Exclusive Look At Dwarf King’s Quest Dungeon Tiles!
July 18, 2014 by brennon
Master Mantic has sent scouts into the deepest depths of the mountain to pave the way for the Dwarf King's Quest, another entry in the mighty Dungeon Sagas. See what wondrous sights they witnessed down within the mountain halls.
In other words - check out this exclusive look at these tiles for the game!
First up we have a look at some tiles that might appear a little familiar to you. They look like they're based on the old tiles you would have seen in Dwarf King's Hold but they've been spruced up to make them look a lot more dynamic and indeed three dimensional (even though they're not of course!). It has a great semi-realistic look to it that makes you think you're looking down on a video game instead.
As well as the tiles we've seen in the past we have some new ones that include the Banshee Boss Room (yes you heard right, a boss room for a banshee!). The Banshee is called Elshara and will no doubt be screaming her way around the dungeon looking to frighten the heroes into leaving.
Below that we have a neat outdoors tile which shows a dried up lake or river section with a small harbour area for trading out of the Dwarf King's Hold I assume. When it comes to exactly what the tiles are made of if you're a fan of Descent then you'll be pleased to know they are on some very sturdy tick card. Nice and durable.
Earlier in the week we also looked at two of the sketches for the new heroes in Dwarf King's Quest. Orlaf and Madriga both look brilliant and I love that they've taken a bit of the Diablo-esque Barbarian into account when making Orlaf. Madriga is of course awesome too but she's an Elf and I think what we really want to see is the Dwarf hero right?
While all the Mantic Kickstarters have been good I think this is the one that might get the most of my attention. I love Fantasy and I love dungeon crawlers so I think this deserves a lot of anticipation!
Can't wait for this one Mantic!

…And this is exactly why I invested in all those Hirst Arts floor tile molds all those years ago. Shall be watching with interest.
very exciting
I’m excited! I love the elf, but then again I have always loved elves.
Elf lover!
Really like the art, they look very similar to Path of Exile, kinda realistic and dark but not that over the top horror.
Ok I am now quite excited about this, looks like I can still use all my current DKH (1,2+3) stuff for this.
might have to stock up on more of these in anticiption

I’m ready Ronnie start the Kick Starter already!
Gathered up most of the leaked info in this thread over at the official Mantic forums: http://forum.manticblog.com/showthread.php?8233-DKH-News-and-Rumors-from-Open-Day-2014
I will attempt to get Ronnie to spill more at GenCon (Aug. 14) but I am thinking the KS will already have started by then.
DKH was fun. Now they’ve learned some lessons and got the benefit of KS, I’m really looking forward to seeing what Jake and Mantic can do this time around!
What size are squares on these tiles?
