Warlord Games has been working away on something awesome in the background for lovers of Fantasy and 2000AD. The Sláine Miniatures Game arrives for pre-order this Friday, allowing you to dive into this wild world as heroes and villains.

Kiss My Axe! Starter Set // Warlord Games

The Sláine Miniatures Game has been designed by Andy Chambers, Roger Gerrish & Gav Thorpe and whilst it has similarities to Warlord's previous 2000AD games, the mechanics have been tweaked and updated for a sword and sorcery style affair where magic gets flung around rather than bullets.

The Kiss My Axe! Starter Set for the game comes with Sláine Mac Roth as well as Sláine when he has been embraced by the Warp Spasm! You also get Nest, Ukko The Dwarf, Slough Throt and three Skull Swords using sword and shield.

There are also some neat terrain elements like two Celtic Huts, Fences and a Weirdstone with Drune Priest. You also get everything you need to play including a rulebook, quick-start guide, gaming tokens, cards and dice.

This looks like a pretty neat way to get your 2000AD Sláine fix. Dive in and start hacking apart enemies at your leisure.

More Sláine Miniatures Game Boxed Sets!

As well as the Kiss My Axe! Starter Set, the team at Warlord Games are also working on warband sets and hero sets for a range of factions from throughout the world of Sláine. For example, You'll be able to pick up the Earth Tribe.

These wild warriors, who are looking particularly awesome I must say, can then be combined with some of the Earth Tribe Heroes they have been working on.

This includes the likes of Queen Niamh, Mongan Axehead, King Rudraige (with Silver Sword Of The Moon) and King Gann (with Flaming Spear Of The Sun). Again, some very characterful miniatures that match up nicely with the comic art of this particular universe.

Maybe you prefer coming down on the side of the Drune? Well, you can check out this warband that serves Crom Cruach.

They also don't mind allying themselves with Fomorians, Dark Elves and Demons so they're not a particularly nice lot! Again, some great miniatures for you to battle against (or with!) on the tabletop. You can also get your hands on a set of Drune Heroes too...

The Drune heroes include The Lord Weird Slough Feg, Medb, Megrim and Robym The Dwarf. I really like the fellow with the antlers! I imagine this is going to be a range that is picked up by collectors as much as it is wargamers.

If you want to go fully down the path of evil then you could also look at picking up some Fomorians!

Rising from the seas, these are some of the most deadly threats to the land. Only Sláine and his companions will be able to put them back into the depths, probably with the aid of his axe rather than careful negotiations.

You'll also be able to pick up the impressive Balor Of The Evil Eye who comes ready to scare everyone into submission.

All of these miniatures are going to be available in the Warlord Resin they've been using for a number of their games and ranges. I would imagine that we'll see this expand slowly as well with different personalities, monsters and more making the cut.

Are you going to be diving in and playing the Sláine Miniatures Game?
