Ronnie & Mantic Talk Kings Of War 2nd Edition Kickstarter!
November 5, 2014 by brennon
While Mantic Games have still been rather tight lipped as to the actual changes to the rules for Kings of War 2nd Edition and it's upcoming Kickstarter they have talked about what will actually be involved in the campaign...
The focus is aimed at bringing you the new rulebook with an entry level pledge that grabs you the hardback book, nice and simple. This will have all the information you'll need to play the game and will even get itself a limited edition run. There will also be a soft cover 'Battle Book' that you'll be able to take to the gaming table to save you lugging around some massive tome.
As well as that there will be pledge levels to get you started with a full on army from the range and as you might imagine with Mantic the stretch goals would offer up a whole host of new miniatures and extras. Check out the video from Ronnie too above!
The campaign will begin next week and run into December so not long to wait. It does make you think about where Warpath fits into ll of this though, if anywhere!
Will you be pledging?

Fantastic! 😀 I’ll be looking forward to this.
You hear that sound? That’s the money leaving my bank account.
Ditto
Ohhhhh…
I decided that I was done with Kickstarters for a while after all that Dungeon Saga lunacy.
Then Mantic go and pull something like this…
damn, there go the budget 😉
Looking forward to it
It is good to see Mantic doing so well and revisiting the really solid Kings of War ruleset in order to consolidate the various expansions and update the lore. I expect great things, and I am confident that I will not be disappointed.
Love it, but i hope they will keep basic rules and armies for free as they use to, having half of the magic items in the free book leave me with a odd taste, i bought the pdf rules anyway and there is army builders around anyway.
Good news for Kings of War. This is how you keep a Game relevant some other companies might learn something from this. Is it just me or Should Ronnie run for Parliament.
really hoping Kings of War gains more traction. with WHFB having a new must have book every few months I think having an accessable, affordable alternative cant be a bad thing.
Here, here. 🙂
Super glad I shelled out on the hardback 3 weeks ago…
I think this may very well be my first Kickstarter ever!!!
I love what they’ve done with the game and,more than anything else, the the respect and attention they show to the community and wargamers generally.
