Picture copied from swordsmaster's blog -see links for his excellent battle reports Kings of War is my primary wargame at this time. In this blog post I try to show why I love the game so much. Therefore, this is a not-so-honest review, since I gladly admit to be somewhat of a fanboy. That said, … Continue reading Kings of War by Mantic, a not-so-honest review
I posted before on my goblins , as they are a 360-point allied detachment to my armies.Last week I finished the detachment: I really like how they turned out; especially the basing. As I discussed the creation of my horde of shooters in the previous blog post; I just post the close-up pictures and leave … Continue reading The curious case of my goblin detachment (2)
Welcome to my blog! Here I keep progress of my Kings of War adventures. This blog will cover my hobby endeavours (and gaming adventures) in Kings of War. As for my armies, my first love is my yellow-black human army (as seen here) which has grown to over 10,000 points Kings of War. My other … Continue reading Welcome to my blog!
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
Just a quick hobby update: I’ve mentioned before that the goblin army box I got as a gift wasn’t high quality as it’s very early mantic stuff. (probably the start-of-company goblin box, somewhere in 2013 or 2014). (https://kingsofwarvince.business.blog/2018/12/16/the-curious-case-of-my-goblin-detachment-1/) while this remains true for the goblin spitters and sharpsticks (same base model) it is most definately … Continue reading Quick hobby update – goblin biggit.
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
Update jan'20 As I finished a unit of light cavalry, I added these guys underneath the post. Also changed the point allowances for KoW 3rd edition. Original post: Intro Back in 2012 or so - when I still played Warhammer instead of Kings of War- my brother got me an army he bought from ebay … Continue reading Kingdoms of men – the creation of an army
EDIT: This post was written under Kings of War 2nd edition rules. Kings of War 3rd edition army composition may be different, thereby invalidating some of the below post's army composition. -post copied from the Mantic forum just a day before it goes down- A friend gave me a goblin army box. It;s one of … Continue reading How to get a 1,500 point army from a army box
Early 2018, I wanted to do a goblin detachment. The reasoning was threefold: a) A buddy gave me a goblin battalion to build as he didn't like the minis. And frankly, he's right. The early Mantic goblins are abysmal. The stuff I see on the interweb from these days is much better, but the early … Continue reading The curious case of my goblin detachment (1)
