Mantic Games’ Kings Of War Gets NEW Big Red Book For 2022
September 6, 2022 by brennon
Ronnie took to YouTube yesterday to tell folks about a brand new book coming to Mantic Games' Fantasy wargame, Kings Of War. Importantly, this big red book is not a new edition but instead collects together everything from the last few years of the latest edition and throws a few extra bits and pieces in there too for good measure.
Kings Of War Update // Mantic Games
This new book collects together information from Clash Of Kings, Halpi's Rift and Uncharted Empires alongside FAQs and Errata so that everything is included within one book. This means that you won't have to carry a library's worth of books around with you when you're wargaming and instead simply have to refer to one book.
Kings Of War 2022 // Mantic Games
This takes the place of a new Clash Of Kings book and whilst it will be a little bit more in terms of cost, it does seem like a handy tome for those looking to get lots more games of Kings Of War on the go.
As well as containing all of the Core Rules and Clash Of Kings 2023 updates, you'll also find new ways to play your games. Kings Of War: Ambush is a new way to play games with armies below 1000 points. You also have Legendary games which allow you to play MASSIVE games with armies over 3000 points. This comes alongside new Siege Rules that have been updated for the game and rules for Magic Channelling Tables. There are also rules for crafting your own monsters for your home games.
Whilst the new book will come with all of the updated rules for Kings Of War, it will not contain the lore. The lore for Pannithor and the different factions is going to be available for free as a sourcebook via the Mantic Games website. You can download and read all of that for free and make an educated choice on your faction of choice early before even diving into the book.
Kings Of War 2022 - Artefact And Spell Cards
As well as the new book, there is also a new card pack available to pre-order as well.
Artefact And Spell Cards // Kings Of War
This comes with in-game spell and artefact reference cards that can be used for your games of Kings Of War. There are seventy-four cards in the deck that have been updated for the 2022 version of the game and that big new red book that you've seen above.
It is well worth checking out the video from Ronnie at the top of this story for a little more information. He covers the coming of new Rift-Forged Orcs, updated plastic Ogres and a bit more too.
Are you going to be snapping this up?

I’m on it like a car bonnet, all the errata and FAQs from the last 4 years plus all the updates and every army list. No need to bring 4 or 5 books to play a game when one will do. Can’t wait.
Kyle has also a video up about it on Mastercrafted Gaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBXFusqd-xo well worth subbing and keeping an eye if you’re a KoW fan.
Aaaaand didn’t even mention the new Storm Giant model and HiPs Ogres that are coming as well. it’s going to be a Kings of Wary Christmas
To the good people behind Oathmark – follow this example!
Nice to see everything to date getting drawn together in a single book.
Now thats a beast of a book, and great seeing everything in one book too!
A great way to get into the game with the new book full of all the rules.
I like big books.
Well, I’ll have to get this book. I have all the rest.
But can’t I still carry all the other books too, so I look really smart carrying all the reading material! Please? ??
Really excellent move on their part and coming in at a reasonable price.
