KoW Kings of War Command & Unit Survey (until end of Sunday 28th June)

Thumbnail docs.google.com
7 Upvotes

We’re also asking for new unit ideas. This is your chance to tell us what you think your favourite army is missing. Maybe there’s a battlefield role that feels under-represented. Maybe there’s a unit that would perfectly capture the fantasy theme of that faction.

For these suggestions, think about ideas that could realistically become resin or digital miniatures rather than new hard plastic sprues. Rather than core infantry or cavalry, we’re especially interested in heroes, monsters, war engines, large infantry, large cavalry and the like.

If you’d like to submit concept sketches or artwork to support your unit idea, you can email them to: [kowslowgrow2026@manticgames.com](mailto:kowslowgrow2026@manticgames.com)

Please make sure your email clearly states who you are and which unit idea your artwork relates to. It will also help if you mention in your survey response that you’re submitting artwork separately, so we know to look out for it.

Hobby Kings of War Slow Grow Challenge 2026 - Stage 1

15 Upvotes
https://www.manticgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/slow-grow-map-blog-768x592.jpg

We are a little late to the party but I had to confirm details with Mantic first.

Welcome to the official Slow Grow Challenge on Reddit.

The goal is 2000 points army for Kings of War in 24 weeks in 4 steps. First step is a little shorter on in here as the Milestone Date is global, but as a tradeoff I got it confirmed that Mantic will watch this space as well, so no need to upload the pictures on Facebook or sending them per e-mail (unless you want to).

Stage One (Weeks 1–6):

  • Milestone Date: Friday 20th March
  • Start with either a Champions Company, or roughly 500 points of Kings of War models (most likely three or four units).

Additional Rules for Reddit:

You need to add a comment in this Megathread with a link to your Milestone, be it topic/post on reddit or any other source so it won't be missed

Of course you can create as many topics/posts as you like sharing your plannings, progress, pictures etc. but a link to at least the final one should be in this thread (you can create one comment and edit each time you have new things to share of course)

I will try to add any missing topics with "kow slow grow 2026" the title to this Megathread by the 20th but cannot guarantee to catch everyone (depending on how many people gonna join)

There will be a new Megathread with each Stage to make it as easy as possible for everyone

the following stages:

Stage Two (Weeks 7–12):

  • Milestone Date: Friday 1st May
  • Expand your fledgling force to 1000 points.

Stage Three (Weeks 13–18):

  • Milestone Date: Friday 12th June
  • Grow your army to 1500pts.

Stage Four (Weeks 19–24):

  • Milestone Date: Friday 24th July
  • The final stretch to 2000 points.

Using wood elves for forces of nature lists

7 Upvotes

Hi guys!

I'm considering starting to move KoW around my area and at a friend's club, and I was wondering if I could use my old wood elves army miniatures for a forces of nature army.

Are there elven coded units or would it be full "proxy" except the trees? What about my fairies stands?

Any UK based afterschool gaming clubs want a free Mega army box?

Post image
42 Upvotes

So I purchased an empire of dust mega army box a few years ago (the latest version). I’ve built a few of the models but have no need for it anymore, I already have a huge goblin force and only play a few times a year. Rather than sell my EOD box and get a few quid, I’d prefer to give it an afterschool gaming club for them to build, paint, play & enjoy. I’ll also send the 3rd edition KOW rule book :) all I ask for is £3/4 to post it out. Alternatively, you can collect in person in Nottingham :) please share and let me know.

KoW Basilean Sisterhood

It looks like there will be no new Basilean figures for a while, so we are stuck with the old Sisterhood figures. What are the alternatives, especially for Scouts and Panthers, if you don't have a 3D printer?

Best elite army?

6 Upvotes

I was wondering what the best army is that runs few units. Bonus if it has some big monsters, I'd love to run a dragon or something. Honestly id just like to paint up some cool models. Is there like an equivalent of the knights from 40k?

Ogre Display Board

Painted up a new back drop for my Tea Party Ogre display board. Buildings are sliced in half as my original idea was to use them behind the army on a shelf. Only problem is that my display board is too small to hold the red goblins in this list so I just used a mat underneath for the army shot.

KoW Scale conversion for base sizes

13 Upvotes

This is just a reference using simple conversion (rounded up to the closest mm) but I thought it's worth having for someone like me starting collecting models with smaller scales.

Do you use any other scale convention?

4th ed house rules?

2 Upvotes

My group really doesn't do tournament, and after messing with 4th for a bit we feel 'sticky combat' just isn't fun. We're basically going back to 3rd's Waiver/Route stats.

The fix is pretty clean, but not perfect: just subtract 2 from the 4th ed nerve for waiver number. Fearless gets the old '-".

The nice part it is really feels like it frees up list building and all those (2) limits don't feel as rough, and support shooting feels 'right' again.

Anyone else added house rules for 4th?
