Mantic Games has loads of miniature goodness up their sleeves and, with a project already backed 1,697% (no… that’s not a misprint), Kings of War is taking the Kickstarter world by storm. Although I’ve never had a chance to take a look at any of the Mantic figures or products up close and personal, I’ve heard good things about the company and now’s the time to check out what they have in store for you to support through June 24th.
As with most Kickstarter projects there are some really impressive exclusive goodies to be had as a backer and, at nearly 1700% funding, you can be sure it’s worth checking out to see what can be yours!
You can even score the free basic rule for Kings of War without costing a penny (or, since we’re talking about a company across the pond, pense) right here!
From Mantic:
Mantic Games is a small company looking to do big things. In June, we’re launching Kings of War – a mass combat fantasy battle game.
We’ve got the game, we’ve got a gorgeous range of miniatures, but you deserve more, so we’ve set up this Kickstarter so we can go about delivering it.
The rule system is clearly written, simple and innovative – Written by Alessio Cavatore, Kings of War is an easy-to-learn fantasy battle wargame that is tactical, simple and innovative.
The rules have been fine-tuned after thousands of games and hundreds of pieces of feedback from the gaming community – it is a clearly written game for hobbyists, by hobbyists that allows you to play large-scale games with lots of miniatures easily and quickly.
A fantasy battle game written for both the Casual and Competitive Player – With an innovative turn sequence, a built-in tournament pack and the option to play timed games, Kings of War is a fast and simple game that naturally lends itself to competitive tournaments. It’s such a good fit, even our own tournament organizers have been able to play whilst running the event!
An expanding Miniatures range at an affordable price – Six armies are now available – from horrifying Undead, brutal Orcs all the way to proud Dwarfs and stoic Elves. Each is affordable and models are simple to put together, allowing you to get them on the gaming table quickly.
