Secret Mantic Creative Design Meeting you say?
November 9, 2011 by brennon
A quick one here from Mantic Games concerning a somewhat super secret creative meeting for the minds behind Kings of War, Warpath and of course Dwarf Kings Hold...
Let your rumour mills run wild with this one guys. As we can see they seem to be discussing Dwarf Kings Hold at the top, followed by a lot of interesting chatter about the Corporation, Abyssal Dwarfs and Twilight Kin.
Also, too many releases for summer 2012! What are you talking about man, give us them all now instead!
What can you glean from this interesting titbit?

Such a tease. As soon as the Twilight Kin project started getting interesting, they went ahead and released Warpath. I’m still waiting on those hordes upon hordes of “sword maidens” that I noticed in the army list. Hell, I’m dying to see the whole range….you can’t just put out a great looking fig…..then show us a list……and then have the project drop right off the map 😛
Yes, an odd decision to rush out Warpath, just after they’d released a great sorceress and teased at Twilight Kin for a while. Now, it seems we’ll wait until February (3 months after the planned release) to really know the evil elves. Could have bought the boxed set for the “test” Twilight Kin army set, but I couldn’t pull the trigger to spend that much just on two small photos of the troops. That is one thing Mantic should do a bit better, present everything that is in the army boxes. For example, the Abyssal Dwarf Half-breed units were not… Read more »
Yes am also a bit bemused as to why Warpath is being released with so few models ready for it. Maybe they need money from selling the first sets to help fund new models.
I really hope that they use the extra time that they’ve been given and give us “new” TK sculpts instead of metal/plastic hybrids from the unsold Elf sprues…. Either way. Cant wait till Feb!
More Abyssal Dwarfs? In resin I should hope, do bring them on!!
I’m not really sure what the point of this is. I dislike teases, they just annoy the hell out of me. I’m not surprised by the Abyssal Dwarf stuff and I fully expect them to try to do a cheap knock offs for the troops in Warhammer Forge’s Tamurkhan book. I hope they don’t. I hope they do something that defines them as different.
Precisely put. I would much rather mantic had done something original, for both KoW and WP. The new races for WP may surprise me yet, but truthfully I’ve been less than impressed so far.
I have seen other folks propose that they did this to tweak GW. Leak for leak, I guess. I won’t get too worked up until after the New Year. I have way too many projects now to add more.
I actually like the hybrid sculpts of the Twlight kin. They look dark elvish enough for me, though I do hope they make new sculpts from scratch at a later date. Though what I really want is that they use restic instead of metal for the conversion parts!
Yep, I am a hater of metal since it takes so.long.to.glue lol. Resin parts would be fantastic. Or just all plastic.
