So would the following conversions be correct for these armies going from Old World to Kings of War?

Beastmen - The Herd

Empire - Kingdoms of Men

Choas - ??? I don't know about this one.

Hey everybody! I'm looking to find/build a group on Facebook to organize players in the state. I'm based in Aurora, but want to try and get more time to play and with other people than my "usual crew".

Mods, if this is not allowed, please delete this post, but I'm the moderator of the Illinois and Chicagoland Kings of War group and want to get the word out. Thanks in advance and keep counter-charging everyone.

So, I'm still working on expanding my Kings of War Empire of Dust army and while perusing the Companion came across this upgrade for Skeleton Warriors called Restless Souls of the Raia.

Restless Souls of the Raia - The unit gains the Blast (D3) and Crushing (1) Special Rules. The unit also gains the following ranged attack: Hand Cannons: 12” Ra: 5+, Att: 8, Blast (D3), Piercing (2) for +85 pts. This upgrade may not be taken with two-handed weapons. [1] [+85]

There is no mention of the unit or upgrade on Mantic's Website. A google search took me to a website called Miniset.net which provided the following info. Arkhanten and the Restless Souls of the Raia from Mantic games (mg-web693) | Miniset.net - Miniatures Collectors Guide

The webpage indicates this was for the Edge of the Abyss summer campaign and the article is dated from 2017.

Anyone ever use or get this set? Would you consider it valid for use currently and what would you do to model it? From the description I'm guessing they're supposed to be undead pirates and while the picture at Miniset shows spear and shield skeleton warriors with a standard, from the entry on the companion I'm guessing they're supposed to be sword and board with pistols instead?

I'm also a little fuzzy on the abilities granted by the upgrade. The unit gains Blast (D3) and Crushing (1) and a Ranged Attack with 12" range, 5+ to hit on 8 attack dice also with Blast (d3) and Piercing (2). So this means both the ranged attack and the melee attacks made by the unit have Blast (d3)?

Hey, this may be a long shot, but does anyone have some sort of alternate file for Frostclaw Riders? I’ve assembled a decent amount of Mantics and am wanting to find some more variety in my regiments.

Tickets for the world's largest Kings of War tournament go on sale 1st Feb at 3pm - make sure you get yours if you're planning in coming - they sold out in 10 hours last year (no, not kidding) so you don't want to be left out!

I just today got my Abyssal New Force Expan.... I mean Ambush box, and I went over to the companion to see what they would do to my list.

It doesn't look like either of the 2025 book Abyssal units are in there yet.

Do we have an ETA? Or is this another of those "please stop asking, it'll happen when it happens" things?

Hi! I'm taking a Varangur army to a tournament in March and I'd like to get more into the army background. Does here know if the Varangur feature much in any of the published novels/stories set in the world of Pannithor?

Hey, I'm planning to slowly get into KoW by playing Ambush and growing from there. I have a couple of friends who are interested in playing, but aren't about to buy and paint an army.

I really like the look and lore of the Halflings, so I would like buy and play them. What would be a good army to pair with them for balanced games and to show off how KoW works?

I'm kinda leaning towards Ogers or Empire of Dust, but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks very much for your help!

I've bought the Orc mega army package some while ago and I somehow struggle with start painting it. I've painted a fair share of minis before (but still learning and improving), but somehow I'm totally blocked with those guys. What's supposed to skin, leather or metal? I can't wrap my head around it.

Anybody has some good references how they'll look painted? Any guidance or tips are highly appreciated.

I've noticed a fair number of discrepancies between mantic's online list builder on their website vs. the printed version of the rules I recently purchased. Normally I would think the online builder is more accurate, but this is a brand new printing of the rules (copyright 2024) and there are a LOT of differences. Far more issues than I would like to believe could make it through to the final printing. Is there an official ruling on which is correct?

Im building a list for a 3000 point 4or6 player battle, any suggestions for the list?

So I've been playing for a little while and have been working slowly with different lists but when I'm playing against one player who's into min-maxing. I have done that in the past in other games but KoW is currently for the fun and I'm trying to find what I need to improve in my list,

Also I've just removed The Infernok and Dravak from the list to add another iron caster and titan

Hi everyone. I'm trying to kitbash some fantasy cavalry and the dam buster models look ideal. However I want to have a look at the sprue before purchasing. Does anyone know if mantic publish these or could anyone send a photo on the off chance they have them lying around?

https://www.manticgames.com/kings-of-war/trident-realm/dambusters/

The box says it comes with 40 warriors but counting them there are 12 sprues of 3 axe and shields (so 36) but then there are 5 sprues of 2 halberds (so 10). Planning to do 3 regiments of 15 anyway on scenic multibases but just a bit confused.

Trying to find how to tell what units are considered "epic". Are they units with [1] ? Or Titans? Etd.

Any players in the Twin cities, looking for a war game and trying to decide if Kings or War is right for me.
