Literally gives meaning to "when pigs can fly."

I want everything.

EVERYTHING.

Why we have to keep waiting on this stuff CMON? C'mon already!

Hadross gets clams, hermit crab men, fiddler crab men...

Teknes may have that walking chair, but it looks like we'll get two different load outs possibly for the pigbats?

Nasier gets a new character it looks like with a clawed gauntlet, and 2 different flying winged guys?

I see a new skinny Goritsi character (or at least one I don't recognize) hanging out in front of the Desolation Engine.

I know the original discussion was for this all to hit retail- is that still the case? Anyone ask?

I could do another Ancient King pledge if CMON want to go that route...

**Pugnacious_Cee**

Nasier also has new big hammer girls next to the smaller winged demon. So they have a new 80mm guy (purple wings), a new commander-looking model on the ridge in the back, the new hammer girls that look like larger pelegarth, and plus the new pelegarth men are for sale at Adepticon for the first time, too. Nasier seems like a clear favorite.

Poor Shael Han.

**Alpharius**

I was on the fence concerning Hadross - but no longer!

I'm diving in deep now - WOW!

**highlord tamburlaine**

Yeah, the new Hadross stuff is pretty cool.

Should have led off with more crab men than jellyfish guys. Or larger sharks for that matter.

Kind of sad that Goritsi and Shael Han have been left in the dust. At least we know Goritsi has the Packmaster and Rampager coming.

Geez, when you think about just how much stuff is in the pipeline... Nasier have at least 5 or 6 new units, Teknes has at least 3 or 4, Hadross has 4 or 5... that's a lot to let loose all at once on retail.

Somebody has to go find out if there's another Kickstarter brewing!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

They keep insisting that it's going to be retail for this (and Dark Age),

although I'd like to see another KS too

but then box games are much simpler to fulfil, and people would probably expect to be able to pick their faction at least (and add on everything individually too)

**usernamesareannoying**

So guys, I'm not real familiar with cmon outside of wrath of kings but do they treat all of their other games with the same lack of information/support that they do wok?
I've seen more new stuff here on dakka than I have on both the wok forums and Facebook page.

Supposedly they're adamant on this not getting another Kickstarter (which honestly I'm super happy about, I have a distinct KS fatigue).

Actually... well, let me just say that when they do finally show the Shael Han and Goritsi stuff they have hiding up their sleeves, I have to imagine a lot of people are going to respond very positively. Because they're really, really cool.

While this is temporarily frustrating, and I understand it, you should know that they have also been doing a fair bit of internal restructuring of staff since 4th quarter last year, and it's affected their release schedule and release of information. While that's not a good excuse by any means, it's at least understandable. The board games for their kickstarters have their assets produced by multiple teams literally in multiple countries, but Wrath of Kings (to my understanding) is nearly all internal/central HQ except for the contracted artwork and sculpts. So their personnel changes/issues at HQ actually has had an effect on WoK and Dark Age stuff.

Of note, however, is that they just had a 2-player starter come out for WoK and have made store displays and store demo standees available, so they're just now making the push into retail now that the dust has settled from the original KS.

CMON strikes me as a patient company when it comes to these things; for some people I understand the frustration that makes them feel, but for me personally my every day life is very busy so I'm actually appreciative of a release schedule I can keep up with easily.

**usernamesareannoying**

Thanks pug.
I don't mind show releases at all its just the lack of communication that I don't care for. The way things are now it looks like the game is dead.
Guess I'll be patient and hope for a big payoff in the end

**Alpharius**

Those are a lot of new releases for a 'dead game'!

All kidding aside, and after reading Pug's comments above, I just think this is on the same slow release schedule that Dark Age is on, unfortunately.

But I seriously want just about everything they previewed at Adepticon for Hadross and Teknes - and I don't even collect Hadross.

Yet!

**usernamesareannoying**

I hear you alpharius.
im a teknes guy and am loving what im seeing.
it was a hard choice going teknes over nasier and now it looks like its getting even harder to stay that way.

I wish that theyd do an art book or something.
im jonesing for some official terrain ideas.

**scifind**

Following this thread, I hope I can help with a couple of points.

The new units are going to retail, there are no plans for future Kickstarters.

Some of the new units will be on general retail release on the 26th April. But I wouldn't be supprised if they started finding themselves on shop shelves any time in the next couple of weeks.

These are:
NASIER- ARKIZAN GREATWING BOX
NASIER- PELEGARTH BRUTES BOX
TEKNES- WARSMITHS BOX
TEKNES- WAR STOMPER BOX
GORITSI- CHARACTER BOX #3
--And the 2 player starter set.

**Hulksmash**

So I kept all but Hadross from the Kickstarter for myself. I'm still happy with that decision as I don't love any of the new models except for may the shell dudes.

Out of the 4 I kept Teknes and Shael-Han became my favorites so I'm glad to see one currently getting love. Also I LOVE all the new Teknes models. I'll be keeping an eye out for MM to get them in stock so I can grab a box of each new unit for my armies.

