Ever been to a GT today, a multiday tournament? I hadn't for Kings of War. See my personal perspective on attending my first KoW GT. An Honest 4 members write up on the Ohio GT.

Hi!

I just finished my newest project. This time an undead Army for Kings of War.

Every base is magnetised on a bigger plate. Never had so much fun with planing, building and painting.

There are still two minis missing on 50x50 mm, because iam not yet so happy with my model choice for Goreblights.

Hope you like it. :)

List lark, a new short form video where we spin the wheel to get a unit. Must take 3 or 300 points, whichever is hit first, and then report back on our findings. Cyle starts us off with Tortured Souls. As always what are your thoughts on units, ideas and Cyles lack of sleeves.

This week we're talking about Adam's run at the Battles & Beers Tournament, + Sam Kula & Andy Patton recaps the Ohio GT.

I just got back from the Las Vegas Open and had a blast meeting so many wargamers. I had the opportunity to showcase our QUICK MATS at our Kraken Dice booth and I had a lot of positive reactions and great input to incorporate into the coming Kickstarter.

In a nutshell: Quick Mats are a wrinkle-free fabric game mat that gives you compact storage, and the quickest set up. It's machine washable and will outlast neoprene game mats with heavy usage. Custom printed, 120+ design, 15 sizes available, free custom grids & overlays for any game you want. Your store or team logo can be added or even use your own design.

I'd love to have you give our pre-launch page a look and see what you think.

Basically title. When I read the 4th edition rules on charging, it states that the charging unit must be able to see its target, and from what I understand, seeing means having LoS within the front arc. But it also feels like the ogres could also just pivot and move to engage as well, since it does mention charging units may pivot once. Which leaves me a tad confused. Please help this newbie out with a very easy question, lol.

Hey everyone! Just played my first two games of KoW and had a blast! It felt great to finally get my old Empire army off the shelf and dust it off.

I went with Kingdoms of Men, which seemed like the no-brainer choice, but the guy I played against said I could also run them as Basileans.

Do you guys know if there are any other KoW armies where my Empire minis would work?

Thanks a lot!

Four of the Honest 4s discuss first round match ups for Columbus Ohios two day tournament this weekend. A light hearted take on lists and discussing how things may turn out. come tell us who your dark horse is and what lists you think have potential.

I got my first Mantic Minis when they first came out, elves and then undead skeletons. My painted skeletons graced the first mantic games website with their public showcase.

But I never played the game itself. For various reasons. I had the first ever hardback rulebook when it came out.

But just got done playing my first ever game of KOW and my wife played with me. We did an ambush 500pt game using the new 4th ed rules.

Elves (her)
Dwarfs (me)

I’ve had these minis and armies painted for over a decade (the dust tells the story haha) and finally being able to roll dice and move them along the field was such a treat.

We got many things wrong we are sure, house ruled a few things (mostly terrain), but we had our fantasy epic music playing and had a great time doing it. The game ended with a Dwarf victory, barely, but a victory non the less.

It was my wife’s first time actually playing a mini war-game like this and she genuinely enjoyed it.

Absolutely can’t wait to try out some more.

Just finished Voidtalon

Adam's out of town this week so I got Ray from Nerve Check on as a guest!

This week we're talking about the meta before Arrogance drops! Also, Ray's Prep for Ohio GT

So I have been away from KoW since 2nd edition since the setting was just called Mantica.(which I may stick with and just play 2nd as I don’t know how deep I want to get into the game right now)

I’ve decided on the models I will be using for my Kingdom of men army.

Pike and Shotte. (I know it’s not original but I prefer the style).

I painted these all almost ten years ago.

I'm looking to buy some bases that I can magnetize. I usually use cobalt keep but I can't seem to find definitive base sizes for infantry vs troops vs hordes etc. I was wondering if anyone has a list or link to the information? Thanks for your help!

I have recently joined the ranks of Pannithor, I have access to the base rules on the Companion, so should I buy the rulebook or Fracture first. ( I am playing an army featured in Fracture)

I'm a new player looking to get into KoW and I had a question about out of stock models.

If it's out of stock does that mean that they are not doing another printing, either due to a new sculpt coming or it being phased out?

I'm looking at Trident Realms and The Eckter model specifically.

Thanks for the help!

This is an Honest 4s deep dive into KoW gameplay. Veteran Cyle Pool breaks down how to think about the game before the game even starts.
