Mantic: Kings of War 3rd Edition – Bring on the Mighty-Mighty Titans
These massive minis are ready to take to the battlefileds of Pannithor.
The new edition includes a new rulebook, supplements, army lists, and new forces and monsters! This October Pannithor is getting a massive expansion with the third edition of Kings of War. The 380-page rulebook digs deeper into the lore, offers new army lists for 14 factions, and includes updated core rules. Thanks to its growing fan base this edition will not be launched with a Kickstarter – instead, it will be available on Mantic’s webstore and in retailers from day one.
New monsters were promised – and they have arrived! Two of the Titans Mantic is sharing were painted by Studio Giraldez – it just shows how great these sculpts are and how much hobby potential is there. Let’s take a a closer look…
Let’s start with one of the biggest: the Frost Giant. If you were smart enough to jump on the Vanguard Kickstarter, there’s a chance you’ll have this lumbering, angry mass in your collection already. Standing 18cm (7 inches) tall, this is a part plastic and resin kit to turn the standard plastic giant into a chilly beast. You might be able to guess what army this will be part of – but just in case, we’re happy to announce the Frost Giant will be joining the ranks of the Northern Alliance.
The Frost Giant isn’t the only Titan the Northern Alliance can add to their army. The Lord on Chimera is a spectacular monster that’s likely to strike fear into even the toughest of foes. A fearsome mix of dragon, goat and Frostfang, the Chimera isn’t a Titan to be messed with. For those interested, this will be a resin kit.
The Kraken wakes! We’ve been talking about the Kraken for a while and with Third Edition it’s finally getting a release. You can add the Kraken to your Trident Realm army… but it probably wouldn’t look out of place as an alternate Terror for all you Nightstalker fans out there. The Kraken is a plastic and resin kit.
Basileans rejoice, the Phoenix is flying into view. The Phoenix has been in the Basilean army list for a while and we’re delighted to bring it to the tabletop.
Last, but certainly not least, we’ve got the Goblin Slasher. Dragged from its cave with a sharpstick thrower clumsily strapped to its back, it’s no wonder the Slasher looks so pissed off. Then again, the goblins look pretty pleased with themselves.
This is the only the start! There will be more Titans (including something called a Hellfane) and more in the new edition. Several of these will be available with the initial book release, the rest will arrive this winter.
- Frost Giant and Chimera – October
- Kraken, Phoenix and Goblin Slasher – December