The display was very impressive and quite nice. I do so love WoK and hope it gets bigger and bigger.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Nasier are still my favorite.

Oh hell, who am I kidding, I pretty much liked something from just about every faction.

Hope we do see some Shael Han as well. I thought they were the weakest of the factions in terms of designs. The bathrobes just didn't do it for me.

**Hulksmash**

While I don't love the dragon legion models I do like them enough to overlook it because I love the big guys, characters, and specialists. Also the way they play.

Granted, with flying pigs Teknes may supplant them as my primary force. Especially once they add in the Warsmiths.

Mr. Black showed a buddy and me some really awesome renders of upcoming Shael Han stuff - an elephant, a snake, a bear (all anthropomorphized.) It was all really incredible looking and made me wish I hadn't sold off my Shael Han.

**highlord tamburlaine**

That is some tortuous teasing there my friend.

New Wrath of Kings is probably my most eagerly awaited releases besides seeing what Massive Darkness brings to the table. I have really been wanting to buy some new stuff after going whole hog in the Kickstarter, selling off stuff, and inevitably buying it back again as I impatiently await new models!

**Hulksmash**

I really, really love wrath of kings. I'm really looking forward to the new teknes and shael-Han stuff.

**cincydooley**

If one was to make a guess....I'd wager one could expect each faction to get between 4 to 6 new boxes with Book 2.

If one were to guess...

One could also probably expect it all going straight to retail, with future support focused on narrative campaign and league play...if one were to be in the business of expecting things.

All pure speculation, of course.

**Alpharius**

That's the kind of speculation I can get behind!

Also, seriously, where are the preview pics from Adepticon already?!?

**Hulksmash**

Wow, that's a pretty large follow-up. It's going to essentially double the range of every force. I'm excited but I also might actually sell off my Nasier and Goritsi because I think I'm going to want to only focus on Shael-Han and Teknes.

**scifind**

CMON mentioned a further 25 releases (on top of the 5 just released) due in the near future

**highlord tamburlaine**

Is there anywhere we can even get the new stuff?

I keep desperately searching all the usual spots. So far NOTHING.

CMON why you don't want my money? I've been chomping at the bit on this one!

25 more items? Jeez! C'mon CMON, make with the minis!

**Hulksmash**

They had some of them on sale at Adepticon so I'm assuming they'll be available any day now.

I know i'm hoping for the same thing!

**MasterSlowPoke**

That's pretty much all it says, nothing else new.

I believe official launch date of the new stuff is the 16th April, so only a couple of days away. Though looking at other groups some stock is getting through now.

I'm not sure what that means!

Do you mean existing 'regular' stock is being sent out to places, or the New Stuff?

**ecurtz**

A couple of these were posted 20 or so pages back, but I missed them at the time and there are a lot more here that weren't posted.

New stuff now available!

http://cmon.com/wok-april-releases/

The battle for the Ancient Kingdom continues in Wrath of Kings as the five Houses of Arikania struggle to be the one that guides the future. In order to secure their place in history, Houses are bringing new forces to the battlefield. At your FLGS now are five new Boxes, including: House Nasier’s Pelegarth Brutes Box and Arkazan Greatwing Box; House Teknes’ Warsmith Box and War Stompers Box; and House Goritsi’s Character Box 3.

The House Nasier Pelegarth Brutes Box includes 2 Brute Wardens and 6 Pelegarth Brutes. The Brutes are a mighty addition to your army, cleaving through your opponent’s armor, flesh and bone with equal ease.

MSRP $34.99

The Arkazan Greatwing Box includes 2 Arkazan Greatwings for your Nasier force. This unit specializes in hunting down and slaying high Resilience targets, all the while casting aside lesser foes that would stand in its way. You’re really going to want the Greatwings on your side of the table.

MSRP $24.99

The House Teknes Warsmith Box contains 1 Warsmith Captain and 8 Warsmith. These women are brilliant soldiers and combat engineers that are more than capable of holding the line alongside their fellow Linemen and Union Troops. Alone, a Warsmith can use her skills to repair or bolster line units, while an entire unit can, effectively, decimate an enemy’s line.

MSRP $34.99

The War Stompes Box contains 2 War Stompers. Capable of crossing a battlefield at great speed, the War Stompers are armed with a variety of technomatic shields and power generators and give House Teknes an extra edge in a variety of situations.

MSRP $19.99

The House Goritsi Character Box 3 contains 1 Kozakar the Packmaster and 1 Gorbal the Rampager! Kozakar is a one “man” army capable of hunting down the largest prey with his pack of vildertosks. And Gorbal is an unstoppable monster that has embraced his outcast state and should be at the forefront of any Goritsi army.

MSRP $34.99

All of these new additions to Wrath of Kings are available at your local retailer and will be coming to the CoolMiniOrNot web store soon.
