three rounds two hours each

There will be a cost yet to be determined .


this event will be

Kings of war V2 beta

2000pts

no allies

Three rounds

Two hour games

With Support from Mantic Games

Best Hobby - this will be for the army that is painted, presented and has the best Character
that means more then best painted it means that that has all the trimmings the display, the fluff and history, the added extras.

Best general-straight up battle points who wins the most points

Best Painted - straight up who has the highest score on the paint matrix

and as tradition for those that play mantic we will have a
wooded spoon for the winner at the wrong end of best general

we will be using the Kings of war Beta rules and amendment document for this event, these can both be found on the mantic forum

amendment doc - https://manticforum.com/forum/kings-of- ... re-posting

with that we will be running a 2000pt army list

2015 where to for now.

well as part of the planning for the next year it is goo to set some goals.
these goals will be broken down as time goes by.
but to start lets look at the basic five points for the next 12 months.

Well here is mine

1. Paint more then I buy/or receive from kick-starters
2. Play more games then I demo.
3. Run four events during the year 2015
4. Update my blogs- at least once a week-
5. Build three display boards for three different systems.

So what will you do this year?

now that I have set down the basics of my up and coming year, I already have mad a change. As well as increased the scope of the goals for this year.

1. as well as above I would also like to paint more then I did last year,

Completed YTD

802

Deadzone – terrain x2

Dreadfleet – terrain

Mars attacks – terrain x2

Watch tower - 1

2. So I am a pathfinder and this year would like to increase my games play so I need to play more games with people the just demo games for mantic that way I still can build up the player base of my mantic games and get more games in.

3. no change

4. no change

5.. build three display tables.
the update is that I will be building an abyssal table for Kings of War, this will now mean only two display boards and one table.


One of the events I like to do is build terrain, so each year I choose a theme and build a table or two, last year it was a jungle table, so this year I am building a Abyssal table.I actually Build tables for many of the systems I play so last year there was a 8foot Jungle table for Kings of War, as well as a jungle table for dreadzone, I did not get a dreadball one built , But I bought the Azure Forrest broad with the expansion.
now one of the efforts i make is that all of my tables from different systems now link to the main table so that the games can all flow together. as you can see with the KoW table and the Deadzone terrain.
so this means that as i make the next table all others will be linked in some way.

so for 2015 I have Kings of war table to do, Then a linked in display board or a gaming table for, deadzone, dreadball and Mars attacks as these are the game systems in play as at the beginning of 2015.

 this is the jungle table

deadzone add on to jungle table.

Round two of the Kings of War event

Well what a night. We had Six players to the Event. Great to see you all there.
We all played scenario 2 from the Hellfire and Stone Campaign Book
750 pts with no additions, We had two players who never played Kings of war before in that mix.
with loaner armies they picked up the rules very quickly and by game three where well into it.

The game was ambush at Redblade ridge, and had a different set up. It was cool not to just set up on the board edge and just go for it.

We all managed to get two games in with one group getting three games in the night. we both played attackers and defenders.

So this is the second time we have met to play the campaign and have our painting finished.
I look forward to round three.

But before round three we have a gaming day event ( not quite a tournament) at the local gaming store
Saturday 29th Sept. at Good games Rockingham,
At this point a 800 to 1000 pt gaming for new and old Kings of war players.

also coming up is

Kings of War demos at outpost south on Tuesday 4/11/2014
Deadzone and Mars Attacks demos at Good Games Rockingham on Monday 17/11/2014

but for now Photos of the night.

Kings of war at outpost

Well 2nd Mantic event,
while I was away down south I got a call that the players up at one of the local clubs after running there yearly Fantasy event where looking for a new direction and wanted to know if I could demo some Kings of war so I went down to there club and complete a couple of demos. during the night a few other club members already playing games wanted to know more. This means I am booked in to there club on the 4th for another demo day with them.
Great to start to get some traction with the players here in the west.

Photos from the demo day.

Kings Of War

Well one of the first events I started was a KoW paint and play league. we have been painting 200 points a month and playing some games.

Painting challenge

Krags will be starting a monthly painting challenge so this seem like a good time for players who would like to learn a new game to start with a fresh army and system.


I am starting a slow grow mantic paint challenge and learn to play Kings of War, by Mantic Games.

Kings of War is the game of mass combat between mighty armies in a fantasy world torn apart by epic conflict and legendary battles. Its fast-paced, competitive rules make the game ideal for massed battles between hundreds of troops - and with Mantic's range, it's possible to do just that without breaking the bank!

We will have to paint 200points for mantic Kings of War list each month, with the end of November we will have a how to play Kings of War tournament event.

So each month
August
September
October
November

We will raise the point by 200 points then the next month while painting the models we will play a game. To learn the fine art of Kings of War.
This leaves us having an 800 point event in November

On the completion of your months painting to 200 points you will receive a raffle ticket.
If you complete any extra painting during the month you will receive a raffle ticket for each group of two hundred points you complete.

With the first prise draws being at the 800pt event in November.

Now what models to paint we would like you to paint mantic models but you can paint whatever you like.
You may choice just to add to your Warhammer army while learning a new game to boot. You could even build a new Warhammer army using mantic minis while playing a new game system while painting.

The rules for Kings of War are on the mantic web site as a free down load I also have some copies that are available.

So get on the painting challenge and learn a new game at the same time.






So what makes Kings of War special?
The rule system is clearly written, simple and innovative. Written by Alessio Cavatore, Kings of War is an easy-to-learn fantasy battle wargame that is tactical, simple and innovative.

The rules have been fine-tuned after thousands of games and hundreds of pieces of feedback from the gaming community. It is a clearly written game for hobbyists, by hobbyists that allows you to play large-scale games with lots of miniatures easily and quickly.
It's a fantasy battle game written for both the Casual and Competitive Player. With an innovative turn sequence, a built-in tournament pack and the option to play timed games, Kings of War is a fast and simple game that naturally lends itself to competitive tournaments. It’s such a good fit, even our own tournament organizers have been able to play whilst running the event!
The Miniatures range is ever-expanding, and always affordable!
Nine armies are now available – from the horrifying Undead and brutal Ogres all the way to proud Dwarfs and zealous Basileans. Each is affordable and models are simple to put together, allowing you to get them on the gaming table quickly.
It bring a a fantasy world to life. The compelling Kings of War world has been developing for years and the hardback Rulebook contains a detailed map of the world of Mantica, as well as a history of its land and races. This rich fantasy realm is one of war and bloodshed where kingdoms clash in epic battles.

we had our first get together on the last friday in September
we play 250 point games out of the Hellfire and stone book,

these where great quick games and we played about six games each. swap armies and defender and attacker roles we all ahd a great night.

well done to all those that came down I hope to see you at the next event.
