I picked this set up at a local estate sale and I am looking for instructions, what should be in the box and any other info. I am new to the forum so if this is the wrong category let me know. Product Code MGVAD101
Thanks in advance and Happy New Year

I think the one you are showing is a different set. The Dwarf Warband set only has 10. What I am looking for is what should be in the box. I only have 2 sprues, 4 bags with plastic pieces, one bag with metal pieces, three stands and all the cards. also shouldn’t there be an instruction sheet?
Thanks for your reply

It’s probably the old Vanguard set:
Sadly Vanguard didn’t take off, so I’m not sure what you would do with the cards. There are a few dedicated fans though.
Mantic only started giving instructions recently, but the models are fairly intuitive.
This blog gives rundowns:
I’m not sure what plastic you’d get in a bag, is it maybe resin?
Also not sure about the metal, how big is it?

So would the 10 dwarfs be on 2 sprues. One of the website that shows KoW figures shows the figures and two sprues which are like the ones I have. I think the previous owner put other sets in the box. Not sure what happened to all the other bases since I only found three in the box. The other figures are probably Warhammer since there was a lot of those at the sale. Thanks for the information.
The ironclad are on a sprue of 5. Plastic glues works.
You can mix up the legs and torsos. You can pick weapon and head options as you like for the sockets. The shields go on the left hands.
Look out for the dog and passed out dwarf, they’re fun extras.
The ironwatch are on a sprue of 2. Plastic glue again.
Both have option for a crossbow or a rifle.
The 2 handed hammer can be used with some of the ironclad (to make a shieldbreaker) if you build one for it. Using one of the arm options and leaving a shield off.
Both of the spure options have an intergrated base that slots into a Mantic plastic square base. Those come on sprues of 10.
KoW players typically multi-base units, so if you want those bases the someone in your nearest KoW should have some to spare.
The sergent, ironguard and ranger are resin.
Wash in warm soapy water and assemble with superglue.
I like to give a light scrub with an old toothbrush and rinse in clean water. I also leave a plug in the drain until all small parts are well away.
The parts are keyed, so dry fitting and the pictures will get you there. I recommend always dry fitting for any minuature.
If you have other models in there, then I’m not sure.
Post a picture if you want advice on those?

Thanks for all the information. The box has the two sprues and appear complete and it has the 21 cards that came in the box. It is missing the sprue with the 10 bases. The rest of the items are from some other set and they just tossed them in. Thanks again for all the help.
