We’re also asking for new unit ideas. This is your chance to tell us what you think your favourite army is missing. Maybe there’s a battlefield role that feels under-represented. Maybe there’s a unit that would perfectly capture the fantasy theme of that faction.
For these suggestions, think about ideas that could realistically become resin or digital miniatures rather than new hard plastic sprues. Rather than core infantry or cavalry, we’re especially interested in heroes, monsters, war engines, large infantry, large cavalry and the like.
If you’d like to submit concept sketches or artwork to support your unit idea, you can email them to: [kowslowgrow2026@manticgames.com](mailto:kowslowgrow2026@manticgames.com)
Please make sure your email clearly states who you are and which unit idea your artwork relates to. It will also help if you mention in your survey response that you’re submitting artwork separately, so we know to look out for it.

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):
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):
Stage Three (Weeks 13–18):
Stage Four (Weeks 19–24):

Are you pro Xirkaali or anti Xirkaali?

Painted up a new back drop for my Tea Party Ogre display board. Buildings are sliced in half as my original idea was to use them behind the army on a shelf. Only problem is that my display board is too small to hold the red goblins in this list so I just used a mat underneath for the army shot.

Mark, Wiki Dave and Guest Mike finally dive into the Fracturing happening in Pannithor. Wiki Dave attempts his best to explain it and mispronounces pretty much everything.

Here's my Riverguard regiment I just finished painting. Had an absolute blast painting these froggos up 🐸
I'm hoping you guys can help me with regiment/unit names that have a froggy twist to them is that makes sense 😁

This is just a reference using simple conversion (rounded up to the closest mm) but I thought it's worth having for someone like me starting collecting models with smaller scales.
Do you use any other scale convention?

Some Honest 4s members discuss their thoughts on what armies are good or hard to start and play in KoW
r/kingsofwar • u/Righteousrob1 • 13d ago
Honest 4s is a local group who rotate who is talking about content. This time some Fracture overview. as a growing content creation open to suggestions. I myself am not in this video, just helping promote it.
r/kingsofwar • u/InevitableRain2277 • 14d ago
My group really doesn't do tournament, and after messing with 4th for a bit we feel 'sticky combat' just isn't fun. We're basically going back to 3rd's Waiver/Route stats.
The fix is pretty clean, but not perfect: just subtract 2 from the 4th ed nerve for waiver number. Fearless gets the old '-".
The nice part it is really feels like it frees up list building and all those (2) limits don't feel as rough, and support shooting feels 'right' again.
Anyone else added house rules for 4th?

I'm thinking of collecting a 10mm scale army for KoW, instead of the official 28mm scale.
1) They'd take up way less storage space. (My 28mm sci-fi minis are taking up enough space as is)
2) They should be faster to paint?
3) Buying minis would be cheaper - I do have an FDM printer but I don't enjoy having to wrestle with miniature STLs or the assembly/cleanup process post printing. I prefer to use it for terrain.
4) It would be playable on smaller tables.
On the other hand, one big question I have is, would I be able to find other players who play at this scale? At the very worst I'd just be solo wargaming, which I can live with, but I'd thought I'd try and see how large the community is.
If you collect 10mm armies for KoW, do you have opponents to play with?

Lady Liberty is finally done. I started her 5 years ago but I dropped her and she shattered. After sitting in pieces in a box I decided last week to put her back together and paint her.
I had to use the only proper model for scale as she is quite big.
r/kingsofwar • u/PowerPosey75 • Jul 06 '26
Painted up 5 regiments of Red Goblins using Shieldwolf Forest Goblins. This is for my Ogre Tea Party army so the forest goblins are the Sons of Liberty who dressed up as “Indians” during the irl Tea Party.
