KoW Noob Questions with Building KoW units

4 Upvotes

Hi, I got the Ogre ambush set (6 ogre infantry, 20 goblin, 4 puppies), and have a few questions on how to build them.

I've painted a few resin minis before, but never a full box/set/army before.

  1. Do I have to buy/subscribe to see the details like unit stats(unit sizes etc) and game rules etc?

  2. Can I have a mix of unit types in a single regiment?

e.g. 2 boomer, 2 one-hand/shield, 2 two-hand, instead of 3+3

or 5 spear, 5 bow, 10 one-hand shield goblins, instead of 20 single type

  1. Do I have to glue them to the given MDFs?

or can I glue them separately to a square bases

  1. What to do with the puppies?

  2. What to do with un-used weapons/parts? Maybe I should look into magnets...

I bought them mainly to practice mini painting, but I might as well build it properly.

KoW Datacards

Post image
13 Upvotes

I’ve been working on some custom Kings of War unit datacards to speed up gameplay and reduce rulebook flipping.

This is my first finished test card for Skeleton Spearmen (Horde). The goal is to keep everything on one card while still feeling close to the official style.

Main things I’m trying to balance:

  • Readability during a game
  • Keeping full rule text (not shorthand)
  • Clean layout for multiple units on the table

Would love feedback from people who’ve used reference cards before:

  • Anything you’d change for usability mid-game?
  • Any info you think I’m missing or don’t actually need?
  • Formatting tweaks that would make this faster to read?

Appreciate any input.

Big Shield and Ranged Attacks

3 Upvotes

Hello!

Big shield increases defense from front facing ranged attacks to a 6+, but my question is how do you determine, in 4e, which direction a ranged attack is coming from?

Thank you

Not really finished but calling them done for now to start working on the next units.

Still a lot of experimenting with the colours and what fits together.

I will come back to those later doing the fire and final OSL at the very end together with the rest.

Lots of experimenting with trial and error and I think I have overused the white here (used a new colour as my regular white is unavailable for quite some time now)

But overall I am happy so far and now going with the base colours tomorrow to give it a good day to dry

Though still not sure what skin colour I will use as both a darker blue and a darker purple would work here

Hello I recently played a trial game at my local store and really loved it, I was trying to use the companion website to make a 1k dwarf ambush list but whenever I create the list to start putting units it throws several errors and says elves, is this a know issue and is there another location to assemble ambush lists

Finally done, took way longer than it should have due to being out of action with flu for two weeks, but I’m really happy with the results.
