Mantic Games Preview The Monstrous Nightstalker Shadowhulk
October 19, 2018 by brennon
Mantic Games has been previewing one of their monstrous new additions to the Kings Of War range, the Nightstalker Shadowhulk.
This particular creature is another of the interesting alternative options for their massive Giant, but with a bit of a twist. As you can see the Nighstalkers have got to it and their weird and magical mutations have warped across the model turning it into something else entirely.
Mantic are also getting Angel Giraldez to paint this up for them so watch this space for the finished version!
What do you make of this Nightstalker creature?

I can’t wait to get one, I would love to see the painted mini, but it turns out Studio Giraldez owns a bunny, and that bunny likes to nibble and it nibbled the Shadow Hulks head from the master cast for the studio paint job. So we’ll have to wait to see it in the flesh
Well thats 3 giants you’ll have ….. It is a shame there isn’t an abyssal themed one.
Just do what I plan to do… green stuff some wicked demon horns on the regular giant.
Not sure about a tail yet, but most likely will be doing that as well.
Kit bashing should always be your first thoughts when seeing a new miniature. Lol.
true but there are options for the plastic one, so potentially 4……
😀
…… and in unrelated news ….. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH VANGAURD KICKSTARTER HAS ARRIVED !!!!!! Beautifully packed Mantic, everthing was organised togeter in baggies and I didn’t have to do the “post-Kickstarter sprue sort” thank you very much. I have almost finished painting the dwarf unitbI have been beta testing with. ( I am sort of toszing up whether to do a project about it and the kickstarter stuff as I have been attempting to make models/units which are easily usable in both Vanguard and Kings of War . There is nothing revolutionary in what I am doing but I am putting more… Read more »
I’m still waiting on mine. If I hadn’t been so greedy know ordering extra boxes and weird amounts of add ons for KoW I would probably have had it by now. Start a project and photograph them up close so I can sniff the screen for the new smell 🙂
I’m a bit on the fence about the Nightstalkers. I feel like they would fit much better into their Warpath universe. I much prefer their Abyssals range
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what happened actually.
I can see them fleshing things out for KoW, and then doing a cross over with warpath/deadzone.
Monsters from Dimension X…. sounds awesome.
I’m not convinced by a crossover, not since they just released the Nameless for Warpath/Deadzone.
Wow.
I really like the nighthaunts. Although they are 3rd on my list to be painted after the Basileans (which are finally decent .. huzzah) and the Northern Alliance, I will eventually be adding one of these.
Hmmm dunno, the body and feet make this look like a giant with a rubber Halloween mask on, will have to see a painted version but looking at the render, I think they’ve gone over the top with the head.
Agree about the feet. Not a match for all the gnarly bits above the waist. Also, I’d like to see a more dynamic pose.
That looks really good.
Well played Manitc. He looks ace.
I’m not a super fan of the Nightstalkers but, since i got them in my pledge, i’ll see what i can do with them… At the very least, they’ll do just fine in my games of D&D!
