Sculpting Updates Arrive For Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5 Project
May 31, 2017 by brennon
The world of Kingdom Death: Monster is coming back to the tabletop once again with its 1.5 Edition and that means new sculpts, new horrors and of course some fantastic characters too. Here's a look at some of the latest models coming to life for this world of horror...
First off we just had to show you this fantastic monster that is disgusting and beautiful at the same time. The Oblivion Mosquito above is a mass of spindly limbs and grasping hands, mixed with that bulbous base that adds to the creep factor even more.
I think the moth-like antennae are great and help act as almost a crown to this strange creation.
Apotheosis Comes
At the pinnacle of their design and power, we also have the Apotheosis, a man at the peak of his physical power. You can see how they have really drawn on anime influences here with this model; he'd so be the main bad guy in some story or other.
This is then matched with the Pin-Up version of the Apotheosis if you prefer that style instead.
They are dabbled with a couple of variants it seems with a few head options to give her a mask. While the Pin-Up range isn't particularly for me I think they've done a great job expanding on this range for collectors and hobbyists.
Heroes Or Villains?
Last but not least we take a look at some of the other characters coming to life for Kingdom Death and begin with Lantern Year Three Candy & Cola here.
She looks like she's a bit more of a veteran of the darkness now, scarred and battered as she is. However, despite that, she still appears to be soldiering on with her faithful pet by her side.
Maybe she'll also run into the Leyline Walker on her travels?
It looks like this particular female character might have taken a few cues from the caterpillar in Alice In Wonderland. I don't think smoking away like that is going to help your mind when you're off traversing the weirdness of Kingdom Death: Monster.
What do you make of the new sculpts and did you back the 1.5 Edition?

Just a few years to wait. If my settle mentioned lasts that long
Those are looking really good.
the oblivion mosquito is yet another reason why kingdom death monster is the most unbelievable and exciting thing to ever happen in table top. imaginative, beautiful, terrifying and grotesque. just light years ahead of anything else, ever.
Time and again KD:M produces miniatures that manage to encapsulate opposing emotional dynamics and more often than not multiple opposing dynamics. stunning stunning work.
the pipes ether the only way your getting through kingdom death or the worst case of paranoia imaginably.
Kingdom Death’s monster miniatures have often combined some of the most original concepts with some of the best talented sculpting around.
I’ve got a Spidicules on my table right now, and I’m really impressed with it.
The odd thing about Kingdom Death is that they got a top tier rules set to go along with the minis (it is both original and extremely good).
It isn’t easy to get rules or minis that are this good/unique, and Kingdom Death has them both together in spades.
That thing really does look scary but appealing at the same time.
At the time I probably stretched my budget further than I expected backing KDM 1.5 but I don’t regret it one bit. The only regret I have is not being richer so that I could pick up expansions like the Oblivion Mosquito that I had to pass on. Here’s to hoping Poots reopens the PM before wave 4 and allows us to grab as much goodness as possible. I am looking forward to seeing the Honeycomb Weaver sculpt I was very close to picking that up but I was a little put off by how much the huge tongue looked… Read more »
Have you played Kingdom Death yet?
I skipped on the first kickstarter, but bought the game at retail after playing with some friends who got into the kickstarter.
Brilliant game. I did have to pick up some expansions at Ebay prices- but I honestly still feel like they were worth it. Great stuff.
(I do still need to pick up a Lonely Tree, though).
