Kings of War is fast replacing WHFB as my go to game nowadays and it helps that my Wood Elves can be used in Kings of War without any changes. This morning Mantic officially announced that their Skaven Army list (aka Ratmen) was now in Beta and would appear in a expansion book for Kings of War Second edition called "Kings of War: Uncharted Empires", i however call it "Warhammer Armies in Kings of War" mainly because this 64 page book promises to contain lists for:
1. The League of Rhordia (Dogs of War)
2. Ratkin (Skaven)
3. The Brotherhood (Brettiona)
4. The Empire of Dust (Tomb Kings)
5. Reptilians (Lizardmen)
6. The Herd (Beastmen)
7. The Varangur (Warriros of Chaos)
Given that all the other WHFB races already have lists in the 2nd Edition Rulebook this basically means that if you have a WHFB army you now also have a Kings of War Army.
Here is the link for the Beta Skaven List
If you are a WHFB player and mourn the loss of WHFB as a supported game system then give Mantic and Kings of War a go, i will be doing a detailed review of the Kings of War 2nd Edition Rulebook when i get it later on in the month.
Before i go i just wanted to announce that this blog now has Twitter Account, follow this link
to go to the account or search for the TheDiceOdyssey (all one word),
it will be mainly used to announce new posts, show off models that i
have recently finished painting an allow me to express thoughts to small
to warrant their own post. Until next time.

I look forward to your review of Kings of War. I've been looking into it since WHFB went belly up and it looks promising.
ReplyDeleteIts THE Fantasy massed battle game now that WHFB is gone, and mantic is a excellent company
DeleteBeen reading the beta rules. Think I could get into it. A bit thinner than 8th ed, but what the heck. My armies are usable and no longer obsolete. Looking at the 9th Age Alpa rules...
