5th Oct 2023

Dan Mapleston



Welcome back to the Clash of Kings - the book this time, not the tournament!

Available for pre-order this Friday (6th October), let's all take a sneak peek at what's coming your way soon.

First up, we can't say enough good things about the cover art by Christian Byrne. It's a beauty!

So, what's inside? Glad you asked!

Background

With the return of the Twilight Kin, this book contains their updated lore. We're delighted to share that the background has been written by veteran fantasy and horror author, C.L. Werner!

Prepare to be gripped as you dive into their backstory, learning all about Ileureleith, the Scarlet Sanctum, the Nightships, the Dark Conclave, and the astonishing saga of Mikayel Faewyll on his path from valiant elven inquisitor to the Lord of Nightmares...

Twilight Kin Army List

Float like a Skiff, sting like a Goredrake!

All ready for you to sink your list-building teeth into, the new Twilight Kin army stats are available in print for the first time. Whether you're building your own force of these deadly elves, or just want to know what you're up against, it's essential reading.

Twilight Kin Ambush Starter Set

Twilight Kin Ambush Starter Set

The Twilight Kin Ambush Set is the perfect way to start your twisted elven army in Kings of War. This Ambush starter set comes with enough models to make one regiment of Impalers as well as two troops or one regiment of Corsair Voidwalkers/Fleetwardens.

The Twilight Kin have developed a culture and mindset that has diverged drastically from the other elven kindreds. Though they share a common history, the Twilight Kin have deliberately cast aside the morality and compassion that endowed Elvenholme with much of its grandeur at the height of the kingdom’s power. In their ruthless drive to restore the glories of the past, the Twilight Kin have shed the very essence of that past.

Twilight Kin Army

Twilight Kin Army

Dwelling in their underworld caverns for so long has brought physical changes upon the Twilight Kin. They are paler than other elves, their skin taking on a sickly, almost pasty cast. The beauty of their countenances is clouded by a cruelty that has become almost innate to them. The Voidwalkers and those who commune with entities from the Void, have peculiar eyes that convey a terrible intensity that is unnerving to look upon.

Twilight Kin Mega Army

Twilight Kin Mega Army

The scruples of elven character have been conditioned out of each and every member of the Twilight Kin. To become one of their dark cult, an elf must become hardened to torture and savagery. Initiates are tested continually to ensure their hearts have no sympathy for their victims – that no moral doubts will cause them to stray from their devotion to the Great Return.
