Stone Priest: Gains Radiance of Life that can be bought or replaces Surge.īeserkers: Get a big increase in Nerve and gain Slayer (D6). This in conjunction with the changes to Elohi and heroes means that Basileans are going to be hitting quite a bit harder!ĭwarfs are about to be a lot more infantry-heavy, like this very picture! Changes Now they hit harder and in many cases are cheaper. Previously, the Sisterhood offerings did have some punching power, but not enough to make up for their cost and low defence. ![]() Speaking of humans, the Sisterhood units have all received improvements, which is not surprising as they were a rather under-used part of the force. It’s a nice, thematic boost as well, as the army is based on humans receiving divine assistance, not having the Elohi do it all themselves. These are a nice set of buffs for Basileans, opening up some more combined arms approaches, with the Elohi and the Dictator improving the combat punch of the human contingents of the army. The Golden Panthers: Gives Pathfinder and an aura of Fury (beast only) to two regiments of Sisterhood Panther Lancers, when taken with two troops of Gur Panthers. ![]() High Paladin on Dragon: Improved Nerve and gains Headstrong.

Sisterhood Scouts: Gain additional unit strength and attacks. Even armies that were considered quite good already (fingers pointing at Undead and Abyssal Dwarfs) were improved in order to diversify their armies. This results in armies having a greater range of viable army types, and this will be apparent in our summaries. A lot of the more neglected units have been given some attention. Formations allow for some more thematic and targeted buffs, and, as they are limited to one formation per army, the risk of competitive imbalance is minimal.Īll armies received buffs – yes, even Undead!Īs has been reiterated by the Rules Committee many times, Clash of Kings 2022 is about bringing up all units to the same standard. Take specific units, pay some extra points and get extra buffs or abilities. In addition to new units and unit improvements, we also see the reintroduction of formations. In most cases, we haven’t included any Halpi’s Rift changes within our summary. Some factions that needed some more of a specific unit type, for example, hordes for unlocks, have also received them.Įveryone look under your chairs right now, buffs for everybody!Ī small note though, the balance updates from Halpi’s Rift have also been included here, so while it may look like a unit has been nerfed, that actually happened in the last balance update. Everyone who didn’t get a unique character in Halpi’s Rift gets one, and all those introduced in Halpi’s Rift have returned. ![]() The part everyone has been waiting for boosts to their favorite faction! Good news! Everyone gets buffed. The fact that this was all playtested in the year that was 2021 is astounding, so full appreciation goes to the Kings of War Rules Committee (all lovely volunteers) and Mantic for getting this all together. These armies in standard Kings of War fashion receive pages of background lore preceding the very exciting army lists.įinally, there are the overall changes to the game including the new special rules, the updates to magic, loads of magic items, and even some fun scenarios to add further variety to your games. ![]() As if that wasn’t enough, there are also two whole new factions introduced the Halflings get their official release, and the Riftforged Orcs make their debut. ![]()
