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 Character: Mikayel, Lord of Nightmares

A Soulbane of nigh-unprecedented cruelty and ambition, Mikayel is known and feared across the vast reaches of Pannithor and beyond. His title, Lord of Nightmares, is well-earned indeed, for none can sleep soundly when Mikayel is abroad. He can strike anywhere he pleases in the lands of mortals and is engaged on a deadly mission to gain ascendancy over the other Dark Lords of the Twilight Kin’s subterranean realm.

Twilight Kin Corsair Voidwalkers / Fleetwardens

The Twilight Kin Corsairs are the most common fantasy dark elves in Pannithor making up the bulk of the military forces. This boxed set contains enough to make up to 16 fantasy dark elves, as either Corsair Voidwalkers or Corsair Fleetwardens.

Corsair Voidwalkers are skilled with many kinds of weapon and excel at close combat. Often their objective is to subdue rather than kill an enemy, for each captive they take brings them one step closer to achieving the Great Return. Among the Corsairs, Fleetwardens are tasked with fending off the monstrous inhabitants of the Void, keeping them at bay with long spears. Accustomed to engaging creatures beyond the capacity of any individual to oppose, the Fleetwardens train to work in concert with one another, forming up into phalanxes to suppress a hungry Void-dweller trying to devour their ship.

Twilight Kin Impalers

The malignant Twilight Kin Impalers are a product of twisted experiments: large fantasy dark elf warriors locked inside baroque suits of armour. This boxed set contains enough to make up to 6 Twilight Kin Impalers. Like the spikes of an iron maiden, the interior of the armour is festooned with obsidian needles, infusing the warrior with the essence of the Void while the design of the armour itself draws entities to infest it.

More females seemingly survived the process, but as a result, the selected elves were transformed, fused to their armour in a perfect symbiosis with the entity inhabiting it. The Impalers would grow in size and strength, towering over other elves and wielding weaponry impossible for a normal elf to lift, much less swing. Soulbanes, seeking such power for themselves, submitted to the same procedures to become colossal warriors in their own right.
