Battle for Vogen – The Planet of Khai-Zhan

Having recently felt myself getting pulled back into the 40k universe, and planning to continue the Vogen campaign, I thought it would be nice to do a little deeper dive into the fluff of the planet everything happens on. There is some official fluff, but not much, even with the massive city fight campaign, so […]

Ranking commands

While 4th edition KoW overall has been a very good experience, there are some pretty big balance issues with commands IMO. I think Mantic didn’t really get the right message from the playtest of command dice in 3.5 ed. The dice themselves wasn’t really that much of an issue, and we are still rolling dice […]

Templar Order – The Brethren of Taal

The changes in CoK25 inspired me to play a Sylvan kin list centered around their pretty amazing stormwind cavalry. I didn’t want an actual wood elf army, but got inspired to add another sub-army to my Old World project, the “Brethren of Taal”. The Brethren of Taal are a Templar Order dedicated to God of […]

Are kingdoms of men playable anymore?

Kingdoms of men (and Rhordia) didn’t see much in the way of exciting updates in Clash of Kings 2025. They gained an amazing order, but it is heavily restricted, so none of the best targets for it can use it. Looking at other human armies, there are others that have clearly gained a lot more. […]

Kings of Oslo GT 25 – Tourney report

This tourney was played before the latest errata, so here command dice and points are pre-nerf. My list: 2300pts Sylvan Kin – “Brethren of Taal” I have built up this army in January, and have not really had time to try it out. I have played one game with a pure close combat version, and […]

COK 25 winners

There are a couple of clear winners when it comes to the new CoKs update IMO. In particular, a few of the faction orders are insane value, at least on paper. Errata update: While before you were likely to get at least 3 CP every turn, you now start with only 3 red dice, and […]

COK 25 update first impression

The latest update for Kings of War is in. I haven’t played any games with the new rules yet, so these are just some first impressions on how the changes might impact the game, and my armies in particular. Item / Rule changes Blood of the old kings now rocketed up to a total no-brainer […]

Mercenaries

Golgfag’s maneaters are one of the most powerful mercenary companies in the Old World. For as long as he had lived, Golfag Maneater has lead his brethren into countless battles for riches, glory, and most importantly, food. He has served in the armies of many warlords and generals of many nations, never discriminating on who […]

Clash of Kings 2024 – tourney report

Check out the last post for my list and list tactics going into Clash of Kings 2024. There were about 190 players total, with lots of the best from UK, Spain, France, Poland, Norway and more in attendance. Game 1 – Stockpile For my first game, I was up against Mark and his forces of […]

Clash of Kings 2024 – List Tactics

I was not planning to go to Clash of Kings this year, but I suddenly got the opportunity to purchase a ticket just a few weeks before the tournament, and the timing fit, so I jumped on the opportunity. We were 9 people going from Norway, so a proper guys trip on top of a […]
