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)
These are the blogs I read on occasion. Expect this list to grow over time as I now have to keep track of this stuff without resorting to the Mantic forums. None of the pictures in this blogpost are mine (unlike the rest of my blog) as they are all owned by the linked blog … Continue reading Linked blogs
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. " … Continue reading Ze Army of Darknezz; part one
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.
Kopied from the Mantic website - original content march 2018 What do we have here? Recentely, I painted up a horde of Shock troops as a gift to my brother. I do collect / play enough armies, but I wanted to paint a horde of ratkin for once. When he fixed my PC for … Continue reading Ratkin – horde of shock troops
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
edit of june 2019: some of the pictures had been gone. I've replaced them. Copied from the Mantic Forum: I want to preserve my tutorial "how to multibase" as it helps out newer players a lot. This is a post from summer '18 which I copied over from the Mantic forums which are (probably) going … Continue reading Tutorial: how to multibase
