jesselowe Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 I'm curious to know how many Kings of War players (or people interested in playing the rules with their WFB armies) are on the board. I've a half-painted Undead army that might be looking for skulls to crush. Quote
indytims Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 At some point i would definitely love to try the game. I am told there is a 'ratman' list i can use with my skaven. :] Quote
generalripphook Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 I could do it with my lord of the rings miniatures like these fellows did http://wwww.one-ring.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29915&start=0 Quote
Threejacks Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Im in! Got a Gobbo list and can do an Undead one,also waiting on my Basilean army release along with the 2nd ed stuff this August. Id be up for some learning games after OFCC is done:) Quote
Gordianus Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 I have Kingdom of Men (Empire) and a smallish Dwarf contingent. I also have an Abyssal Dwarf army and Forces of the Abyss army on the way from the Kick Starter. Bro G and I have played a few games and I really like the game. Easy to learn hard to master.

Brother Glacius Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 V2 is about to drop with their army lists. They are working on a book that will contain lists for GW armies and even historical armies. I've got a fairly limited elf army for KoW, dwarfs, undead, orcs and goblins. I can use the nature list for my beasts I think or maybe the orc list. Quote
Andrewgeddon Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 If there is anyone on the Vancouver side of town playing who's willing to give me a teaching game, I would love to try it out. Quote
Brother Glacius Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Gordi is over there..he could probably meet at Dice Age. :) 1 Quote
Andrewgeddon Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Have the lists been released for using Warhammer factions with KoW, other than what they currently sell? I saw Kingdom of Men, was wondering about Ogres / Beastmen ;) Quote
Brother Glacius Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 KoW has inherent lists for ogres, orcs, goblins, empire-ish, undead, chaos dwarfs, dwarfs, elves(wood+high), nature, angels, and deamons. They are reworking their dark elf list. There are lists for GW armies for V1, but I don't think anyone has V2 ones yet. And since Mantic has said they are putting out their own versions, I think most people will wait for them. They should include chaos warriors, lizards, skaven, brets.....maybe beastmen. I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting the ogre army...I got the deamon one instead. I think the ogres are going to be a tough force to play against. Monstrous Infantry are just nasty. Quote

Cool, I have full Empire and Ogre armies already, eager to see how they translate to KoW :) Quote
Gordianus Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Here are some more links for the rules and army lists. Current KOW V2 rules: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=21AFEBFC9F9B9322!13419&ithint=file%2cpdf&app=WordPdf&authkey=!AA65yYAaNDyt4KE Current V2 Army Lists: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nhZLDFOHUXC2MCA6NwYQWr0HF2mSyvEWIlNH4oCtBeQ/edit#gid=95797511 Additional Army Lists (Halfing/Rats/Beastmen): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XgQY5vVHs_V19N_2lsrpk59SIF9hi6_KDBqkmyitRro/edit#gid=689349073 I can't wait for the kickstarter stuff to get here. The first stuff (book and Abyssal Dwarfs) should be here sometime this month (fingers crossed). Have to wait on the forces of the Abyss and the dragon I ordered. 1 Quote
Peanut Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 This game looks really cool - I'm not sure Age of Sigmar is going to do it for me. I'd love to give this a try. Quote
Andrewgeddon Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 2nd Edition rules will be available for free download on July 10th. Looking forward to checking them out! http://manticblog.com/2015/07/03/try-kings-of-war-for-free/ Quote
Sammy Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 I'm waiting on the kickstarter stuff to ship, but I'm excited to get some skeletons assembled and painted! Quote
Threejacks Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 2nd Edition rules will be available for free download on July 10th. Looking forward to checking them out! http://manticblog.com/2015/07/03/try-kings-of-war-for-free/ Humm..Ive had the KoW2 rules on my Shield for a few months,,those must be the Beta version. Quote
Andrewgeddon Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Humm..Ive had the KoW2 rules on my Shield for a few months,,those must be the Beta version. I've looked around for the rules for 2nd Ed and I was only able to find the beta rules, so I think that's what is floating around. I could be mistaken though. Quote
Grom20 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 This looks like it could be fun...if AofS doesn't work for me I will have to check this out! Quote
jesselowe Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 I guess I'd better get my undead painted, then. Quote
Brother Glacius Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Two more days until the rules are free online for V2. Quote
Andrewgeddon Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Two more days until the rules are free online for V2. Eager to check them out. I'm curious if Kingdom of Men will get more unit entries than the list I saw... I've got a big block of Flagellants that I would love to use Quote
Brother Glacius Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Well originally it had Empire and Bret units in it. I think for V2 they trimmed it down quite a bit. However, due to GW's exit of fantasy battle, I think Mantic will probably include missing units from the Empire book in their "other games armies" book. Quote
JMGraham Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Looking forward to trying it! If the new lists are anything like the old lists, it appears that I could take a Wood Elf army that closely resembled my old 7th ed one, and have it be enjoyable. Mantic is also a really great company that has always been fan-positive. Quote
pretre Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 http://www.manticgames.com/free-rules.html Rules are up. 1 Quote
