Yesterday and the day before I posted the first and second parts of of my Undead 3rd edition review. Today concludes the final part of this review. Today it's just the heroes, but please bear in mind undead has plenty of them! Lycanis Lycanis is almost the same as in 2nd. He's got the same … Continue reading Kings of War 3rd edition Undead review (3)

Cavalry - soul reaver cav … Continue reading Kings of War 3rd edition Undead review (2)

The first to be reviewed is Undead: Disclaimer For obvious reasons, I'll not post exact statistics and point costs on this blog. In a few months, they will be available on easyarmy, until that … Continue reading Kings of War 3rd edition Undead review (1)
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
I painted up a pair of Trolls recently. My Goblin detachment (it's not really an army, nor will it be anytime soon) urgently needs some unlockers. The best unlockers in the goblin army (without having to paint 30-ish more gobbos) are trolls. Frankly said, I only painted these because I need unlockers. They are reaper … Continue reading Hobby update – Trollin’ around
Recently I had the opportunity to play a 3,000 point game. As our usual game size is 1,500 points, I now had the opportunity to go larger! My first instinct was to take more and more of everything.

We started Gloomhaven recently. (for those who don't know, Gloomhaven doesn't have anything to do with Kings of War, its a cooperative board game with legacy features) I like it a lot. So much that I spent some time painting the character I play, a Savvas Cragheart. see here -> The Gloomhaven models aren't the … Continue reading Gloomhaven Cragheart – hobby update and analysis
picture courtesy of mantic games Kings of War 3rd edition is looming on the Horizon. Just any moment KoW 3rd edition can drop and spoilers are all over the internet. In this blog post I'll look at what rumours spark my interest and which do disappoint me a bit. Please bear in mind that I … Continue reading Kings of War 3rd edition hype
Elite and vicious are both strong rules, especially if it's an army wide rule. The rule allows for more damage, especially guarding against that single bad dice roll that happens once every time. The rule makes units not only perform better, it increases their reliability. (which is a good thing) Elves (and their evil kin) … Continue reading Why Elite and Vicious are (almost) the same thing
Vince on all things Kings of War
