Head To Clash Of Kings To See The Future Of Kings Of War
February 7, 2013 by brennon
Mantic Games are holding a big Kings of War Tournament that kicks off this Saturday (February 9th 2013) in Stockport. If you're heading to that please let us know as it would be great to here how it went for you.
But, alongside wargaming they will also be previewing the future of Kings of War...
Above you can see one of the big previews for the Celestials coming to Kings of War. It certainly is a cut above the rest when it comes to detail and style and if the miniature actually turns out looking like this the future is looking bright.
Good luck to all heading to Clash of Kings!
What do you think of this angelic warrior?

Feel like I should like but somehow merely indifferent.
The ethereal/fiery wings are poorly done, though I really like the idea.
Am a tad bored with drapes dangling between the legs for warriors to get tangled up in and trip over during combat.
That looks more like ‘look mine touches the floor’ rather than a drape.
Also not a fan of the wings especially, but there’s potential in that render for sure, its certainly a leap ahead of previous kings of war ranges.
I like mantic, I can see clear progress in every new range, whether they are models that appeal to me or not.
With fiery phoenix wings, I’d have expected a better pose than just “standing and holding a staff”…
Stiff clothes, stiff pose…
Why does he have wings if he’s not able to soar ?
Oh no, not another tabard…the idea seems nice, the execution..well, it’s a render, so I can’t say anything about it, but so far, far from inspiring.
It technically is not a tabard
“Noun
A sleeveless jerkin consisting only of front and back pieces with a hole for the head.
A coarse garment of this kind as the outer dress of medieval peasants and clerics, or worn as a surcoat over armor.”
It is actually an unergonomic apron.
Seriously you imagine wearing one. It would be hopeless unless you stand like a Space Marine with your feet four feet apart. Try running like that!
I would not be comfortable as I am not used to having something long flapping around between my legs.
The kickstarter update lets you know that it is sculpted in likeness of Samantha Lee due to one of the Living legends Pledge.
Fantastic. So feminine…
I thought it was a guy.
Another victim of the “stiff CGI pose”…
But there are bound to be stiffs in CGI Romain.
They have to do autopsies on them so Grissom can catch the perp.
Oh… I see what you did, there… 🙂
I will say this. Thank God they finally are making designees that look original. The orient look for the human army is a change I like no matter what the render looks like. It’s about time they made their own path without trying to suck life from GW ranges.
A step in the right direction for Mantic with some of their own original sculpts. Few things im not keen on but impressed overall with this.
It’s definitely a good start. I like the concept of fiery wings, but I would like to see more definition. Without reading the description I thought the wings were just a billowing cape. Maybe add some bone structure to the wings with the feathers being the fire. Mantic has definitely improved greatly on the quality of their sculpts. I’m afraid there will be such a large disparity between the new sculpts and the old that it will look like the miniatures are from two different companies. I hope they go back and resculpt the elves and the dwarves so everything… Read more »
