Re: The possible future of Twilight Kin (dark elves) in KOW

Apologies about the thread necromancy, but as we finally have some news on the original topic I think that it was more appropriate that starting a new thread. In summary, after the recent global Kings of War campaign, it is now confirmed that the Twlight Kin (the Dark elves in the Mantica world) wil...

Re: BACK AND ANGRY!

Well, people switching to 9th age or Kings of War might be in fast them keeping the old Warhammer Fantasy Battle more alive than those playing AoS. To the OP, if 9th age is not to your tastes, maybe you might like Kings of War better ? At first it might seems like too simplified when coming from the...

Re: (Re)building my Dark Elves: don't know where to start

If your local community is not already set for a game and looking for a supported alternative to 8th edition, have you looked at Kings of War by Mantic ? As someone once posted, if you liked 8th edition for its over the top complex rules 9th age might be for you, while if you liked it *despite* them...

Re: The possible future of Twilight Kin (dark elves) in KOW

Hi Amboadine ! ^_^ The northen Alliance is indeed something that might have a great potential for former dark elves players. While the army is technically good in the Mantica world, the presence of Ogres mercenaries, northen human allies, as well as various snow/ice creature (trolls, maybe also thin...

Re: Missing 8th, not interested in AoS. Other fantasy games?

If you want to try Kings of War, I recommand http://kow2.easyarmy.com/ to create your list, it includes the full armies (not just the samples), as well as the artefacts, and the Twilight Kin army list (Mantic dark elves) is included (second row, under the "(Kin)" Tab)

Re: Kings of War

For a cult of Slaanesh army, I would probably ally with the Forces of the Abyss list to bring succubis and one or two temptress (succubi hero) For 495 points, I would take two regiments of succubi and escort them with a temptree on foot (non winged version) with bane chant to inspire and buff them, ...

Re: Kings of War

The temporary twilight Kin list has now officially been made available on Mantic site, they added chariots units and hydra compared to the last beta version : m Note that it is temporary because they plan to redo completly the army in a later supplement to make it more distinct from the other elves....
