This past weekend, 1st and 2nd June 2019, was important for two reasons. Firstly you had the birthday of an incredibly smart, sexy, champion Kings of War player and all round modest guy, me, and also the Northern Kings held our first two day tournament. We’ve been up and running for about 18 months now. … Continue reading Northern Kings – A review so far – Part One
I've recently started taking a dedicated Kings of War accessory box with me to events. This is filled with all of the various tools and templates that I use in-game. I remember way back in the day I almost looked down on people who used a lot of templates and accessories because I felt they … Continue reading Kings of War Gameplay Accessories
I really like display boards. I really enjoy making terrain in general and display boards are a great excuse to crank out a massive piece of detailed terrain, thematic for your army. My Brotherhood army was always intended to be a display army where I would go all-out on the painting and conversion, so I … Continue reading Build me a display board, worthy of the Four Foot Snake
On to day two and I was riding pretty high! I'd been up very late the night before and got up very early to finish painting, so I crashed out shortly after an evening meal and returned to my hotel room. It was certainly a different experience playing Sunday games without a hangover! Game Four … Continue reading Another Four Foot Snake Thing Pt2
Another weekend and another great event - this time it was a two day event in the form of Another Four Foot Snake thing. Last year I was one of the TO's for the event so it was great to be able to play this time. The List I made no secret that I was … Continue reading Another Four Foot Snake Thing Pt1

I've had a Brotherhood army on the cards since early last year and after buying all the bits I needed for it... it sat on the shelf for 10 months. I kicked myself into gear at the start of … Continue reading King in the North 2018 Writeup
Clash this year was a whopper. 80 players attending and, naturally, some absolutely stunning armies in attendance. I had a fantastic time yet again and really enjoyed the entire weekend. Coming into the event I had some big shoes to fill. Last year I managed to fluke myself to the number 1 spot and people … Continue reading 2018 Clash of Kings – A fall from grace
Photo is completely unrelated to the article. I just thought it'd be nice to start with something pretty. Wargaming seems to have been the ugly duckling, in many aspects, of the various intertwined nerd hobbies. Back in the day, nerdy hobbies were considered the pursuits almost solely of, to use a stereotype, lonely basement dwellers. … Continue reading Are we seeing a revolution?
Richard Osborn-Brooks has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the fatal stabbing of a suspected burglar. (Independent) This has caused outrage, as you can imagine, particularly amongst the tabloids because “YOU CANT DEFEND YOURSELF ITS PC GON MAD CRIMINALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN LAW ABIDING CITIZENS” Except slow down. Reasonable Force Firstly, the law says … Continue reading Now for something a little different…
I just don't understand why people are so keen on siege rules for Kings of War. By siege rules, I of course mean the "assault" scenario, like the Battle for Helms Deep. Ladders at the wall, battering rams at the gates and an endless sea of bodies getting picked off by archers on the battlements. … Continue reading I don’t understand the desire for Siege
