Stargrave Scavengers II
Like the Scavengers set, the bodies are dressed in long coats or cloaks.
Nightstalker Ambush Starter Set
The Kings of War Ambush Starter Sets are Mantic's introduction to the Kings of War fantasy battle game.
I have to admit to expect more than three stands in your starter army (Kings of War uses whole blocks of figures rather than individual figures).However, as I was after the figures for other games, they are a reasonable source of figures that would require the purchase of two of the Regiment boxes.
I will have a look at the supplied rules at some point (I might need to get some sabot bases to convert the individually based figures back to blocks).
The instructions are not comprehensive.
Twilight Kin Voidtouched
As part of the recently released Twilight Kin (Dark Elves) range, the Voidtouched are humans and elves who have been mutated by contact with powers beyond their comprehension and control
As with many of Mantic's recent releases, these are more multi-part rather than multi-pose.
These are probably going to form the basis of opponents for When Nightmares Come games, together with the Reapers and Butchers in the Nightstalker Ambush Starter Set.
Quar Crusader Rhyfler
This is the first completed Quar Crusader Rhyfler
The figure was undercoated with Citadel SnotWomble Green.Quar Blister Packs - Coftyran
Officers with sword and pistol
Trench Raiders with various weaponsRCO 100mm howitzer
They are the same difficult to work with thermoplastic.
Quar blister packs - Crusader
In addition to the hard plastic multi-pose kits, there were also three blister packs of thermoplastic Crusader figures.
Crusader H11a LMGCrusader officers with Grifkis shotgun
Crusader infantry with Splagen Torpedoes (pitot mortars)
There are mould lines and some flash. The material reminds me of Mantic PVC.
It does not take to being filed - flash and mould lines need to be removed with the blade of a scalpel. Scraping just roughs the surface.
This Quar's War revisited.
Here are the first Quar assembled and undercoated.
