Celestial Creatures Join The Shael Han Of Wrath Of Kings
January 20, 2017 by brennon
Wrath Of Kings is continuing to produce a number of amazing miniatures including some new warriors for the Shael Han. Here we have two new Celestial sets from CoolMiniOrNot.
Out of the gate (quite fittingly) we have the Celestial Gatekeepers...
"Stalwart and powerful, the Celestial Gatekeepers are tireless guardians of Shael Han’s holy places. They have been summoned to the battlefield to protect all of the House’s territories as a whole, sprinting forward blindingly fast to crush foes in their armor-shattering jaws."
Building on the look of those mighty statues that you'd see around the outside of Chinese temples and the like they are superb and look fantastic in this bright orange paint scheme. I particularly like the one at the back who looks decidedly more feral and dangerous.
Following on from them we have some wonderful foxes with the Celestial Tricksters...
Playing in the shadows somewhat they look keen-eyed and ready for a fight.
"The laughing children of misdirection and malicious pranks, the Celestial Tricksters of House Shael Han use magical manipulation and illusionary influences to slay their enemies with madness and frustrating lunacy."
These warriors actually have an ability to trick the enemy into fighting themselves. They could work as a useful distraction, serving to annoy the enemy as they approach you. Just look at those big bushy tails!
What do you think of the new releases?

These look great. How is the wok scene? Never really seen anyone playing it or even speaking about it.
Would be great if they got a UK distributor so I can buy them.
Element games sell it.
Cheers, they didn’t have anything last time I looked.
glad to see more WoK stuff coming down the pipeline.
Currently based in China and these really speak to me. Have also checked March’s release stuff and the little monkey king is calling to me. I think I may have to take the plunge on this.
Those look really good.
Great to see new Shael Han stuff! Once they are available over here I’ll be picking these up.
I have everything of Goritsi but the Rocket wolf. The Ravenscar mercs look amazing. Teknes I am still missing War stompers, Brood soldiers, the character box with Timoshkin and Gulvhar in it, and the Warsmiths. Shael Hann I have a Starter Box and a Fu-long devourer which is a less snakey chinese dragon with a knight on the back. I would love to add the foo dogs and the fox spirits to that. I need to get the specialist and character boxes 1st though. Nasier I just have a starter box so far. Hadross I have nothing at all. Nothing.… Read more »
Wow I forgot this range was around, these turned out to be some really great sculpts. Normally I’m not a fan of anthropomorphic figures, but those fox’s look great.
Great stuff, particularly the Celestial Gatekeeper on the right. These make nice alt’s for Bushido and Malifaux. WoK itself though has a great range has been on my list of games to play for a while now…trouble is, it’s a massive list…..:(
nice love the gatekeeper’s.
Love the Gatekeepers. They’re really cool. Have never been into any of these east Asian inspired fantasy games, and to be honest I’m not very likely to now, but those models look really cool.
