It’s a red letter day if you like two-fisted fighting fish men or tiny foodies with big feet.
Now available for pre-order, Mantic’s next wave of Kings of War Trident Realm and Halfling miniatures features a combination of new releases and old favourites in new packaging and ‘updated with new bases / base adapters/ hard plastic multibases’.
The halfling reinforcements feature:
EJ Squadron: described as ‘Fast and agile’, these pint-sized pilots use flying machines and ‘injured drakons […] nursed back to health or repaired with mechanical wings’ to drop bombs on their enemies and conduct scouting missions.

War Machines: not only do halflings field multi-barrelled volley guns and howitzers, but also Swamp Belchers. Drakons with a voracious taste for swamp fungus, these rotund reptiles have a fire which ‘permanently smoulders in their bellies’, thus allowing then to belch flames at deserving targets.

Forest Troll Gunners & Sergeant: these rough and tumble trolls are not only equipped with XL clubs, but they also have platforms strapped to their backs; these are manned by halflings equipped with swivel guns.

Hero Pack: this fantastic foursome of hard-boiled halfling heroes is kitted out with a variety of guns and melee weapons. They’re also late for second breakfast and are really, really hangry.

Muster Captain on Winged Aralez: these diminutive captains make up for their tiny stature by flying into battle on big dogs with even bigger wings.

Trident Realms players, meanwhile, will soon be able to, ahem, school their enemies with these fishy fighters:
Trident King: apparently there are only three of these monarchs in KoW world, and not one of them is responsible enough to stay away from the frontline.

Kraken: this really big dude can crush even the largest warships ‘into nothing but matchwood and flotsam’.

Coral Giant: knocked together ‘from the living creatures of the sea’, coral giants can also crush even the largest warships ‘into nothing but matchwood and flotsam’.

War Machines: designed to ‘stave off the biggest ocean wyrms’, Trident Realm war machines can crush even the largest warsh … well, you get the idea.
