This is a story of an escalation league where my humans face the Ratkin run by a friend of mine. Neither of us have much experience in Kings of War 3rd edition (though we played each other quite a few times in 2nd) The rules gonna be simple: We start at a "kill' scenario of … Continue reading “We’ve got rats…..”
The other day I posted on the KoW forum about the loss of our beloved polearm troops. This was the post: As I read the review om KoM my mate from regum aeternum 2 posted, I agree with a lot of his assessments. Generally we’re both very happy with the way Kingdoms of Men have … Continue reading Why I have good hopes the polearm troops will return
Back in 2nd edition, many units that now have the Pot Shot special rule, did have the Reload special rule. While the guys at Counter charge (great show, btw) hail this as a massive improvement, I remain sceptical. In this blog post I'll try to point out why. First things first, what are the rules … Continue reading Sceptical about the Pot Shot rule
The christmas holidays have been productive from a hobby perspective. There's something end-of-yearish that encourages hobby time. Maybe it's the long, dark, nights, but spending the night underneath a daylight painting lamp is oddly pleasant. First of all, I rebased a horde of foot guard. I wanted to show the unit marching over a roman-type … Continue reading Hobby update – christmas holidays

EDIT: Per 31-10-2019 Mantic replied on this subject by the mouth of Matt Gilbert on the Kings of War forum: (...)PMC is not a “rule”. It’s a guideline for aesthetics. PMC says it is something to aim for to maintain the aesthetic of a mass-battle / R&F wargame. It also says that if it’s not … Continue reading Pondering the 3rd edition Preferred model count
Kings of War has reached another milestone - 3rd edition. What started as a cheaper-model replacement for GW games that needed a rulesset (KoW 1st edition) has matured into a professional game that doesn't need its shared ties with Warhammer anymore. According to playtesters, the game has improved without losing any of its original elegance. … Continue reading Milestone – Kings of War 3rd edition
