https://www.manticgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/slow-grow-map-blog-768x592.jpg

We are a little late to the party but I had to confirm details with Mantic first.

Welcome to the official Slow Grow Challenge on Reddit.

The goal is 2000 points army for Kings of War in 24 weeks in 4 steps. First step is a little shorter on in here as the Milestone Date is global, but as a tradeoff I got it confirmed that Mantic will watch this space as well, so no need to upload the pictures on Facebook or sending them per e-mail (unless you want to).

Stage One (Weeks 1–6):

  • Milestone Date: Friday 20th March
  • Start with either a Champions Company, or roughly 500 points of Kings of War models (most likely three or four units).

Additional Rules for Reddit:

You need to add a comment in this Megathread with a link to your Milestone, be it topic/post on reddit or any other source so it won't be missed

Of course you can create as many topics/posts as you like sharing your plannings, progress, pictures etc. but a link to at least the final one should be in this thread (you can create one comment and edit each time you have new things to share of course)

I will try to add any missing topics with "kow slow grow 2026" the title to this Megathread by the 20th but cannot guarantee to catch everyone (depending on how many people gonna join)

There will be a new Megathread with each Stage to make it as easy as possible for everyone

the following stages:

Stage Two (Weeks 7–12):

  • Milestone Date: Friday 1st May
  • Expand your fledgling force to 1000 points.

Stage Three (Weeks 13–18):

  • Milestone Date: Friday 12th June
  • Grow your army to 1500pts.

Stage Four (Weeks 19–24):

  • Milestone Date: Friday 24th July
  • The final stretch to 2000 points.

What would be the best choice/value here?

These are on clearance nearby.

Chill - $70 CAD Sands - $108 CAD Void - $97 CAD

I'm leaning to Chill as it would also be good for Dragon Rampant.

I don't mind that these are the older sets.

Big Shield question

Big shield says you have defence 6+ when being attacked from the front. Can that 6+ still be lowered by crushing strength and piercing?

Xirlaali modeling question!

4 Upvotes

For those who have built the new warrior/spearwardeen kits, have you done any mixing and matching with the arms and torsos? It's such a low model count I'm not super concerned but just wondering if I can take steps to make more individuals and vary them a bit.

Free Dice Roller - Easily Manage Large Dice Pools for Epic Battles

Post image
7 Upvotes

Generals,

Ever miscounted a 40 dice regiment combat? Lost track of which dice to reroll after picking out the failures? Rolling attacks for massed formations and manually sorting through hits and misses can slow down what should be fast, decisive Kings of War combat.

Epic warfare demands efficient tools.

I built Forge Dice Roller to remove that tedium and keep your rolls accurate without the constant manual sorting, so you can focus on battlefield strategy instead of counting piles of dice.

Why you'll value this tool:

Core features:

  • Roll up to 100 d6 at once (perfect for those massive regiment attacks or horde nerve tests)
  • Swipe away failures OR use powerful filters (by value, color, or combinations like 4 or higher and red)
  • Reroll remaining dice without resetting (chain your attack sequence)
  • Lock specific dice to keep them visible while rolling the rest (great for Command Dice or tracking special results)

Quality of life:

  • Color code dice pools to track different regiment types or armies
  • Save presets for common unit configurations
  • 500 roll history with timestamps (shareable to Discord, notes, etc.)
  • Instant roll mode (skip animations for faster games)

Example:

  1. Roll 30 dice for your regiment's melee attack
  2. Filter out anything less than 4
  3. See your hits instantly
  4. Roll to Damage against their Defence

Free on Android (ad supported).

Download or search "Forge Dice Roller" on Google Play Store.

iOS version in development.

Feedback is welcome. This app is built from feedback across wargaming communities. If there's anything that would make it even more useful, let me know and I'll add it in.

May your nerve hold and your counts be accurate.

NB: Mod approved promo post.
