- Or purchase physical versions from the Mantic webstore

French, German and Spanish versions of the PDF downloads are on the way soon.
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!

New Champions will be on the way later this year – keep your eyes on Mantic’s channels for more info about that in due course.
Get Started Today
With free rules in the Companion, a limited-time offer on Company Boxes, and plenty more support in the pipeline, there’s never been a better time to get into Kings of War Champions.
