Mantic Release Their Dwarf Warband For Kings Of War Vanguard
December 14, 2018 by brennon
Mantic Games has been working away on the new Dwarf Warband Set for Kings Of War Vanguard featuring a whole bunch of new sculpts alongside the old for use in their new skirmish game.
The set features three new miniatures that you can see above, a Sergeant, Ranger and Ironclad. You can immediately see a massive step up in quality from those rather old sculpts and hopefully folks will do some tinkering and drop some alternatives in to change them out in the future.
As you might imagine, as a proper Warband Set, you will get all of the miniatures you need to make your skirmishing force but all of the cards that you need to. So, you won't be scouting around elsewhere to find out the rules for them.
A whole bunch of additional Dwarfs have been added into the mix over on their webstore as well so if you want to expand upon the collection you can do in the future. I would particularly like to expand upon the collection with the Dwarf Reinforcement Pack which gives you some of the rank and file figures.
As you might have noticed they also added a female Dwarf into the mix too!
She looks awesome and immediately has me thinking of a cool role-playing character. Dwarf Rangers and Hunters have always caught my attention, those that range above the mountain halls of their brothers and sisters, watching for armies on the warpath.
Fiery Fellows
As well as the Dwarves there are plenty of additional allies being thrown into the mix for folks playing Kings Of War Vanguard. For example, here is Firebrand.
If you ever wanted to play as a Salamander pirate then...well, here is your chance! I think the model is looking great and it's awesome that Mantic Games have been expanding on the world with some of these more characterful sculpts that go beyond the rank and file.
What do you think of the new Kings Of War Vanguard releases?

where is the beard on the female one?
They could work well as a personal guard for the commander or King
I dont know why, but these just don’t do it for me. I can’t put my finger on it.
Paintjob….mantic have some people who can do a fantastic paintjob, look at some of the other vanguard miniatures.
I think they fail to realise that a good sculpt can look terrible when badly painted.
They should either use thier best team of painters when using a miniature to advertise or not paint them at all.
Agreed, and sometimes the colour palate they use on their photographed minis just doesn’t work
Those look really good.
I like the three new characters but it’s a shame they didn’t manage to remaster the plastic Dwarfs, they’re really letting that box down when you compare it to the Baileans, Northern Alliance, Abyssals and Night Stalkers.
I have just preordered this starter pack..(adding more to the must paint now list). Love the dwarf ranger in particular. She is a sexy beast.
Take 5…
Love the new dwarves. As for the salamander, they should’ve skip the hat, it doesn’t do anything for me…
