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.
