Unboxing: Kings Of Vanguard – Abyssal Dwarf Warband Booster | Mantic Games

We've got the Abyssal Dwarf Warband Booster for Kings Of War Vanguard and we're going to tear into that box!
Gerry is in the studio to talk in detail about this booster set for Kings of War Vanguard. As a bonus, he's also got some ratkin to unbox too! The models are incredible in detail with varying amounts of cleanup for each. The hexcaster is notable for the flying rune above the model that needs to be connected via a flyer stand.

Additionally, detail is still detail, even if you put it in quotes. It can be very easily painted with washes and drybrushing. I’ve even say that these were easier to paint than the undead skeletons because they have fewer textures to worry about.
Let’s say I’m a disappointed customer who had great hopes when Mantic first got popular. I own some of their products and none of them have really made me feel any good. Style is subjective, I find Mantic’s quality of design and production not good enough for modern miniatures and the character of their miniatures not good enough for nostalgic old school miniatures. So where are they? I don’t know. I thought my thoughts about the details was clear enough in previous post: unnecessary. But I will add that they make the miniatures look too busy and messy.
