Fast, Tactical, and Easy to Learn

Kings of War Champions has been designed from the ground up to be:

  • Fast – games are quick to play and easy to fit into an evening
  • Tactical – movement and unit positioning matter
  • Accessible – no list-building, and rules that are easy to get the hang of

If you’re new to fantasy wargaming, Kings of War Champions is an excellent starting point. And if you’re a veteran Kings of War player, Champions makes for a nice change of pace, and a way of scratching that rank-and-flank itch even when you’re short on time. It’s also a great way to bring new players into Kings of War, and make sure you’ve always got someone to play against!

Check out the Kings of War Champions playlist over on the Mantic YouTube channel. There's a full series of videos explaining how to play the game, phase by phase!


A Gateway to Kings of War

Champions is a standalone game, but it’s also an approachable route into the wider world of Kings of War.

Every Champion can be taken as a unit in their respective Kings of War army, meaning that they can step up to lead larger armies when you’re ready for that. And the contents of a Company Box make for a great first building block for expanding into a larger Kings of War army – some of us are doing just that in the ongoing Slow Grow Challenge!


What’s Next?

The latest Company Boxes – featuring Xorxoi Prowlmaster, Alanis Sallustis, and The Bloody Cardinal – are available now, and we’re certainly not done yet!

The Grunk Blackclaw Company Box contains 22 Mantic Miniatures, and all the rules and instructions to field this Company of Goblins in Kings of War Champions, the compact rank and flank miniatures game.

Encased inside thick armour – and armed with a miniature mawpup launcher – Grunk is one of the few goblins that’s actually happy to get stuck into the fight. If only the other goblins would be so eager!

“We couldn’t really have a game written by the Goblin King Burman and not include Goblins!”
