Re: MSU HE - Kings of War - humble beginnings
Looking good so far, and very similar to what you were running in 8th. I'd like to see more sources of inspiring in your army though, general rule of thumb from what I've learnt is 1 inspiring every 500 points. It's important to remember that inspiring range is only 6" as opposed to the 12"...

Re: 2nd Edition Kings of War release
I had my first two games tonight of KoW. Really enjoyed them both. Played using ogres against the undead. It was a really simple system which allowed us to get two 1000 points games finished within two hours. I'm told 2000pt is the standard so these were smaller games.

Re: 2nd Edition Kings of War release
I think ogres have the best shot at running MSU in KOW. There minimum unit size is a regiment, which consists of 3 models, allows for no concessions needing o be made whilst list building. Good movement and high damage output sweeten the deal also.

Loving the colours on the Water guy. Cheers bud. I've not had to paint models like these before where you start at such a dark shade then add on 6-7 lighter layers. They're really quite fun.

We have access to all the magic items now if you look at the latest beta list as that is 99% the same as the official rules. The armylist spreadsheet also contains the full army lists, which is also available from the beta section of the mantic forum

Re: How long will AoS last?
I'm not sure what effect this will have on other companies game systems. I have been looking into KOW 2nd edition because it looks good and I own both ogres and high elves but picking up that game system doesn't benefit mantic either as I'll be using GW models and their rules for 2nd are free

It's a shame that they never truely finished 8th edition before bringing in 9th. Skaven, beasts and Bret's deserved a new book each. I'm still holding onto the hope that round bases is for a smaller skirmish format and that 8th remains the rule set for large points battles. Either way I'm not rebasi...

Re: Loriel's Guide to High Magic
Agreed, just stick a noble with ring of fury in the unit to get the 3+ward. The problem with this is that it is counter-productive. The aim of Phoenix guard is to be in combat, so ideally you would want that 3+ wardsave active when in combat. By sticking a ring of fury onto them you are only enabli...

I want to add an ironblaster to my growing ogre force but my models are mainly Mantic ogres and the GW ogre just doesn't fit the theme.

Perhaps all this has happened before? it is the constant cycle of the chaos Gods, the world is born, then destroyed, then born again. Everything changes on each rebirth but the cycle stays the same.

I Like the look of that dwarf formation, Gelt really boosts the stunties with his magic combined with army wide +1 armour. Imagine bubble casting scales skin! Not to mention being able to shoot twice in the first turn or using crucible to drop a horde of GW longbeards in your opponents face.

If your opponent is cheesy enough to take a tank at 1000pts just take a few Reavers or Eagles and railroad it.
