Last issue we got to take a look at the concept artwork<br />

for some new 100 Kingdoms armies and now we’ve got<br />

the figures themselves in hand to monkey with.<br />

First up are the Wildlings, which are a race of centaurs<br />

and should be familiar to any player of fantasy games.<br />

Below are two, of three different troop types, of<br />

Mustang warriors. The first is a pretty standard line<br />

trooper who comes with a sword and the second is an<br />

archer. Not pictured is the third type of Mustang warrior<br />

who wields a bolo. The archer has a separate bow and<br />

quiver which fit easily onto the model.<br />

Each of the models needed some cleaning on the mold<br />

line which was visible but not excessive. There were no<br />

defects at all and the top human half of the body fit<br />

easily onto the horse bottom. The horse halves of all of<br />

the Mustangs are identical, but having the ability to<br />

rotate the top half can give the illusion of having several<br />

different figures/poses.<br />

Each blister of Mustangs comes with two identical<br />

models for $10.00 USD. This is a marvelous bargain for<br />

what are essentially two all-metal cavalry figures. Uses<br />

outside of 100 Kingdoms certainly include Confrontation<br />

as Keltois Centaurs and in fantasy rpg’s as player<br />

characters or monsters.<br />

To the top-right we have a couple Clydesdale warriors to<br />

take a look at. The top one is a female warrior armed<br />

with a small crossbow and below her is another warrior,<br />

this one with a sword and shield. The Clydesdales also<br />

come with identical lower halves, but are wearing much<br />

heavier armor, plate as opposed to very light leather and<br />

what look like blankets on the Mustangs. The upper<br />

human halves are also in much heavier armor. I expect<br />

that even with a missile weapon, the Crossbow(wo)men<br />

will be quite formidable in close combat.<br />

Like with the Mustangs the only cleaning that was<br />

needed was along the mold line, mostly on the horse<br />

part. Both of these troops are pose-able, if you are<br />

careful. The arms of both can be bent to give you a bit<br />

more variety. The separate sword and shield of the<br />

warrior fit on to the model without any trouble.<br />

Again, you get two of each model in a blister for $10.00<br />

USD. Other uses for them are the same as with the<br />

Mustangs.<br />

Below-right is the<br />

leader (Warlord) of the<br />

Wildlings army, the<br />

Lord of the Hunt. Like<br />

the other Wildlings he<br />

comes as an upper and<br />

lower half, but no<br />

separate weapons<br />

here. He’s even more<br />

heavily armored than<br />

the Clydesdales and<br />

has a bit of an<br />

Egyptian look to him.<br />

His fore legs are up
