Did I just miss the posting? But has mantic released a date for companion updates to the forces of abyss? Getting the new models and looking to create some new lists.

I got the new CoK, but I'm so spoiled by playing with army building in the companion that going back to spreadsheets is pretty unappealing.

IIRC the street date for CoK was this past Monday.

Have not played aos in years, and discovered there is a local KoW scene in my town. In an effort to save money, I'd like to re-use existing models try out the game.

However, the only army I have is spiderfang.

I have 30 spider riders, 4 araknorok spiders (one with shaman, two with either catapult or empty back, and a fourth with now Howda. Two shaman on foot, and a goblin cheif on gigantic spider.

I also have 10 orc with spear and shield from kruleboyz, with a boss on gnashtooth, shaman, 20 hobgrots, 3 orcs with crossbow, and orc banner bearer.

Does any of this translate into stuff I can use in kow? I'm happy to re-base everything onto unit bases. I have no desire to play aos again atm, especially as my Forrest goblins had some units go to legends.

Thanks for all your help!

I’m considering getting into this game and wanted to clarify if I just buy the newest Clash of Kings alongside the Core book and that will have all the rules needed.

I'm getting disillusioned with GW, and want to dive into Kings of War. I was looking at Northern Alliance. Would the Army set, Ambush starter, or the two player Ambush set be the best starting purchase?

Super new player here and I just had a pretty rough game and there aren't too many resources online to learn some strategies. Was hoping reddit could help out a little.

List

x2 Regiment spearmen x1 Regiment Paladins sword and board x1 Regiment Elohi 5 df x1 Horde ogre guards x2 Regiment paladins knights x1 Dictator x1 Priest x1 Samacris x1 Paladin on Dragon

This is all I really have at the moment. I just need some help on general tips, strategies, and maybe future units to invest in.

Will this box give me everything I need? I see it comes with "Kings of War NEW Gamer’s Edition 2022 rulebook " , is the Clash of Kings 2024 required? Is that updated rules?

Hey all, I am here to ask for advice on expanding my collection of undead and basilea. I currently have two armies of 2k each to play against each other with my gf.

Basilea:

-3x paladin foot guardian regiment

-2x men at arms spearman regiment

-2x sisterhood scout troops

-2x elohi regiment

-2x ogre palace guard regiment

-2x paladin knight troops

-priest

-high paladin

Undead:

-1x revenant horde

-2x mummy regiments

-2x soul reaver infantry troops

-1x wraith regiments

-2x revenant Cavalry troops

-1x werewolf horde

-2x wights regiments

-2x balefire catapults

-necromancer

-revenant king

What units would you recommend I add?

The Mantic Universe Podcast has started to post their pods on YT, posting 1 a day until they caught up to present day (72 days).

This might not be for everyone, but for those who are needing more KoW in their lives...there is this option

Enjoy, folks :)

Hello,

Relatively new comer. Played my first game today using just models from the NA army set I bought secondhand from a friend who had bought too many armies. Long story short, I’m hooked and plan to flesh out my army.

One thing I was noticing is it looks like if I’m using Mantic only models, the clan dwarfs sure don’t fit the same aesthetic since they’re from the other dwarf line. I see a handful of vanguard dwarves that better look the part but they’re spending to get a whole regiment.

Do any other Northern Alliance players here happen to have a link to STLs of some dwarf minis that better fit the northern look and feel? I understand KoW is somewhat miniature agnostic so I hope I’m not getting into any trouble for asking about an alternative for some units.

I bought the Ice and Shadow starter set for me and my son to start playing KOW. The 'Getting Started' guide recommends the following list for the NA:

Northern Alliance [605 / 2000 (1395 Remaining)] ~ List Invalid ~ ~ Too many Troop / Irregular entries for selected Regiment, Hordes and Legions

Northern Alliance [605]

Half-Elf Berserkers (Infantry) Troop [115]

Ice Kin Hunters (Infantry) Troop [145]

Human Tribesmen (Infantry) Regiment [150]

Frostclaw Riders* (Large Cavalry) Regiment [145]

Thegn (Hero (Heavy Infantry)) 1 [50]

As you can see when I enter this into the list builder on the Mantic app the list is invalid?

Why recommend an invalid list? Does it matter?

Hey guys! I am new in this game I had try skirmish because I had found only this scenario. Do you know any other scenarios I could try? Thank you 😊

I'm an idiot and can't work this out: on the plastic Ogre Warriors sprue, how can I tell which arms go with which hands? Any help appreciated.

I am trying to learn this awesome game and here is a go at my first list. Would love some feedback on what works and what doesn't and most importantly why. I have left some points for artifacts, I am lost when it comes to picking them at this point.

Sorry to be posting and then not being around to interact with comments until tomorrow but I will get back on here if anyone is kind enough to impart any wisdom.
