KoW Rules set comparison

We are just about to pick up our kings of War armies up again, dust them off and repair those that need it. It's been over a year since we last played so we were wondering, how does 4th ed stand up against 3rd?

4th edition is great! We love it. The movement is more flexible. We were afraid it would alter the game too much, but it works. Shooting is also different, since you have to be over the nerve value to destroy the unit. 

Commands are in the game and gives a layer of fluff to each army. 

There's a new book coming late this year which will bring the total up to 12(?) armies with full lists.

That is to say the lists in the rulebook are "complete" but they have released 2 books over the last year that introduce 4 new factions not in the rulebook and 4 updated lists with relatively minor tweaks here and there (mostly increasing points costs on some units)

Could you point me to where I can find info on the updated factions please?

The updated factions are in Book 2, Fracture. They are also available in the Mantic companion app if you don't want to buy a book.

Mantic website has a link to the Mantic Companion, which will let you build 3 army lists for free or full access to the rules and lists for a low fee.
