Below is what I expect is The Freak Show’s version of a<br />

catapult. A giant jack-in-the-box that pitches a massive<br />

spiked ball into the enemy’s ranks. Splendid!<br />

Does it look unorthodox, implausible, bizarre and just a<br />

little bit goofy? Yes, but I think that’s what gives it a lot<br />

of character. One thing that I have really liked about 100<br />

Kingdoms so far is that while some of their armies are<br />

pretty standard (Avalon and Bushido) others are different<br />

(Simian and Panthera) and some are just plain strange<br />

(The Freak Show).<br />

Well, my thoughts on the next army for 100 Kingdoms<br />

being a zombie army seem to have been a little bit off as<br />

The Freak Show army is the next one in line for release.<br />

The Freak Show does have some zombie-ish guys in their<br />

ranks, but I would also expect several more undead style<br />

armies in the future especially since they plan to release<br />

one hundred different armies for the game.<br />

The pictures here are rough drafts so some changes could<br />

certainly occur between now and the release of the<br />

models. The guy above is called Nevermore and has a<br />

designation of being a Ring Master, which goes along<br />

great with the concept of a freak show or twisted circus.<br />

I’d expect him to be the Warlord of your army and maybe<br />

even a spell caster too.<br />

With 94 armies left for them to construct I bet that you<br />

see more from all three of those categories. The trick will<br />

be to keep them balanced, interesting and playable.<br />

From what I’ve seen of the figures for 100 Kingdoms I<br />

expect that all of these will turn out very nice. Several<br />

finished models and greens can be seen on the 100<br />

Kingdoms website and while the rulebook for this army is<br />

not yet available as a free download (as of this writing) I<br />

would expect it shortly.<br />

Below is a Human Torch that has a barrel of volatile liquid<br />

strapped to his back and my guess would be that he lets<br />

loose with some kind of flame template. A variant of this<br />

model could have a<br />

torch in one hand and<br />

a bottle of alcohol in<br />

the other.<br />

No armor and tattered<br />

clothes make sense for<br />

this guy. No armor<br />

because you’re not<br />

going to waste it on<br />

him as he’s likely to<br />

blow himself up at<br />

some point and he’s<br />

wearing ratty clothes<br />

because, well, he’s a<br />

freakin’ carny!<br />
