Matt had a similar game we tried out last Christmas - have you seen that?
It was heroes trying to beat baddies, and so a bit limited in objectives, but needed some tactical nous.

Plus delivery in April next year is a bit close to Bash potential dates - given the way most of my recent kickstarters have gone.  :closed-eyes:
:icon_lol:  I had to look up "tactical nous".

I found the British definition of "nous", which was funny because I was more aware of the French definition. :icon_lol:

they also did a fantasy one where you control monsters and get attacked by villagers, soldiers and heros which seems like a fun inversion.
I like the idea of a game I could play on my own and scale it up, that you can carry in one box and finish in an evening.

regular war games take me too long!
I don't care about the rules.

Pass the machete.

At the last minute, I find myself tempted by the Mantic Vanguard, for the nightstalkers, giants, and terrain...

I was a bit disappointed by the first Mantic Kings of war kickstarter. My package was badly late, sent to the wrong address, etc.

I was almost tempted by the night stalkers and dwarves, but I think I'm going to sit it out. I have enough models between the previous reaper kicks and the next one.

I think this looked cool. I would have liked to see more pictures showing the sale.

Yep, the shield generator would probably be my pledge, if I hadn't already pledged elsewhere.

Does anyone have the Kings of War succubi? They look like they have potential?

I really like those! No use for them myself, but great sculpts!

(Maybe I should branch out my giant obsession to include large trolls...)

Please note that I am currenly going through lenghts to get the very limited metal release done that I was planning since fig 1. WH member may (should I succeed) replace their resin figs with metal ones.

But honestly - I make no promises as I need to make sure it can be done in time etc.

You mean they will be using Ouija boards instead of Tarot cards for their business plans from now on?

These are good models, and realistic too. The only unreal thing is semi-naked berserkers in furs. According to the saga descriptions, they would look quite similar to other warriors. That said, within the fantasy-viking genre, this is likely as realistic it can ever get. I'm afraid my wallet will cry a little after these ladies...

I bought some Pirates and Barbarians back in 2011 from the sculptor - lovely minis.
