New Night Stalkers take the field!

Just a short while ago Mantic released an expansive ruleset to Kings of War titled Uncharted Empires. This expansion gave us the rules and background for multiple new armies. One in particular caught my eye and lead to a hobby frenzy.

In a matter of one extended weekend I painted up the army of a lifetime.

Fiends

Nightmares

Collecting from multiple manufacturer ranges, I was able to put a look and feel to models that were given only descriptions.

Reapers

Shadow-hulk

Some of these, like in the case of Forge World's Mourngul, I had always heavily desired the models, but never had a purpose for them.

Spectres

Terror

Gorgeous models that somehow found a way into one force. I've never had an experience in wargaming where I had the freedom to accomplish something of this nature. The inspiration of it all was a little overwhelming. I never have before and likely never will again paint so much so quickly.

Butchers

Dopplegangers

Even after all of this, I was very pleased with how they performed. As far as gameplay goes...having this army come together the way it did from conception, to painting, to play so quickly and efficiently may be one of the rarest experiences in tabletop gaming I've ever had.

Check out the battle report. It was an awesome game and a great time!
