Kings of War: Neue Preorder
Mantic haben Neuheiten für die Trident Realms im Angebot.
Behold the Majesty of the Trident King!
Towering monarchs of the deep, the Trident Kings pass judgement on all within their oceanic domains. When one of these mysterious kings marches to war, the seas roil and swell, and storm clouds gather to bear witness to their might. They now rise from the depths in answer to the Xirkaali threat!
Pre-order now to harness the power of the oceans.Trident King – €45.00
The Trident Kings tower over their subjects, passing judgement from their thrones on all within their domain. The very seas roll with unforeseen tides when one of these huge monarchs rouses itself to battle, with storms whipping themselves into frenzy at the mere suggestion of their passing. Only three of these mighty beings are known to exist at this time, one for each of the great kingdoms.
Depth Horror Regiment – €40.00
The majority of surface dwellers who encounter the denizens of the Trident Realm are mostly familiar with the naiads, but these humanoid warriors are but a hint of the strangeness lurking in the depths of the ocean. When the Trident Realm goes to war, they do so alongside many great monsters of the seabed – such as Depth Horrors.
It is said that these powerful creatures may be found in regions such as the kingdom of Myrrhimm. Here, watchtowers line either side of an enormously deep trench, their bioluminescent beacons pulsating should any trespasser draw near. And of course, should any unwanted being venture into the kingdom itself, the hulking Depth Horrors will be waiting to strike without compassion from the inky darkness…
Placoderm Regiment – €40.00
Placoderms are the toughest of the Neriticans, being large and strong, and plated in thick scales that are almost impervious to blades. They are a war-like species, who organise themselves into warrior guilds, protecting the Trident Realm from any threat. Even in times of peace, they organise patrols relentlessly, always drilled, so that when the call to arms comes, every placoderm is ready to answer it. Predatory and bloodthirsty, the placoderms view all lesser forms of life as theirs to hunt.
Where their naiad cousins are swift and graceful, placoderms are steadfast and hardy. They rarely have numbers on their side, and so tend to adopt solid formations in battle, armed with huge spears and razorswords, and fighting with such grim efficiency as to crush even the strongest foe.
Trident Realm War Engines – €50.00
Ofttimes, the enemy will field a creature or engine of war that needs to be brought down efficiently. Originally designed to stave off the biggest ocean wyrms, the Leviathan’s Bane is effective against any land creature. The Riverguard have since evolved a similar weapon of their own, mounted on the back of a fearsome Dambuster for exceptional mobility.
Trident Realm Kraken – €52.50
The terrifying monster known as the Kraken forms the basis of many myths and legends that strike fear into the seafaring folk of all of the races of the world. When disturbed and angered, the biggest specimens can wrap themselves around the hull of even the largest warships and crush them into nothing but matchwood and flotsam.
Trident Realm Coral Giant – €65.00
This harnessing of the sea’s elemental power can sometimes result in the creation of a truly terrible being – the coral giant. Knitted together from the living creatures of the sea, these massive beasts drag themselves to the shore, gathering strength and regenerating even the most grievous wounds as they fight. Such an embodiment of nature’s wrath has rarely been seen on Pannithor, but typifies the ferocity and resolve of the Neriticans.

Die gefallen mir doch ganz gut. Ich gehöre anscheinend zu den wenigen Menschen, die den Mantic-Style sympathisch findet.
Stimmt schon, zumindest im deutschsprachigen Raum hört man selten online lobende Worte aber ich denke am Ende eine Frage des Geschmacks und der Erwartungshaltung. Hört man die Engländer halten das viele für ein schnuckeliges und vor allem best value Spiel mit vernünftigen Regeln und Minis die funktionieren, nicht so überladen sind und vergleichsweise bezahlbar bleiben. 🤷♂️
Für Mantic Verhältnisse recht gut.
Nur der Coral Giant gefällt mir überhaupt nicht. Wieder mal verwaschene Details und sehr plump.
Einfach nur nervig, dass man sich bei Mantic weigert Gussrahmen zu zeigen. Wenn man sich die Bilder anguckt, muss man davon ausgehen, dass die Depth Horror nur die 3 Posen und Ausrüstungsoptionen und die Placoderm nur den Champion als Kommandooption haben. Ansonsten sind die echt brauchbar, vor allem die Depth Horrors.
Der Coral Giant ist easy die schlechteste Minis des Jahres.
Dafür braucht es keinen Blick auf die Gussrahmen.
Du kannst zu 100% davon ausgehen, dass es genau so ist, wie du es beschreibst.
Kommandoabteilungen werden bei KoW regeltechnisch nicht benötigt und sind bei allen neueren Modellen und Rahmen nicht mehr dabei. (Bei der ersten bzw. 2.Edition gab es die noch)
Und was die 3 Heavy Infantrymodelle anbelangt wird auch das kein Bausatz sein, bei dem du die Bauteile groß variieren kannst. Ausgehend von meiner Erfahrung mit 4 Armeen, werden genau diese 3 Modelle gebaut werden können.
