Let's hope my girlfriend and her obsession with any model that has pretty wings on it doesn't result in me having to buy her some of those Elohi...

...too late.....

Grab your sword, the Basileans are nearly here!

There is now less than 1 week to go until the Basileans are released!

 
Yep, this is our biggest army launch yet and unlike previous army releases, it’s all coming in one go - this means you can pick everything up at once, rather than having to wait until the following month to get everything you want for your army!

To make things extra easy, we’ve put together two incredible value for money army deals that contain a mix of heroes, cavalry and infantry from across the range. Not only that but pre-order one of these deals before the 31st August and get a free copy of the Basilean Legacy with your Army!
The Holier Than Thou Army Deal contains 155 miniatures and is a 1650 point army, saving you a huge chunk of change over purchasing the sets individually. The Army of the Archangel contains 79 models and totals 1500 points.

Building a Basilean Army

Army Sets are a traditional feature of all Mantic Armies and the Basileans are no different. The Basilean Army Set is a great value box that contains a little bit of everything, including 5 Basilean Paladin Knights with command, 10 Paladins on foot with command, 10 Sisterhood with command, 20 Men-at-Arms with spears and hand weapon options, and 3 mighty Elohi! Couple that with the 32 page Kings of War Core Rules Booklet and you’ve got yourself a great starting point for your army or the perfect addition to an existing collection.

Basileans are fully compatible with all major Fantasy and Historical gaming systems.

From there you can expand your Army Set with some ranged support like theCrossbowmen, or some fast attack choices like the Basilean Panther Lancers and thePanther Chariot. All of the miniatures in the Army Set are also available as separate kits, so you can get whole regiments of Paladin Knights for example, or a Men-at-Arms Horde. Then there are also four incredible hero sculpts to choose from: Grand Master Sallustis on Nakir, Ur-Elohi Jullius, Ur-Elohi Samacris and High Priest Berosos!

Of course, if you’re going to be using your Basileans in Kings of War then you’ll be needing The Basilean Legacy Kings of War supplement, which contains all the rules, stats and background you need for your army.

More than just that though, it’s packed full of all kinds of extras including a total of three army lists – yep, the Forces of Nature and the Forces of the Abyss are in there too – an expanded Magic Artefacts section worked on by members of our forum and new Magic spells. The Basilean Legacy is a beautiful book packed full of art and new photography meaning if you play Kings of War this is a must-have purchase.

The Basileans and The Basilean Legacy Kings of War supplement begin shipping on the 26th August and will be available from all good hobby retailers. Pre-order them now on the Mantic Webstore!
