Classic German noun pluralization. And thanks! It was quite the fun battle even at the end of the day

Unfortunately for Andrew yes you can. Regiments of cavalry, infantry and heavy infantry all have sufficient space to pivot 90 degrees after the withdraw. Brinton Williams has a very helpful article on dash28 titled "You can do that? Kings of War gotcha moves and how to prevent them"

Ambaroxen is then canon until I hear from Ronnie!

@@CaffeinatedWarlord "Bugs" works too :p

That's for my opponents to say 'The only good bug is a dead bug!' when they charge one

There's a GCPS Starter Set on my shelf that says so

The "either" part means you can choose which of those two. Otherwise it would say "the same spell again" not "either spell again". Also I have used this against an RC member and he didn't say I was cheating 😅

@@CaffeinatedWarlord, thanks for clarifying. I saw only one other person playing this way. Everyone else I played repeatedly cast BC, which aligned with my understanding of the rule.

Definitely! It's where the whole genre started, but as far as awareness in the social consciousness, it's Warhammer Fantasy that gets the exposure. I never knew about historical wargaming in Australia until I was playing Warhammer Fantasy and heard about Warhammer Ancients. Even then, I didn't actually know anyone playing it. So while Fantasy isn't the be all and end all, it's certainly the flagship

@@CaffeinatedWarlord That's fair. I certainly heard about Warhammer Fantasy before I heard about Kings of War, and that was when warhammer fantasy was still dead.

Of course it doesn't! It can't stack to higher than two so why would the gastromancy be able to? Thanks for that!

That's true! The Halflings definitely feel like an interesting and fresh army in the wargaming world. The units themselves are all pretty average but somehow together they make a formidable force without just bumping up basic stats, or being a horde army. I would start halflings if it wasn't for the fact everyone has them 😅

The endgame! But for now I'm going the three ambarox... I like shooting while everything takes it's sweet time moving up 😅

Yeah tbh I was impressed with the ambarox, but by god they're pricey for what you get

@@DeathByDragons if they had crushing strength 1 they might be perfect, people would be reluctant to ignore them entirely as the battle lines meet

@@DeathByDragons also Mike Crossman give me the ambarox idea and he knows what he's talking about .. right?

😬

That's the plan. Was hinted last year at Clash then confirmed one at least one Counter charge podcast video interview. When it will happen and what will be added or remade, who knows!

@@CaffeinatedWarlord my guess would be plastic Molochs and Tortured Souls models, and new unit types for those kits to be dual purpose

Yeah those tortured souls need an update! I hope that if it is molochs, they keep the look and just make it a lovely customisable kit

Thank you! I'm forever tweaking just how much to say during army list reading, can't be too long because visually there's not a lot going on, but glad I got the balance right here

I truly love the Warhammer setting, but for so many reasons now it's just not something I can get back into on the tabletop. Glad you've found Kings of War! It really is a simpler game, and a lot more fun for it (less bookwork, more gaming!)

Fantastic. I always try to keep them from being too dense, but please let me know if something is needed like saying what each unit on the battlefield is.

Ooh good catch! Although I assume you mean the Helstrikers, but yes I think they would have clipped the horde. I didn't tell from my angle but from the top down view it's quite clear!

@CaffeinatedWarlord team ork all the way To me it seemed obvious because the overrun would have brought the horde into contact with the impalers, I thought it was very clever play until I saw the next round

Ah but the Voidlurker in the rear was still unfortunate, at least the helstrikers might have lived to take down one more thing!

They've come a long way since the first versions, and glad you're liking how they're turning out now!

@@CaffeinatedWarlord The last 3 have been fantastic. I am not particularly partial to the 'talk over picture' format that plenty folk use. I much prefer the handi-cam style. Speeding up the movement means we can still see it but its not taking up tons of bat-rep time. Perfect

@5p3cu10 I think I will reserve the talk over the picture version for tournaments, if people still want to see those. Otherwise maybe it should be exclusively 'live'?

@@CaffeinatedWarlord talking over tournies like that, works great. It means that we (the viewers) get to see that. Otherwise we would have no views into tournies. Is it easier to edit together the photo videos? KoW is a game that has almost zero representation with regards to "live" bat reps. Your edit style is very easy to follow and you get in as much of the bat rep in as can be which is great!

That's good to know, I have a tournament to make into a video right now! The live aren't much more effort, and personally they're more fun to make and edit. More interactive and more agency for fun editing. But both serve a purpose, get Kings out there so more people discover it!

It made editing the footage a delight! What's Barbie doing? 😂

Thank you! 😊

Definitely the Brew of Sharpness will push the damage output to the next level, but that points efficiency of the Mace of Crushing is just too good. In general I just try not to use 20+ points items, more room for more units (maybe)

@@CaffeinatedWarlord Oh, boys before toys for sure. The only must-have magic item in my undead army is the Inspiring Talisman for a necromancer. If I can scrape together the points at the end for a zombie regiment to camp out on objectives, I'll do that. If not, the Book or Lute for a USB and the Brew of Sharpness for the RKoUGFW are next on the list.

That acronym is insane 😂

It is hard. Only the big games survive in the outback. My hometown in country Victoria has only 40K and AoS, there's not even Old World. Thankfully Melbourne has a decent KoW scene of 40-50 players all up.

Even Adelaide topped out at about 8 players when I was running events pre-COVID. I wish they were out there and gathering for games again.

Most of the smaller cities and the regional areas are completely GW games, which is fair, they're relatively easy to acquire. But maybe with old world taking off you never know! Would be good to have an excuse to go to Adelaide

Welcome! There might one day even be some Firefight content! I've got a GCPS starter box itching to be built

@@CaffeinatedWarlord I’m all about it! The more the better!

Really glad you're enjoying them! They're quite fun to make 😁

Thank you! I'm looking forward to expanding it, and doing some horde or legion level multibasing 😁

It's a real Mantic mix! And as I've said I am now inspired to continue it! Especially as project RFO is very nearly complete...

Some of the best painted wood elves I've had the pleasure of facing as well!

It's all the same! Root for the little guys 😁

Yeah, the full plate with trimming looks great. This army is almost done!

Thank you! I never completed armies when I used to play 40k, but something about the end goal of multibasing drives me to get it all done!

The release of Zombie Trolls is incredible! The question is how many hordes are too many? Three? Four?? I look forward to getting some GCPS together and on the table, so why not make content for that, too? Glad to know at least one person is keen for it!

Count me in! Firefight is awesome

The Facebook group "Kings of War Victoria" is the best place for events around Melbourne. The event in Springvale is ConVic facebook.com/events/s/convic-2024/1061841425071148/ It's a great event, with players travelling interstate for it. Unfortunately we are stuck on Facebook

@@CaffeinatedWarlord awesome thanks! I'll give that a join.

Writing up the Goonhammer interview allowed to find out how he used those regiments to great effect, so I am very keen to get onto them. I guess I was stuck in the thinking that "chaff must be as cheap as possible" so only considered troops, but those regiments are secretly nasty!

AoS is reasonably popular around Victoria, with certain clubs and shops heavily invested. And at CanCon AoS remains a major event. I tried for a little but it's not the way I want to play fantasy. If I want skirmish I'll play 40k. As for conquest, I did think of trying some models for proxy. There's very beautiful models in their range, but the cost really is prohibitive

It's amazing what's available to choose from in any given genre. 20 years ago it was so limited, but now we are all free!

It is profoundly understocked and also coming out way too slowly. But still people need Tomb Kings and there's a whole array of dry undead at Mantic 💀

@@CaffeinatedWarlord So we show people what there IS (KOW) rather than what there isn't

How would you evolve it? Alternating activations?

@@CaffeinatedWarlord that'd be one way. One page rules uses that

Thank you! These are quite fun to edit so I'll try and get them in between tournament footage as much as I can. The Owlbear was surprisingly fun to paint despite the attention needed per feather, so I am glad someone noticed ☺️

TerraTiles! I got them from Kickstarter and I really like them. Full battlefield in a small box, literally.

Mindfog is becoming my new favourite spell. If there was a Mindfog 3 going around that would be perfect. But on a wiz or flaggit it's a budget banggit (for the shattering) that can reach across the board! Yes, my luck is especially bad when the camera is rolling 😅

That's very interesting! I have not yet met someone who has come from the Total War franchise. Never into miniatures before?

I'm really happy you liked it! More will be coming up for sure 😊

You can even hear the doggies at the start haha!

Absolutely. Units in Kings of War are at set sizes - troops, regiments, hordes and legions. These have specific dimensions depending on unit type - infantry, cavalry, chariot. So people get a big base at the right dimensions and then put their minis on it. Can put enough to completely cover it like a movement tray, or a few less and make a nice diorama (see my goblins!). That way it doesn't really matter what individual base size is. Except the Arachnarock Spider, that's massive

ah very nice, because i thought about trying out KoW additionally to ToW. All i need is the current KoW Rulebook and my ToW Army i guess. The Empire of Dust Model range looks very nice but i think all my Khemri models could easily cover the Empire of Dust unit types. @@CaffeinatedWarlord

Many people are used to Tomb Kings as Empire of Dust. Skeletons = skeletons, tomb guard = revenants, ushabti = enslaved guardians, casket of souls = soul snare. Some models that have less direct comparison but are very useful units are the Monolith and the Idol of Shobik. Can see the units on the mantic website and either get them or think of what you might use in their stead.
