Mantic Show Off More Art & Renders For Kings Of War: Vanguard
October 19, 2017 by brennon
Mantic Games are diving into the world of Kings Of War: Vanguard with some new artwork and renders for their Nightstalkers as well.
Here, for example, we have The Butcher in all his glory, cleaver in hand. This particular creature popped up as the guys from Mantic were discussing the use of dice in their game, taking a cue from The Walking Dead: All Out War.
This also plays into some renders that popped up of the other Nightstalker models.
This creature is looking like quite the terror, maybe something dragged up from the pits of the Abyss. I think it reminds me of the strange monsters from Dante's Inferno, the video game.
You can see some more angles of the creature above giving you an idea of the kind of monsters you're likely to see popping up in Vanguard.
As well as the Nightstalkers we also have news on both Character Cards and how Fatigue works in the game. It seems like this is going to be a nice focused experience with plenty of cool skirmish elements.
Fatigue, for example, uses some of the risk and reward aspects of gameplay that we like seeing. You can use Fatigue to activate your abilities and get a few more actions out of a character in order to maybe create a bit of a hero moment on the tabletop.
A rundown of the statistics for the characters also popped up.
Make sure to delve into the article HERE which gives you a rundown of how this all works for the individual characters.
What do you think of Vanguard now you know a little more?

Nightstalkers are looking good, real good … I hope the new Basileans are as well …. I am not going to repeat my opinion of the Men-at -arms box, Mantic has done great stuff since then .
I am sort of looking forward to seeing this
There is a Basileans paladin render out there. I shall supply Ben with it in the morning if it’s not appeared before then
Thanks Gerry that’d be great to see
that is a great looking beast.
Finally we get sooooo much more John , are ya feelin it ? John is the reason i am a backstager .
So is John the big black one with the axe or the two headed dog thingie ????? …….. surely not the goblin??
XD
I love the look of that character card. It’s almost like Mantic finally hired a graphic designer rather than farming it out to Cynthia’s son who ‘knows a bit about computers and stuff’.
The axe seems kind of redundant on the Butcher, as he looks lethal enough on his own without it. It’s kind of like putting a weapon in the hand of a creature from the Aliens movie franchise.
Can’t wait to see the real sculpt of him though.
