Martin here, and the time you’ve all been waiting 10 months for is finally in sight!

The Twilight Kin are available for pre-order from today! Mikayel and his cronies are coming to make YOUR NIGHTMARES BECOME MANIFEST this October.

We have loads more cool stuff coming up over the next few weeks for the Twilight Kin including: more design diaries,  rules/profile explainers and even a little miniature painting surprise.

So watch this space!

‘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.

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.’

Twilight Kin Ambush Starter Set

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.

CONTENTS: 16x Hard Plastic Corsair Voidwalkers/Fleetwardens, 3x Hard Plastic Impalers, MDF bases, 1x Kings of War Ambush Rulebook, 1x Twilight Kin Ambush Guide

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.

CONTENTS: 16x Hard Plastic Corsair Voidwalkers/Fleetwardens, 6x Hard Plastic Impalers, 10x Hard Plastic Voidtouched Mutants/Weavers, 1x Resin Void Captain, MDF bases, 1x Twilight Kin Guide, 1x Twilight Kin Rules Booklet

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.

CONTENTS: 16x Hard Plastic Corsair Voidwalkers/Fleetwardens, 9x Hard Plastic Impalers, 20x Hard Plastic Voidtouched Mutants/Weavers, 3x Hard Plastic Void Skiffs with Corsair Crew, 1x Resin Summoner Crone on Mare, MDF bases, 1x Twilight Kin Guide, 1x Twilight Kin Rules Booklet

Corsairs Regiment

The most common military forces of the Twilight Kin that are likely to be encountered are the Corsairs who crew the Nightships. 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.

CONTENTS: 16 Hard Plastic Corsair Voidwalkers/Fleetwardens, MDF bases

Voidtouched Regiment

The Voidtouched are those mortals who have been corrupted and mutated by the dimensional radiations that flow between realities. Those designated as simply Mutants are deformed and crazed creatures, both elf and non-elf, who are simply set loose against opponents by their uncaring masters.

CONTENTS: 20 Hard Plastic Voidtouched Mutants/Weavers, MDF bases

Impalers Horde

The malignant Impalers are a product of twisted experiments: elven warriors locked inside baroque suits of armour. 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.

CONTENTS: 6x Hard Plastic Impalers, MDF bases

Void Skiff Regiment

The Void-skiff is a peculiar vessel employed by the Twilight Kin that harnesses the twisted emanations of the dimensional seas to propel itself over any terrain. Levitating over land as easily as water, the Void-skiffs are a little larger than a chariot in size, manned by a crew of one or two Corsairs. In battle, the skiffs deploy the same harpoon-guns they use to attack the more enormous denizens of the Void.

CONTENTS: 3x Hard Plastic Void Skiffs, 4x Hard Plastic Corsairs, MDF bases

Voidwranglers

Corsair Wranglers are the boldest of the Twilight Kin who crew the Nightships. While the rest of their crews seek to keep the terrifying inhabitants of the Void away from their ships, the Wranglers will deliberately entice these monsters to attack. Using instruments first designed by the Wyrmbreakers to capture the creatures of the underworld, Wranglers strive to subdue the horrors they confront.

CONTENTS: 8x Hard Plastic Corsair Voidwalkers/Fleetwardens/Wranglers, 5x Hard Plastic Reapers, MDF bases

Twilight Kin Heroes

Leading the Corsairs, whether aboard ship or in battle, are the Void Captains and Navigators, while Summoner Crones are thaumaturges whose presence greatly benefits any Twilight Kin force. A Soulbane is the ultimate horror – a stable mutant, so malevolent and warped by the void as to be unrecognisable from the individual that birthed the monster they have become.

CONTENTS: 1x Resin Navigator, 1x Resin Void Captain, 1x Resin Summoner Crone on Mare, 1x PVC Soulbane, MDF & plastic bases

Mikayel, Lord of Nightmares

A Soulbane of nigh-unprecedented cruelty and ambition, Mikayel is known and feared across the vast reaches of Mantica 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.

CONTENTS: 1x Resin Mikayel, Lord of Nightmares, MDF Base

Butcher Fleshripper

CONTENTS: 1x PVC Butcher Fleshripper, MDF Base

Goredrake

Among the more monstrous components of a Twilight Kin force are the Void-dwellers that have been subjugated by their beastmasters or summoned by their spellcasters. Among these are the Goredrakes, hideous two-headed monstrosities that are capable of slaughtering entire villages on their own.

CONTENTS: 1x PVC Dragon Body and Wings, 1x Resin Goredrake Head Upgrade, 1x Resin Gore Drake Base, MDF Base

The wonderful Kyle has done two design diaries (so far) for the Twilight Kin and they are a brilliant way to see a bit behind the scenes of how things are made at Mantic.
