Two KoW armies are getting new heroes and starter bundles – the Forces of the Abyss hunger for souls, while the Ogres just hunger!
Big changes are coming to Kings of War and the world of Pannithor with the upcoming Fracture expansion, and a horde of new bundle deals and new hero minis are about to arrive. Ogres and Forces of the Abyss players each receive a new hero accompanied by new bundles perfect to start a new army or expand an existing one.
Ogrish Behavior
The all-new Ogre Sergeant bolsters his army’s ranks as a powerful and disciplined Champion. Armed with shield and axe, he’s there to help command his fellow ogres while adding some serious additional punch where needed. He’s also available in the new Ogre Heroes War Pack alongside the previously released Boomer Sergeant, Berserker Bully, and Warlord.
Ogre players can also take advantage of the new Goblin Battlegroup. Red Goblin units are a mixed force with close combat and ranged weapons, adding a versatile complement to the melee-centric ogres.
New Ogre players can get started with the Starter bundle featuring a mercenary Ogre champion and two regiments of Core selections.
If you’re ready to take the plunge there’s a Warhost Bundle offering a great deal on a whole army to get you started. This set includes over 2,000 points of models and a savings of over $100. The set also includes rules for using these models in the Kings of War Champions ruleset as well as standard Kings of War.
Seasons in the Abyss
The infernal legions of the Abyss spill forth across Pannithor in a hellish Crusade. Lead your own force of devilish creatures with the all-new Teyenne the Usurper. A unique Warlord choice for your army, Teyenne is highly mobile, a brutal killer in melee and a versatile spellcaster. He’s available for pre-order on his own, or as part of the Forces of the Abyss Battalion. A force of over 1,000 points this collection makes a great starting point for a new army. It’s also a powerful tranche to add to your existing force.
If you’re already an Abyssal general the newly packaged Abyss Infernal Battlegroup makes a great set of reinforcements. Featuring three slithering Nagarri and a horde of Lower Abyssals and Flamebearers, you’ll get lots of use out of this demonic crew.
Taking your first steps on the road to the Abyss? A new Starter Bundle is here for you. A terrifying Despoiler commands two units of abyssal demons making it the perfect core for your new army of darkness.
For those ready to fully commit their souls a one-click Warhost Bundle is now available. More than 2,000 points of demonic models await, including two super cool centerpieces sure to upset your visiting relatives. Just like the Ogre bundle, this set includes rules for standard Kings of War and the Champions variant.
Pre-orders for Kings of War are open now and will ship later this month.
Why do I suddenly have the urge to listen to Slayer?
