Kings of War Week: Demo Game Part 1!

[@SleepySlann]

This is actually one of the better battlereports I have seen on youtube

[@EvilHarryDread]

KoW is responsible for making me fall in love with fantasy wargaming all over again. Thanks, Mantic!

[@MadShamanLodur]

I'm really enjoying the ease of play that I'm seeing with this game.

[@deanellis4166]

I love the clean rules system and the fact you dont have to remove individual mins.

[@Tigerheart01]

I just discovered the AWESOME miniatures on Mantic games. This looks like a GREAT game with awesome miniatures.

[@francishambrook7805]

just picked up the two player box set so looking forward to trying these two armies out

[@JackWsChannel]

For me the undead are by far the best of Mantic's offerings, I love their classic undead feel. Very appropriate for Halloween.

[@stevenmitchell6127]

I like how units are never locked in combat but charge, back off and then are counter-charged

[@SlayerOfWorlds]

Really loving the simple yet deep mechanics...

[@robthomas9653]

Thanks for showing these, it helps those people who dont have a large gaming group to see some other games and find what suits them.

[@xcomeruinx]

As a miniatures game I've heard little about I cant wait to see more of these videos, keep them coming guys!

[@AnomalousOrchestrato]

You guys have been nailing it so far with KoW week! Keep it up! ^_^

[@pursuedinterest]

I am just learning about this game. I was really glad to see this.

[@Daedlehack]

Have no fear! The rules are free for download on Mantics site. I can't link on youtube, but just go to Mantics website and there's a link on the main page where you can download the basic rules + army lists. Your WHFB buddies should be able to use their existing armies for it.

[@PokeInTheEyeShape]

Super-sweet! Love to see some Kings of War up close.

[@TheJaslaf]

Psychological damage is a really interesting component in this game.

[@GREECEMJEE]

We love Beasts Of War! Cool battle report, looking forward to part two

[@AdrianKramarzyk]

they moved in to my favourite army position!

[@Ahreman_egy]

Im starting to get into miniature games , this looks cool , i like the models

[@TheHipsterWargamer]

Entry 5! Rules seem stunning, can't wait to try them out for myself

[@thekameleon9785]

Man I've bin missing out on this for 7 years??

[@CarlZog]

I never got into other fantasy minis games because of the cost.. This could be awesome!

[@G0rbash]

These are some of my favorite videos from y'all. Actually explain the game while playing.

[@MacboyColor]

Awesome Video. Thanks for covering Kings of War.

[@MollominiwipBlogspot]

this is the first decent bat rep for KoW I've seen, thanks!

[@jittyot]

This was what I was waiting for, a tutorial great video guys

[@IanGerritsen]

BoW X-week is an excellent format. Getting solid, in depth info about a game system is great to watch over a week. Didn't know that much about KoW so this has been really useful.

[@dcanehon]

Interesting game dynamics, I like it!

[@nostromo9743]

mantic orcs look soooo cool!

[@maxschock]

I love when Beasts of War do these weeks, plus I really love Mantic! Double win!

[@Deabru3]

Really nice demo battle!!

[@chadddada]

Sweet vids guys! Glad to see the varied games.

[@MarcB101286]

Great video guys, it's a good intro for all those wanting to know about the game system. I like the Wounds/Morale combination, it seems like a better system than having to remove models each turn and is perhaps a better representation of ancient warfare. Can't wait for part 2

[@nichols4life]

Your Demo Games are so well made

[@euanbennet8047]

Love the easy-to-learn, hard-to-master ruleset. The game looks like it plays much more quickly and smoothly than a certain other fantasy battle game.

[@Midgar88]

Reasonably priced and the models are beautiful. I really hope this game gets some advertising and i hope more gaming channels advertise this because it deserves to be popular!

[@deende79]

Great game boys. Also yours explaining make me want start with it

[@ericnewell2275]

great stuff. Great game. Mantic does a great job with their mini's and has a bunch of great games to play. The new kickstarter is a great way to get in on the game

[@NurglesRott]

love this - nice quqlity and pace. Can't wait to see the next vid! :D

[@RustyShackleford101]

Big battles without a fuckton of rules?! I'm in!

[@SCP-vd4yq]

I bet it's gonna take a lot of knowledge to play this game and remembering.

[@Nazgub]

Very cool, something different at least. Nice board as we'll.

[@beartoes2002]

I love everything Mantic does

[@DragonsTomeRob]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[@siwoc]

Very cool! I need to make my undead army to a better tabletop standard. Meaning...Need to finish painting them!!

[@unknownmeaning8506]

what a good video for someone new to this stuff. plus enjoyed the fact that you guys looked like your enjoying yourselves. great vid thanks

[@slicemup9]

Holy crap this looks really, really fun!

[@LBLunchboxLB]

Looks like the game's quite fun to play!

[@BlueLabelDrinker]

I like how fast-paced the game is, particularly when compared to WHFB (my normal go-to game).

[@jamestaylor8284]

I like how simple this game seems to play. I think it is something I could get into.

[@Numira]

Sounds pretty interesting, I hope im lucky one time and get an army, would be nice! :D

[@Vincent_Brien]

KoW Week? Amazing. About time that Mantic Games get more attention, they really deserve it.

[@MrPikhaak]

I was just going to comment the same thing, show the models guys!

[@greghendry1520]

Euan Bennet, fancy a game of this on Sunday? :p

[@jamesrivera3983]

Totally enjoyable battle video. These players are sort of pleasant chaps I'd hope to play against!

[@skriker689]

Sweet game. Looks like fun times.

[@kriskapsner]

I play Warhammer Fantasy and I've played through three editions so far. The way GW is blowing up the game with the End Times release, I think I'm going to jump into Kings of War just to test the waters. The ogre army appeals to me, so do the orcs and goblins. Decisions, decisions.

