I do love League of Rhordia. It's like Kingdoms of Men, but with an effective hammer (Honour guard), better flier, (duke beats KoM general) and great war machines (volley gun). Moreover League has a nifty tool that many players forget in the shape of the halfling sorcerer. @ 50 points he's a nuisance that few … Continue reading How to build your own halfling sorcerer
KoM Crossbowmen Introduction As many know, my first love is my Kingdoms of Men army. Not because how it performs on the battlefield (I can't get it to work well) but because I love the idea of common blokes with a pike or crossbows taking on the horrors of Mantica. The armies (yes: I own … Continue reading An idea for more diversity in the KoM army for KoW3
I have received my Clash of Kings '19 book in the mail today! Pretty happy with the contents, but my abyssal army needs some serious rethought to be even somewhat effective as its MVP's have been hit with the nerf bat. This blog post describes my thought proces..... the original abyssal army In 2017, I … Continue reading Post CoK-19, reconstucting a broken army

back to the 80's What '80 and '90 kid doesn;t remember the cult movie Army of Darkness? The bad special effects combined with great quotes.... "Ooh, wait a minute. The words...All right, all right, all right. Say the words. Klaatu...barada...Iu -necktie. Nectar, n-- nickel. Noodle. It's an "N" word. It's definitely an "N" word.

Preface In early 2018 I posted below article on the Mantic forums. The post caused a lot of discussion as not everyone agreed with me. As I still stand with my analysis, I thought to preserve this article as the forum goes down. Why this post? Kings of War has made quite a lot of … Continue reading Why elven shooters are great and men aren’t.
Introduction:For those who know me, Kings of War is mainly about my Kingdoms of Men armies. These are former Warhammer Empire armies which have been slowly transformed into Kings of War over the past three years. The army usually features as Kingdoms of Men; sometimes as League of Rhordia en occasionally as Brotherhood. It's also been … Continue reading My 2nd halberdier horde
Edit February 2019: with the insight created by eighth months hindsight; I reposted this blog post here. There's some difference in post-game analitics created by said hindsight. 🙂 Original content: Kingdoms of men 1500 Originally posted on the Mantic forums in may 2018 As many on this forum know, in our gaming group we usually … Continue reading A 1,500 points army for a small tourney
Blood Axe posted the (rumoured) changes in CoK'19 for Kings of war. For those who don't know, Kings of War is a game that changes yearly depending on the meta of previous year. I added Thorgrim's completed rumours at the end of this post; but first my ideas on the changes for the armies I … Continue reading CoK ’19 rumours and my thoughts on them.
In 2017 I painted up a fresh army, Abyssals-in-a-ruined temple. Above and below the results: First goal will be 1,500 points. As my other armies (humans of all kinds and both kinds of undead) don't have the mobility/battlefield control that abyssals can get, I'm focussing my army on swift flyers plus BW support. That said, … Continue reading 1,500 points of Abyssals – a 2017 project
