Something is stirring in the forrests of Matica, come see the latest treemen for Kings of War.
Via Mantic:
Today’s blog focusses on a new model for not one, but two armies – the Forest Shamblers. These large tree-men are Large Infantry units in both the Elven Armies and the Forces of Nature. Thanks to the generosity of our kickstarter backers, they’ll be available soon to bolster your forces.
Forest Shambler concept
The kit consists of three multi-part metal models. Each one can have a unique head and torso, plus the kit comes with a range of vine covered or bark covered limbs to add yo your model. Each model has a huge amount of detail, from moss and woodland mushrooms, to grass buds and branches. There’s a lot for a painter to sink their teeth into, but not so crazy as to lose the overall look and form.
In game, the Shamblers are a tough, slow moving defensive unit. Though they lack the speed of their Elven allies, they make up for this by being far more survivable. A combination of the Pathfinder and Vanguard rules means that they’ll be able to keep up with the rest of the army, anyway. Their lack of wavering makes them a solid dependable rock (or is that tree?) for you to rely on
When backed up by a druid with Surge, these giants enter a new level of tactics. Units that use surge can be very useful due to the way that surge can not only catch your opponent out, but ignore some of the normal movement rules. Being Large Infantry, a unit of three unlocks as much as a regiment of twenty infantry. Doubling up counts as a horde, too.
The Forest Shamblers are up for Pre-Order now and can be found in the Elf Mega Army!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
