Mantic’s Mighty Giant Stomps Ahead Of Their Vanguard Pre-Orders
September 13, 2018 by dracs
Mantic Games' fantasy skirmish game Kings of War: Vanguard is heading up for pre-order on September 17th and stomping ahead of them we get to see their fully painted new giant.
The giant, painted here by Studio Giraldez, stands at a massive 18cm in height, towering over even Mantic's dragon.
A limited number of the Giant itself will be going up for pre-order on Monday.
While Vanguard is a skirmish game, I love the idea of bringing something this large into it. You can build an entire scenario around it, your warband struggling together to bring this colossal brute down. Success could help the following full-scale battle significantly. Failure could mean you have a giant problem to deal with.
Did you get in on the Kings of War: Vanguard Kickstarter?

ordered two of these, along with the resin upgrade set for the ice giant for the northern varangrrrrr warband. A stunning bit of kit from Mantic, I can’t wait for the Vanguard minis to arrive the game looks like it’s a lot of fun and should bridge the gap to Kings of War nicely.
Pretty sure that I saw one of these on display at Salute. Looked pretty cool.
Can’t wait for my Vanguard stuff too!
I only went for the one in the Giant Pledge and did not go for the frost upgrade…
I just checked and at 18cm, Mantic’s giant is 10 cm taller than my Reaper Bones one (a frost giant)!
Most of Mantic’s monsters have been pretty awful, that dragon for example, but this looks ok.
Those look amazing.
That’s a fabulous looking figure to see on the table.
Can’t wait to get mine ….*runs around in a circle on the spot*. Actually I am really looking forward to Vangauard in general , but that giant … *swoons
Are you getting the limited ice elemental for the northern alliance? I love how he looks
My oath matie. 😀 In fact not half an hour ago I was staring at the picture Mantic releasedand working out how I was going to paint him ….. good times 😀 …. and it seems to be going to be delivered a month early too
well I paid for the shiny see through one, so he will get some edge highlighting in white and that will be it, the regular grey resin one will join the boxes of I shall get to you some day 😉
Nice.
