Mantic: Kings of War Vanguard- Trident Realms Riverguard Dambuster unboxed and built!

Yeah... all those names and titles are a bit of a mouthful. Sounds a bit strange.
But here's an armored frog being ridden by a smaller samurai- inspired frog to totally make things much more normal.
I couldn't resist this figure. It's so Saturday morning cartoon levels of silliness that it surpasses goofy and transcends it.
I really like this model far more than I should.
Plus he's an actual Vanguard unit! With cards included! Do you want frog on frog cavalry? You should. A shame he looks so much better than the basic Riverguard models. I think I'll have to just get some Privateer frogs instead.
If you can't find these locally then demand Mantic send you some!

Before gluing I heated the tops of the legs in boiling water and pressed each one in turn firmly into place (without gluing yet), holding it there until cool (it doesn't take very long to cool). The gaps almost completely disappeared.

My originating Scifi collection of 28mm started with the Mantic Star Saga core box (which you can still find and it ain't all that expensive) Even those sculpts painted up quite well, and the later stuff (Rebs) that I picked up was resin, and quite sharp in detail.

No "frog noises" and no TMNT jokes! 😁

Love Mantic minis thanks for the review cause now I’m buying this fella. Any chance you’ll review the upcoming Mantic 3rd edition starter set (Viking guys vs horrors).
