START COLLECTING: NIGHTSTALKERS

Just as we recently refreshed our Ogres and Empire of Dust ranges, right now we're revisiting the Nightstalkers and a whole range of glorious new kits have just released today!

All manner of gribbly horrors are surging out of the warehouse door, on their way to terrify fantasy wargaming opponents everywhere...

So, we're going to kick off this week with a little celebration of cosmic horror wargaming in Pannithor with: (1) a FREE Nightstalkers Guide, (2) a closer look at the Void Lurker, and (3) checking out what you get in the three brand new army bundles for Nightstalkers.

Let's get started!

FREE Nightstalkers Guide

Read all about it!

Especially for you all, we've prepared a special START COLLECTING guide, which contains lore, design notes, assembly guides, battle tactics and more. It's almost a mini-magazine, and there's some brilliant stuff in here!

And if you collect a different faction...well, you should probably find out what you're up against...

New On The Scene - The Void Lurker

The Void Lurker has had a profile since the launch of the 3rd Edition rulebook, and many gamers have speculated what it would look like once released. Well, it's here, and WOW - what a 'miniature' this is! If you've been searching for a great centrepiece unit or a stunning new painting project, then look no further...

Born in darkness, Void Lurkers break into the physical world blind and hungry. Its head has no eyes and is entirely comprised of a huge gaping maw. To make the sculpt look starved (and therefore dangerous), our sculptor Luigi built the thorax first as a skeleton and then stretched a thin layer of 'digital skin' over the top...creepy stuff.

The Void Lurker is slowly crushing an ancient elven stone column, bringing an extra element of visual storytelling and giving you a head-start for diorama basing. You’ll also find small basing elements with the same architectural style across the new Reaper and Butcher hard plastic frames…

Which Army Box is Right for You?

Yes, they’re back and naturally all include the brilliant new hard plastic frames. So which is right for you? Have a look below:

1. Want to just dip your claw in the water? Perfect for beginners, the Ambush Starter set will get you going with the brand new Reapers and Butchers, plus comes with Quick Start rules to get playing immediately!

2. Ready to commit? The Army box contains options to build any of the hard plastic units for the Nightstalkers, plus a couple of resin 'heroes'.

3. Go big or go home! The Mega Army box is bursting with hard plastic frames, a resin hero, and a hulking Terror as a centrepiece monster for your army. We'll be doing an unboxing of this magnificent box of hobby goodness later in the week!

Make sure to check out the rest of the range, as other faction units such as Shadowhounds and Phantoms have also had a facelift, shifting from PVC into crisply-detailed, hand-cast resin!

And finally, all the new rules (and new units) go live in the Mantic Companion this week on the 19th.

Happy hobbying everyone,

Team Mantic
