Grab Kings Of War 2nd Edition For Free July 10th!
July 5, 2015 by brennon
Mantic Games have decided that they're going to unleash the world of Kings of War 2nd Edition on tabletops sooner rather than later. The new edition of the rules will be up for download FOR FREE on July 10th all being well.
In preparation for the coming of 2nd Edition the Mantic team have been building some armies of their own too. Both Ronnie and Dave from their team have put together little blog posts about their armies coming to life. If you like both Dwarfs and Goblins then they have some nice models already painted up.
Not bad looking armies at all. We've got a lot more Kings of War content in the pipeline so watch out for the continuation of the Conquering Kings of War series in the coming weeks if you fancy joining us in the Fantasy world of Mantica where mighty forces clash.
Are you going to be starting a new army for Kings of War this summer?
Let us know below.

Started work on basileans already.
Of course they wanted to release it as soon as they could, they will be able to scoop up a (probably) sizeable portion of former WHFB players. Smart move.
This has been the release window for a long time. It’s release is just coincidentally alongside GW’s.
Mantic will most likely be rubbing their hands in delight at the timing. Particularly given just how well things accidentally lined up, second edition had this planned release window for over a year now. While there were only rumors GW would do something new that got some kind of confirmation 3-4 weeks ago. Whatever the case, KoW 2.0 is looking to be a cleaned up, rebalanced, expanded update of a great mass combat system I can recommend to any regiment-loving tabletop gamer out there. Great as a secondary system as well and very open to creative reuse of old models… Read more »
Yeah, I can imagine things are looking well for Mantic right now.
I don’t think they would have timed it this way on purpose- I mean, how could they have known that GW was going to make Warhammer into a game with no point values?
Already have undead and Twilight kin armies. Now I’m adding lizards, chaos dwarfs *cough* I mean abyssal dwarfs and ratmen.
I’m working on an Ogre army (need a few more Ogres, and some animal minis from other companies), I have Elves and Undead in a box waiting their turn, and now I want Force of Nature as well. It’s not a problem!
mantic I am faltterd but I was going to buy kings of war any way……you scamps;)
Awesomesauce. 🙂
I can finally get my Kingdoms of Men army lists sorted. 😀
Just seeing those pics has got me all misty eyed for WFB ;). Luckily I’ve got KoW coming from the KS – looking forward to exploring it 😀
Can’t wait to actually get the new rule book and minis. The beta was good fun with play testing, it’s now time to get some games organised with events and tournaments. Moving around Brisbane soon!
