A New Undead Warband Haunts Kings Of War: Vanguard
August 19, 2019 by brennon
The Undead are shuffling back into the world of Mantica and the realm of Pannithor with the introduction of a new warband for Kings Of War: Vanguard by Mantic Games.
The new warband features some familiar faces in terms of the zombies, skeletons and ghouls but you also get a new miniature leading the way. The Arkosaur Necromancer is looking very, very good indeed and an awesome new addition to the mix. I love the idea that it's not just old humans who end up summoning the dead!
Summon Reinforcements
As well as that core warband there to get you started, the team at Mantic has also been working on some additional options for you to look at too. We have the Undead Warband Booster for example with that awesome Vampire model in the mix and the epic Crypt Gouger. I love that model so much!
This can then be developed further with the introduction of the Undead Reinforcement Pack which gives you two armoured zombies to throw into the front lines and also the skeleton archer/crossbowman.
This should help you create a really diverse set of undead fiends to throw at your friends. Unlike other armies they really have focused on making it look like the Undead have been drawn from lots of different places too, which is good to see in a Fantasy world.
You can then top things off with the introduction of the monstrous Goreblight!
As the fluff says, sometimes Necromantic experiments go wrong. Well, why waste good bodies? This is what happens when a Necromancer mixes together all of those failed creations, a writhing mass of muscle, bone and anger. Wonderfully gory!
What do you make of the new Undead Warband for Vanguard?

Those look really good.
That green dude in the lower middle of the top picture… looks like a beefed up Plankton from Spongebob Squarepants XD
…well, I’m never going to unsee that now.
Looks amazing. Halfing vampire? Yes please!
How does he bite anyone’s neck? Or does he just make do with biting their ass?
Ankle biter.
Fantastic looking models.
Great models but not the best paint job for promotional material
Love them and the addition of an ankle biting halfling vampire with zombie orcs is a fantastic move. More undead that aren’t sculpted as humans is excellent, it’s a fantasy world so why wouldn’t we see fantasy races swelling the damned ranks of the undead
Would be brilliant for Frostgrave. Also have a neat DnD give about them.
I have been “obsessive/compulsively” being collecting all the vanguard starters and …. **sigh** This isn’t going to be any different…. and I really don’t even like undead much …… **deeper sigh**
