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 />
