More Details on MonPoc's 'Empire of the Apes' from Privateer Press

June is going to be a pretty exciting month for me. The garden should be coming along nicely, the days will be warm and long, and Empire of the Apes is coming out for Monsterpocalypse. Guess which one I'm most excited about?

King Kondo and his army of apes are going to hit big on MonPoc tables, and better yet, they're part of the good-guy faction, the Protectors. Sure, they still smash up cities, but only defensively. Smashing.

Here's a closer look at what's coming next month from Privateer Press:

King Kondo

The arrival of the Destroyers has drawn the ire of many great beasts once hidden in the untracked jungles and wilderness places. One of the greatest of Earth's savage defenders is known as King Kondo, a primate of gargantuan proportions with a rage to match his height and girth. Kondo has the strength to punch through buildings or lift and throw entire trains. He has no reason to trust humanity, particularly after a disastrous attempt by a secret multi-national task force to take him captive and use him as a chained weapon, but most of his ire is reserved for unnatural horrors like the Planet Eaters.

King Kondo will be a pretty big resin kit, and retails for $28.99.

Jungle Fortress

This is a secret jungle fortress that is being run by human beings in alliance with King Kondo. The neat thing about buildings in Monsterpocalypse is that they can give bonuses to your faction if you control them. This big jungle building will retail for $18.99.

Assault Apes & Rocket Ape

These are the clever ape units that work under King Kondo. You get 4 assault apes, and one beret wearing ape with a rocket launcher for $34.99.

Ape Gunners & Ape Infiltrator

Yeah, the ape gunners are cool and all, but I'm really loving the stealthy ape infiltrator, because he's probably still 80 feet tall! You get these five handsome gents for $34.99.

General Hondo

Yes, that's a giant gorilla firing a missile off of a truck. We're simply not worthy of the majesty of this miniature!

Though he is not their king, General Hondo is the Empire of the Apes' greatest military leader. Hondo is responsible for the widespread seizure and deployment of human military hardware by ape troops fighting Earth's potential destroyers. He is also fond of military uniforms and medals. Hondo's methods suggest a degree of tactical and strategic depth once thought exclusive to Homo sapiens. He enjoys bringing missile-launching platform with him and savors the resulting explosions, another trait shared with his human counterparts.

General Hondo brings long range support to your Empire of the Apes group, and retails for $28.99.

So, what on earth can we do to pass the time until Empire of the Apes finally comes out for Monsterpocalypse? Let's watch a painting video with Privateer Press' own Jordan Lamb:
