We’ve known it’s been coming for a long while and they finally let fly! Mantic are doing STL’s for home printing! I wrote a couple of blogs a few years back when I got my 3D printer and discussed my experience and most importantly, what impact it would have on the industry. I said atContinue reading “CRACK THE VAULT!”

After going tournament crazy last year I’m having a more relaxing season and having some fun with the game. My Free Dwarf Masters list had 3 Living Legends in it which was a lot of fun. Living Legends add a lot of character and theme to armies which only increases the immersion in the battle,Continue reading “Simply the best!”

So on a frosty January morning I turned up at Mantic HQ for the UK masters to finally declare who was Kings of War 2022 Champion! After 14 tournaments I was 9th in the rankings. As I also had best in race for Free Dwarfs I took them and my list comprised of; Ironclad (Infantry)Continue reading “The Road to Masters part 2!”

In a blog many, many moons ago in the glorious days when I did regular updates I did a post about myself and my personality traits that held me back in having more success at Kings of War. So, after several years of slowly climbing the Masters listings I thought I was finally going toContinue reading “The Road to Mastery pt1”

Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 two games intertwined on so many levels but boiling down to simply…. Fantasy and Science-Fiction.  Kings of War, while being Warhammer’s stunningly charming cousin you wished you’d met before you got married, it’s Sci-fi side has always been lurking at the side of the dance floor waiting for it’s turn. NotContinue reading “KINGS OF WAR IN SPAAAAACE!”

As you may have noticed by now, I do rather enjoy a good Kings of War tournament. Not having much chance to play local friendly games, they are my main gaming outlet so I try and make the most of them and use the rest of my hobby time painting and building.  The main problemContinue reading “A tale of two gamers.”

Another year has passed in the wonderful world of Pannithor! Or has it? In the chaotic time-warp of pandemic restrictions, lockdowns, political calamities, social division and the, well, quite frankly utter insane bullshit of the real world, it’s sometimes hard to remember. Despite all this, in the fantasy land where we go to avoid suchContinue reading “The Funky Funk review of the year!”

This year I would like for Christmas (Yul, Hogswatch etc)……. A pony! Well not just a pony, lots of ponies! Big ones! With armour! The fact is Mantic makes pretty good infantry, monsters and heroes, but what it is really lacking is some quality cavalry sets. A lot of the older ranges are all PVC,Continue reading “Dear Mantic-Claus,”

I happened upon a lovely Facebook post on the Pannithor Lore and Wiki (wiki wah-wah, biggity biggity yo-yo-yo all da Kings fam in da house say yo!) asking which historical period corresponds best to the Kings of War settings and technology? Well, looking at the themes, cultures and technology of Pannithor….. it’s a bit ofContinue reading “Aliens, depravity and Pannithor.”

With our first tournament in the South east of England, and the US masters generating more excitement than the Euro football thingy, I’ve been having a think about the higher level of gaming. What makes an exceptional player? Again and again you see the same names near the top of the lists. I’ve barely metContinue reading “LEVEL UP!”
