Conquering Kings Of War – Legions Tactics
February 5, 2016 by dignity
We're back with Rich from Mantic talking about how to play with your Legions in Kings of War. These units are a massive hammer blow to the opponent but they can be trapped and draw a lot of fire from the enemy.
We'll be looking at both their advantages and their disadvantages in battle.

That’s not the correct footprint for a legion. It should be the same with as a horde but two ranks deeper. 200 x 120mm for zombies.
I don’t really like to be negative here, but if you’re doing a tactics video, you should get the very basic components right.
These vids were all made before the 2nd ed rules were finalised, so they were available to start going out when the rules were released. Which is a good plan. Unfortunately it also means they are all a bit wrong, and this one has a particularly noticeable gaff because of the unit sizing.
It’s a shame really, it was all done with best intentions.
That long ago?
The 2nd edition physical books came out in september 2015, or even earlier (I’m pretty sure the digital version could be downloaded in august).
Was this really recorded almost half a year ago (!) to be released now?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be a good thing to mention in the video, or at least add it in an annotation afterwards, that this tactical discussion is not based on finalized rules?
Finding all of these KoW a bit pointless to be honest, showing nothing but the obvious which is also the tactics used in every wargame.
I think they may be of interest to people not yet playing (the bolt action boot camp vids were what convinced me to get into that game).
