Twilight Kin teases and hints

And the Biggest Shields we’ve seen in quite a while :wink: Which would make a nice high Def anvil-hammer in a list of relatively low defense. Plus moving these to large infantry opens some room for the other Elf troops to have a little more identity / agency. I’m digging it.

Kyke also mentions that they’ll be large infantry sized.
I would not mind painting large infantry instead of infantry. :sweat_smile:

Some more art, from the Mantic news email.
Presumably related to the global campaign.

WHAT IS THAT THING THOUGH!?

There were some in earlier art too, apparently not just reapers then?

A shooting version possibly means a plastic dual kit. By the look of them it might just be upgrades for reapers though.
Some kind of void spawn perhaps? This army is looking more dark and twisted than I was expecting. :smiling_imp:

There’s a new video.

VOID SKIFFS!


New chariots that float, through the void and just above the ground.
With some talk of a shooting upgrade that does broadsides.
I like that it’s a cool new idea, but that leaves room for old models.

Also concept art:


Plus a render:


At the end of the video Kyle says the next video is on core infantry: the corsairs and void touched.

I would guess that the corairs are something between salamander corsairs and gladestalkers.

Void touched sound like a possible answer to this question:

As standalone models they look fun - how they fit with everything else might be a bit weird?

Shooting chariots (which usually have less ranged attacks than in melee) should have option for flank shots - it was sort of the reason they were used IRL? :wink:

Makes me wonder if it’s going to be a dual box like the butchers and reapers? Also curious if the neophytes will be featured?

Regardless, I’m hyped for the release and have purposely captured the hobby butterfly in a jar in preparation for October.

The LGT event will be the first time to see/get hands on the the TK stuff from what i gather.

I like a lot of what’s been previewed, but i do like finding alternative stuff that works. Depending on what actually is in the army list could see getting some alongside my NS.

It does look like Mantic is making a point of getting the most out of plastic kits by making them dual kits.

Not entirely, but I’ll start a new thread to talk about chariots to make sure this one doesn’t get derailed.

Edit: topic on chariots here.

Looks like Goblin Gaming have the Twilight Kin in their pre-orders; sadly no pictures :cry: , with a total of 12 items including the usual Ambush Strater, Army & Mega Army. There is also a 2-player box with Abyssal Dwarfs and Twilightkin called The Raging Void.

Looking at the army set, Corsairs and Voidtouched are separate sprues
1 Twilight Kin Army pack contains:

  • 1 Twilight Kin A5 12pg mini-magazine
  • 4x corsair frame
  • 2x impaler frame
  • 2x voidtouched frame
  • 1x resin void captain

The Voidtouched come with a larger multibase, so possibly Heavy Infantry. 4 frames sounds too much for cavalry.
1 Twilight Kin Voidtouched Regiment pack contains:

  • 4x Voidtouched Frame
  • 2x 125x50mm mdf bases

The Void Skiffs include a Coarsair frame
1 Twilight Kin Void Skiff Regiment pack contains:

  • 3x void skiff frame
  • 1x corsair frame

Also, an interesting unit named Voidwranglers which gives an interesting mix of Voidtouched and Nightstalker Reapers
1 Twilight Kin Voidwranglers pack contains:

  • 2x Corsairs Frame
  • 1x Reaper Frame
  • 2x 125x50mm mdf bases

Thanks @Sceleris!

For the record; those are from this video.

It also includes shots of void skiff sprues:

And the corsairs that crew them:

I’m sure there were other spoilers on the Clash UK stream that I missed but Ronnie said that the Void Skiffs will be US2.

Looking at the Corsairs, I think I’m glad Mantic have kept and improved upon the unnaturally slender aesthetic of their Elves, as opposed to pointy-eared humans with sharp facial features, though it’s difficult to visualise how the power stance will look on a finished model. Makes me think of Bruce Dickinson when he’s belting out a verse. Or maybe they should be modelled riding disturbingly shaped surfboards?

Thanks for sharing so promptly!
Beat me to it while I was compiling pictures
:sweat_smile:

Fortunately it looks like it’s just the void skiff crew with that stance. Kinda surfing indeed!

Its the same corsair sprue in the voidskift unit, so there will be a few floating around with that stance!

Interesting to see the rules - based on the models it looks like lots of pretty light infantry backed up by heavier units like the impalers and butchers
