Kings of War Third Edition Coming October 2019

It’s Ronnie here and I have something very important to talk about. The planets have aligned, the Celestians have spoken… it is time for Kings of War Third Edition.

Since the Clash of Kings book 2019 we have been evaluating whether to maintain what was there for one more year, or go ahead with the Third Edition. Every conversation with the Rules Committee pointed in the direction of a full new version of the game being the preferred route.

What’s more, when we realised that September was the 10-year anniversary of the first Kings of War release, the urge became stronger.

Then we noticed that both the hard back and soft back books were running out of stock (they’re now both completely sold out), and we only had one space left on the UK Clash of Kings trophy. Plus we discussed all the cool armies and miniatures we wanted to make – well, that was it – Third Edition was coming!

There is a press release below that we’re sending out to the masses, and rest assured from what I have seen coming from the RC and Matt Gilbert’s office – you are going to be blown away by what they have planned.

The release does say that this will be the first time KoW hasn’t gone to Kickstarter, instead it’ll be released the old-fashioned way - on the Mantic web store and from your friendly local gaming store. This is possible thanks to the fantastic support we have received from the community over the years, and the growth in popularity of the game.

So, stay tuned for more info as we have it, and make sure you are signed up to the newsletter to keep getting the hot stories directly into your inbox – especially the limited edition… oh, wait what – am I not allowed to mention that yet??? ;)

KINGS OF WAR THIRD EDITION DUE FOR RELEASE THIS OCTOBER

Mantic Games releasing a new 380-page rulebook for the world’s best mass battle fantasy wargame straight to retail in 2019.

Mantic Games is pleased to announce that this October it will be
releasing a brand-new edition for its best-selling mass battle fantasy wargame,
Kings of War. Inside the 380-page tome, you’ll find expanded lore for the world
of Pannithor, army lists for 14 factions and, of course, revamped and refreshed
rules.

The new edition will be available directly via Mantic Games
webstore and through all regular gaming and hobby stores around the world. This
is the first time Kings of War has not been released via Kickstarter,
highlighting the growth and popularity of the game. 

Alongside the book will be the brand-new Northern Alliance army, titanic monsters for some existing factions and a commemorative diorama. Plus, Mantic Games has a comprehensive selection of Kings of War releases planned throughout the rest of 2019, into 2020 and beyond, including a supplement with additional army lists – taking the total number to 26.

“2019 marks 10 years since we started Mantic Games and first
released the Kings of War elves,” said Mantic Games CEO, Ronnie Renton. “As
such, it seemed fitting to celebrate this important milestone with a new
edition of the world’s best fantasy wargame.

“Kings of War is the jewel in our crown and we’ve been working
tirelessly to make sure this new edition exceeds expectations. For fans it will
make their favourite fantasy game even better, with improved rules for army
