can i a get a kings of war thread

>>96231127 (OP)
I don’t know, can you?

>>96231127 (OP)
That model looks cool and I've yet to know of kings of war. Sell it to me anon. What is kings of war and why do you like it?

someone should post their models

>>96231127 (OP)
Ophidia when? Fantasy Arabs aren't exactly a saturated market.

>tfw you will never wage war with your best mates on the back of a rampaging hellbeast

>>96231464
Rank n flank with it's own charms like ramshackle vehicle goblins and mercenary ogres that post your bills before they smack you

*blocks ur path*

How do you engage?

>>96231864
Hell yeah, another Abyssal Dwarf appreciator!

>>96231464
>>96231889
Why should I play KoW as my "Rank n' Flank" game instead of Warhammer the Old World which has now been brought back from the dead?

>>96231919
>open model
>no casualty removal, meaning each unit can be a diorama
Also the lore is elf Chad get rejected by human Becky and this causes hell to spill over.

>>96231919
We have frogs that ride toads into battle

>>96231904
I need that model so bad. Probably gonna buy it next month

>>96232040
I have the STL but no way to print it, so I might have to buy it.

>>96232095
>I have the STL
what graham cracker group?

>>96231127 (OP)
Has there been any new clash book? Any new lore? Last time I played they released the dark elfs.

Been thinking about starting up KoW, but with 6-10mm minis instead. Only problem I'm facing is the lack of Abyssal Dwarf options at that scale, that doesn't require a 3D printer.

>>96232937
I'm surprised that Mantic hasn't tried to make a 10mm scale Kings of War yet as their whole thing seems to be being a middle finger to GW.

>>96231464
Sort of like a streamlined version of WFB with Hail Caesar's morale/unit destruction, so there's no casualty removal just an accumulation if wounds/fatigue that increasing put the unit at risk of breaking. Magic is a bit more reliable too.

List building tends to boil down to identifying which units are good at being"anvils" and which are good "hammers" and then in game trying to outmaneovre your opponent, with a bit of risk/reward based on how well you can keep your line holding.

I have only played a couple games, so the above is just my impression from talking with more experienced players. I had fun with my games though.

>>96233174
They're making a tiny Warpath.

>all the gods split into Lawful Angels and Chaotic Demons
>the one who made the mirror quickly traps his good counterpart, rules hell as the Lord of Lies
>basically the apocalypse happens
>Kings of War starts a few centuries later
>all the old civilisations are dead but there's Not Byzantium run by Angel Summoners and Fascist Dwarves (separate to the Chaotic Dwarves)

So basically, everything bad that happens is because of an elf who wanted to get his dick wet.

>>96233226
I like how the elves didn't stop fucking humans. It's still expected that an elf would have a fee human families before settling with their elf one. And most elves have some human ancestry.
This also plays into how elves that teach human magic end up marrying their pupils most of the time. Unfortunately one of these humans was Mhorgoth the necromancer whom used his powers for evil.
The dwarves thinks they're all weirdos.

>>96231900
I feel like ogres are underated as proxies for really brutish chaos warriors, and I feel like ogres arent painted in other colours enough to work in other systems

Is mantic popular in Europe? It's essentially non-existent in the US. I have no idea how the company can survive with how large their model range is.

How likely is mantic gonna phase out units and which ones are most likely to receive the axe? I collect undead.

>>96233510
They really are cool sculpts. You could do a lot with them to make them more nasty. I was thinking WGA dead animal bits with these heads and spikes, eh?

Mantic has a big problem with TERRIBLE studio paintjobs. They do a disservice to their current models, which are actually pretty good sculpts. The new abyssal nagarri and berserkers would actually go together well with frostgrave demons. That would make for a pretty cohesive army.

>>96233801
They got their start selling Temu Warhammer Fantasy proxies to the cheap fags who would be 3D printing now

But I have no idea how they survived after WHFB died. I guess some of the people desperate for a rank and wank replacement went to Mantic

>>96234118
From what I've gathered the rules mantic publish are actually good, while the models used to be really bad, pic related.

>>96234107
Yeah, their paintjobs are lackluster. They need a cohesive style that brings the ranges together, but oh well.

So what is everyone working on? I have some skeles and dorfs

>>96234735
>dorfs
I unironically like Mantic's dwarf designs and I hope every single one of them gets an STL send off before they get updated.

>>96234746
They have a lot of character. Also nice solid blocks of features to paint

>>96234735

Finishing up these abyssal dwarfs before my vacation trip. Been procrastinating with them to be honest.

>>96235016

Here's a better photo. Still need to dunk them in nuln oil to give them a more desaturated look.

>>96234735
I have an Abyssal Dwar, Elf and Empire of Dust armies I work on here and there. Considering buying the Dwarf Mega Army too. I also own Plague from Warzone, and I am considering buying Forge Fathers because I love the Space Dwarf look they make.

Best 28mm skeleton archer proxies for an undead army please?
I think Mantic discontinued their metal and plastic skeleton archers.
I've been eyeing the Oathmark skeletons, but I'm not sure if they fit on 20mm bases.

>>96235422
Love me forge fathers

>>96235435
Snipped this guy for ya. He is on 25mm but this is the widest stance and you could snip off the edges to fit 20mm I'd imagine.

>>96235874
>phoneposting

>>96235874
Fixed that hopefully

>>96235874
>>96236014
Thank you anon I appreciate it.
I think I’ll just go with the multibasing aspect of kings of war. If snipping close to their feet doesn’t work.

>>96235831
Hell yeah, Anon! I mainly want them for Grimdark Future, but I have been meaning to learn how to play the Mantic Sci-fi games as well. Forge Fathers have a great line, outside of the motorcycle troops.

>>96231127 (OP)
I never played it but this model looks cool and I want it.

>>96231971
Why tho

>>96236640
You need to fight off the forces of hell somehow

>>96232937
Where do you find STLs for 10mm for factions? I'd love to start doing the same for but RFO or just regular orcs.

Thread died way too quickly. F.

KoW

W

Multibasing is the greatest part of the game.

>>96245386
It's been helped a lot by 3d prints.

COMES THE STORM AND HAMMER!!!!!!

It concerns me how so many metal kits are not being sold on the Mantic webstore.

>>96237228
Cults3d, stlfinder. etsy, the usual