[@PMMagro]

***** Just try it- most models are very usefull in both. personally I think GWs models looks best but Matics are fine too- only their game rules are much easier and does not require models för 1000 £....

[@PaladinWiggles]

***** The End Times will be the best thing that has ever happened to Mantic. I'm only even looking at this because of all the nasty rumors about what this Age of Sigmar thing will be.

[@sebastianh.103]

Mantic got great deals, looks like a nice game!

[@rking7717]

Making the switch, KoW here I come

[@nbergans]

This looks fun!

[@HeavyD6]

I been interested in this game for a while. Just reading the rules for a bit , it seems simple enough that i feel like I already know how to play. The way this squads are based compared to other war games feel more organised and less of a mess.

[@DrPet80]

Warhammer is dead - killed by GW. Hello Kings of War!!! ;)

[@happymeele2391]

+DrPet80 Fantasy Wargaming is dead , Long live Fantasy Wargaming!

[@Daedlehack]

They don't quite glue together, but they would stick a piece of card or something. The removing models for wounds idea (but keeping the bases/movement tray) is something I've suggested to WFB players who don't like the concept of no casualty removal.

[@alejandrotabilo1988]

Great of the demo game!! I would also like to see KoW Historical. Any chance of that? Cheers

[@jasonedunham]

Definitely the best explanation of KoW I've seen so far. Thinking I might pick up the rulebook at some point and see if I can get some of my WHFB buddies to give it a shot with me.

[@klavakkhazga3996]

Easy to catch up! Do you know if they allow non-mantic miniatures at tournaments?

[@Daedlehack]

Almost always. The Clash of Kings tournament back in February needed 75% Mantic minis, but that was because they were using it for promo and scared of getting sued if players were using another manufacturers minis. Since then you've been free to use any miniatures you like.

[@gamingitswhatsfordinner6900]

Great Demo so far!!! Hey what type of magenet trays are you using and they seem magnetized?

[@bluemeenie01]

Looks like a pretty straight forward game to play..might have to pick up some units and see if anyone in the area plays..

[@tonybarron5962]

loved the video really interested in the game now. plus i love the description of Trolls as big hitty, power full and hard to kill.

[@daemonmatt9847]

Looks a great game. Nice and easy to learn. Looking forward to part 2.

[@mrbrianparker]

Well done chaps. Good fun. Looking forward to the rest of it.

[@Helcarexe26]

Great demo game and looking to the next segment .

[@Shneily-Wheely]

Top stuff guys!

[@jasonedunham]

Check out the Dreadball Academy videos. I've since picked it up and having a blast playing it.

[@douglaskmeyer]

I keep hearing about this game, but have yet to try it out. This comvinces me that I ready need to try it

[@CNitram86]

I'm really digging the Dwarf Units, especially the Ironclads! They just have this Spartan-ness to them with their armor and shields ready for battle. Also, were the bases designed to be glued together? I was thinking about magnetizing the square base with the figure's circle base; that way you could remove figures from the squads as wounds are taken while still keeping the unit's original size for determining flanking etc.

[@Daedlehack]

2000 points is a slightly above average game. Most "tournament sized" games are between 1600 and 1800 points. 2000 starts to feel a little cramped on a 6x4 board unless you go a bit overboard on magic items.

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

These rules are super easy. You can hold them all in your head and focus on your tactics.

[@mollaram]

game looks good but i like the table better.., is it covered in felt or that is a static grass?

[@wizardv12222]

i got a box full of KoW from my kickstarter, really need to get working on them

[@mcdonaldluke6]

Any idea when the intro set will be retailing in Aus games stores? or cost? Great video anyway!

[@redfox4242]

Very cool demo game! I am always thrilled when my Balefire gets a hit.

[@stevensaneable]

I think I'm late, but I would like to enter the competition! I just got back into wargaming and need somewhere to start!

[@barretmusselman9977]

Cool, glad to see a video on the gameplay, I have always been curious.

[@ericfinley220]

Love the video but it would have been nice to see close ups of each of the units as they named them.

[@jerrytown3792]

dwarfs all the way for me, but this is a welcomed change from "thee who must not be named"

[@davethebartender]

Love this game, best week ever!

[@Daedlehack]

Compared to WFB, it is: - Simpler, so you can concentrate on the game rather than the rules - Balanced, most army builds are "competitive" and there are no huge surges in meta as each new book comes out. - Quicker, takes about half the time of the equivalent WFB game - Tighter rules, leading to fewer arguments - Tactical, no building an unbreakable horde and walking up the field not caring about flank charges. - Magic is toned down and tends to be just ranged attacks/healing or extra movement.

[@dwarvernguardsman3951]

when did this get posted cause if it isn't over I'm interested in the competition

[@Pewsplosions]

This demo is over a year old. Part 2 is posted and should be in their videos. If you were still wondering.

[@swissguy101]

I have a question would you use the colored gems in warhammer 40k ( dark vengence )

[@kieranward3525]

looks like a fun game, and the rules seem fairly simple and easy to pick up

[@Jathom]

Visually, I think the Basileans are my favorite. Though the Abyssal Dwarves are pretty awesome looking as well.

[@deanellis4166]

Can't go wrong with rules written by Alessio Cavatore. Great first part.

[@Mediocre_Chairman]

Loving this. Though our group has modified the rules to be for 10mm models due to inability to spend monies in the amounts needed for 28mm

[@Andy2D6]

Looks like a very quick and simple game.

[@COPPERFR0G]

A lot cheaper then WHFB. I love these videos they give you a good feel of the game

[@TheProphet21]

Finally, a tutorial of the game!!

[@rastamann2009]

really looking forward to learning how to play the game

[@DukensteinA1]

Good series so far. Keep it up.
