Kingdom of Men 4th Edition Review – Support
The Support section is one of the strangest parts of the Kingdoms of Men army list. Some armies use their support choices to patch weaknesses. Kingdoms of Men uses its support section to provide entirely different ways of approaching the game. Want artillery? It’s here. Want monsters? They’re here. Want mobile shooting support? It’s here.…

Kingdom of Men 4th Edition Review – Specialist
With knights already being core, it opens up the specialist section quite a bit. While there are numerous units in this section, my opinion is that there aren’t any particularly exciting units outside of the Dogs of war. With that being the case, all three variants of the Dogs of war play a very differnet…

Kingdom of Men 4th Edition Review – Core
The Core section is where Kingdoms of Men starts to separate itself from most armies in Kings of War. Many factions treat Core as a tax. You bring the minimum required unlocks and spend the rest of your points on the exciting stuff. Kingdoms of Men is different. Several of the army’s best units live…

Kingdom of Men 4th Edition Review – Champions
If the Warlords are responsible for shaping Kingdoms of Men army builds, the Champions are responsible for making them work on the tabletop. What I like about the Champion section is that nearly every option provides utility first and damage second. Kingdoms of Men doesn’t have Champions that are designed to carry games on their…

Kingdom of Men 4th Edition Review – Warlords
One of the things I appreciate about Kingdoms of Men is that you often are paying less points than other factions and don’t have to worry about a huge range of special rules or paying for functionality that may not be relevant in all your games. The Warlords all serve a clear functional role, and…

Basileans 4th Edition Review – Specialist
If the Core section forms the foundation of a Basilean army, the Specialist section is where most of the army’s killing power lives. This is the section that contains some of the hardest-hitting units in the faction, but it’s also the section where I find myself making the toughest decisions during list building. Basilea has…

Basileans 4th Edition Review – Core
Basilea’s Core choices cover an unusually wide range of battlefield roles. You have cheap unlocks, elite infantry, durable anvils, fast chaff, and some surprisingly dangerous combat units. More importantly, several of these units remain relevant deep into competitive play rather than simply existing to satisfy unlock requirements. One thing I have noticed while building Basilean…

Basileans 4th Edition Review – Champions
Basilea got some great additions to their champion line up with the release of fractures. Aestelle, Orion, and the change of Ur-Elohi to champion rather than warlord open up some really fun alternative army lists. The writers have really don’t a great job at making relatively balanced units that lend themselves to some unique builds.…

Basileans 4th Edition Review – Warlords
Basilea Warlord Review One of the things I enjoy most about Basilea is that the Warlord section doesn’t feel like a simple exercise in finding the biggest combat monster available. Every Warlord brings something different to the table. Some are force multipliers, many have exceptional speed, some unlock entirely new army builds, and a few…
