As we are fast approaching the release of our fantastic new Zombie miniatures what better way to celebrate than by not only releasing the Zombie Regiment and Zombie Horde boxed-set, but creating a brand new Army Deal (or three)!
Malak’s Endless Hordes is a great way to start your own undead army, or to expand your current force. Within this set you get: 40 Skeletons, 40 Revenants, 40 Ghouls, 60 Zombies, 2 Balefire Catapults. That is an incredible 190 figures! This means you get a FREE Undead Death King’s Cabal, and a bit more discount on top! Add a bag and free shipping – and it’s party time!
If undead are not for you, don’t worry, we have also decided to release a new Dwarf and Elven Army Deal. When we say Big Games with big armies we mean it!
Baldr’s Armoured Battalion contains: 100 Ironclad Dwarven warriors, 40 Ironwatch, 4 Warmachines, 10 Berserkers and a FREE Dwarf King’s War Council, and then some. With over 160 figures, and this weekend free shipping and a free bag – it’s hammer time!
Lord Eldrin’s Personal Guard contains: 40 Spearmen, 40 Bowmen, 20 Scouts, 20 Sea Guard, 10 Palace Guard, 5 Stormwind Cavalry, 2 Warmachines and a FREE Elves King’s Court. Again this set contains an amazing 145 figures, including a cavalry unit with full command!

So Kings of War fever continues in force culminating last night in the greatest battle the world has ever seen – the Battle of the Interns!
Ok, so not that great, but after Chris’ thumping at Maelstrom’s fantasy tournament a few months back we thought we’d give him a chance to redeem himself against our new intern, knowing he wouldn’t let us down…
… how wrong we were!
Chris lost his first game of KoW to Josh, Rankings HQ number 1 40K player and generally all-round beardy power gamer.

Wonder how this turned out...
Of course, this doesn’t compare to Ronnie’s epic record of 2 epic losses, but still, it’s character building ain’t it?
After their first taste of the game both guys are now adding new units to their armies – Josh is adding more Revenants to his horde and both players are eagerly looking forward to the new army deals that are being put up on the website at the end of the week. With even greater value and lots of cool stuff in them (including the Zombies!!!), keep your eye of the blog and the newsletter for all the latest goss! Until then, why not check out what units you could add to your existing armies and let’s get preparing for the public beta.
Until then, I’m off to try and knock the interns down a peg or two – until tomorrow!

We at Mantic Games were so excited last night!
Alessio Cavatore dropped in to show us the first draft version of our up and coming rules set. We just had to play!
Ronnie and Mat played the first ever Kings of War game, and both enjoyed it immensely. The rules are very much still in the Alpha testing stage, but the rules flowed well leading to an exciting, tense game, with Mat emerging victorious, and Ronnie bitter in defeat.
Here are a few pictures taken during the game:


The beta rules will be availble for free download soon!
So keep watching the blog and newsletter for all of the updates.

We’re feeling pretty good at Mantic Towers at the moment but it still feels like something is missing. The sensible thing to do seemed to be to have a management meeting…

I think that’s a sufficient way to start today’s blog post!
This piece of artwork, again created by Stef Kopinski, showcases the full artwork for the Dwarf army (or a proportion of the army at least) at war. We’re sure the many eagled eyed viewers we have will be scouring this artwork for hours because the detail that Stef has got into it is incredible – even better than the Undead we think! In fact, we’re so proud of it, we’ve even put it up as a downloadable backdrop for your computer!
Of course, wouldn’t it be nice to have an army as nice as the one in the art?
Well, you can! Today, with the Dwarf Ironclads leaving the dungeon’s of Mantic Towers next Friday, we’ve put up pre-orders for not only the Dwarf Ironwatch, but also the Dwarf Warhost. Even more excitingly, we’ve also put together THE dwarf army deal to own – the Dwarfen King’s Throng – and it is available, complete with over 80 plastic infantry, artillery and a plethora of metal (including a free hero set!), here in the webstore.
Shipping in August, keep an eye out on the blog for all of the latest WIP greens, artwork, gossip, news and of course rumours (Brainzzz…) over the next couple of days, weeks, months and year!
