Ronnie talks Twilight Kin plus Assassin Concept Art
January 25, 2012 by brennon
In a week all about Kings of War, Mantic are planning a few more reveals from both the Goblins and Twilight Kin. So let's check out the concept art for the Assassin below...
The assassin will be a blister pack metal miniature. If the Sorceress is anything to go by, it should be a pretty awesome model.
The rest of this week should yield more painted models for us to look at, including some painted Goblins. Don't forget to check out the video at the top for Ronnie's run down of the Twilight Kin so far.
Looking forwards to seeing more from the Twilight Kin?

Very tempted by these.
I know that mantics elves are probably some of the most polarising of their products but I was certainly a fan of the core of their design. I loved that they were actually very lithe and different from humans though I wasn’t a huge fan of the designs of some of their gear like the spears.
With the Twilight Kin I get that same general proper “elf-like” build but with weapons and armour that are far more to my personal taste.
I certainly took your viewpoint when I first started looking at Mantic models. I disliked the Elves, but once I got hold of them I started to enjoy their eldritch and alien feel – and they are pretty easy to paint too which helps lol.
Be really interesting to see how the Assassin turns out, hopefully with lots of movement and deadly artistry to it.

Yes… I agree ! I liked the feel and the poses of the Mantic elves, but wasn’t fond of the details (or lack thereof, on certain minis…)
The twilight kin may just be what “does it” for me, as for many people.

Gotta love Evil Elves! Definitely love the sorceress and the Assassin concept art; very promising range. If the Mantic witch-elf equivalents look anything like the assassin/sorceress, I’ll be buying them in bulk.
Sorry GW….to little too late on your Dark Elf range.
Mantic elves are great IMO,,, the shield bow issue thankfully is not an issue for these guys. If I do naughty elves I know which minis i shall buy
I was ambivalent on the elves but the January sale 50% off has changed my mind and started a new Sylvan Elf army. Mike De Franco on the Mantic forum has also posted a great tutorial for making quick and easy cloaks out of papiermâché which look good, fit the wood elf theme and give the models a little more heft. I plan to copy his idea shamelessly. 🙂
