June New Releases: Kings of War and Vanguard

As stores around the world prepare to re-open (or have already re-opened) it's time to start bringing back regular Mantic releases! Although the previous release schedule has had to be ripped up, we're starting to dip our toe back into the water this month with some very exciting new releases. Check them out below and be sure to order in your FLGS or direct from the Mantic website.

KINGS OF WAR TWO-PLAYER STARTER SET

You asked for it and we've been listening... not at your window or anything creepy like that. Just when you've told us in person. Wow, this has got awkward... let's move on.

Since Vanguard launched plenty of people and stores said they wished there was a starter set to make it easier to get into the game. Well, we're delighted to say that we've done just that. The set contains absolutely everything you need to start playing, including:

• 2 player Set booklet
• Resin Basilean Dictator
• Resin Nightstalker Banshee
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Paladin Defenders/Chaplain
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Men-at-Arms Sergeants/Veteran Sergeant
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Sisterhood
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Sisterhood Scout
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Gur Panther
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Butcher
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Horror
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Reaper
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Phantom
• Multi-part PVC Plastic Shadowhound
• 5 Multi-part Hard Plastic Scarecrows/Spectres
• 5 Multi-part Hard Plastic Men-at-Arms/Crossbowmen
• Cardboard Counter Sheet
• 16 Power Dice
• 8 D8 dice
• Bases
• Mantic Tape Measure
• Hardback Vanguard Rulebook

Phew! That's a lot of stuff. Plus, if you order from the Mantic website, you'll get a FREE digital copy of the Ice & Iron supplement, which includes new scenarios and campaign rules.

The new Vanguard two-player set starts shipping from June 15th, so look for it in your local store this month.

FORCES OF THE ABYSS WELL OF SOULS

Moving onto Kings of War now and the resin Well of Souls is available to pre-order too. The screaming void at the heart of the Abyss given form, it is hard to tell if the Well of Souls is sentient or merely a force of destruction. It tears across the battlefield as a wailing vortex, ripping the very souls from mortal foes and sucking them into the Abyss.

Although obviously very cool as a Well of Souls, we think this would make a great spell or objective in your role-playing games too. Just imagine facing that in a dark dungeon. Actually don't... we don't want you to have nightmares.

ARCHFIEND OF THE ABYSS

The Well of Souls isn't the only release for the Forces of the Abyss because the Archfiend is finally back in stock! We will now be making this mighty resin monster in resin at Mantic HQ, so stock will no longer be a problem. The Archfiend will be roaring into stores later this month.

The above releases are just the first new releases for June and next week we'll have details about the Hellboy products hitting shelves too.
