25-013: Ogre Army Review - Big and Brutal

Nerve Check ·

2025/04/23

Ben and Jon talk with Eamon about an army that fits on the other side of the spectrum when compared with Halflings, Ogres! They have Mantic Models that may have missed legs day, but don't say that in earshot of them - they are excellent sprinters. They discuss the models, rules, changes, and how to build a helpful list from a competitive play perspective. Editor's Note: My first Kings of War army was ogres, and I didn't do well with them. So they are dead to me. Listen to these gentlemen for

2025/04/07

Ben and Jon talk with Nathaniel about the other small army in Kings of War... Halflings! They do have new models from Mantic and even a book of fluff. They discuss the models, rules, changes, and how to build a helpful list from a competitive play perspective. Participants range from reasonably informed amateurs to hosts who may have read the rules and are happy to make things up! :-) It is an awesome army with a neat Mantic range and is something I, as an editor, may try in the future.

2025/03/25

Ray, Jordan, and Chet will discuss the first-round Matchups at Fully Loaded, which will take place on March 29 and 30 in Wilkes-Barre, PA. We will not be keeping track of the predictions. If a listener would like to send us a spreadsheet, we can discuss who was right most often – but that would take away from the fun of this activity. Please remember this is all for fun, and while I cannot attend this year, I will coordinate better with Chet to ensure I can play in his tournament next year!

Looking Back on March of Death 3!

Nerve Check ·

2025/03/16

Ben, Ray, and Jon discuss March of Death 3 and how the tournament ran, which was pretty smooth. First and foremost, thanks to Adkins for the use of his software—I wouldn't have run a tournament without it. It was awesome! Also, thanks to Rossi for the tips and support during prep. After discussing the tournament's organization and running, we discuss the games, and well, let's just say Ben had a fun ride to being top Canadian, and Jon may well be traumatized by the chant of "Double Ones." Thank

Short, Stalky, and Free - A Dwarf Army Review

Nerve Check ·

2025/03/09

Ben talks with Joe and Greg about Ronnie Renton's favourite Kings of War Army - the Dwarfs. The models, rules, changes, and how to actually build a useful list from a competitive play perspective. All participants are reasonably informed amateurs with this army :-) One of them even took dwarfs to Masters in 2024 and won Best Painted! Dwarfs really can do it all! Side note from the editor - Faber Ironheart is overpowered despite anything anyone says.

Nerve Check ·

2025/01/31

Ben, Ray and Jon talk about the recently released Errata for Clash of Kings 2025 (beginning at minute 4). Minor screw-ups were had - namely by Ray at the beginning. Overall we think this is a positive change to Command dice and the rules as written. A remaining concern over the adjustment to the Loot Scenarios for scoring that we hope will be clarified - specifically for Push.

Ben, Nathan and Justin talk about Command Dice - sometimes changing from balanced discussion to rant. Command Dice was part of the recently released details from Clash of Kings 2025. Ray avoided this video on purpose. He would not have added to the balance of this discussion.
