the radar.

Unfortunately between 40k and Red Thunder for Team Yankee, I'm not sure I'll have the budget to pick it up immediately.

EDIT: And welcome to Dakka, Esker!

And the final one has shown up. This one is on a 25mm base but the price is the same.

Have not been following things. What's the deal with the summer campaign?

Are these charachters for a soon-to-be-released campaign book?

This soon to be released campaign book available for pre-order at £13.49? Maybe.
