What is Clash of Kings 2025?

13th Sep 2024

Dan Mapleston



Hi everyone,

Last week we were talking all about the Forces of the Abyss, which will be shipping from 23rd September.

These fantastic new hard plastic kits, and their astonishing centrepiece, the Lord of Lies, have gone down a storm – and we hope are giving you all sorts of very cool hobby ideas for future projects, multibases, and dioramas. Their revamped army list is coming to print very soon….

So, on that topic, hot on their heels in October will be Clash of Kings 2025 – which we’re going to have a first preview of today!


What is Clash of Kings?

Excellent question, especially for any new players who’ve joined our community during the last 12 months. First things first – welcome!

In a nutshell – Clash of Kings is our once-a-year book where we:

  1. Collect the very latest lore and background with gorgeous new art
  2. Update everyone’s rules in print
  3. Bring you brand-new game content to keep things fresh

This last bit is very exciting – and all about putting more exciting things in your ‘toolbox’ as a gamer. Previously our books have introduced cool new ways to play (Siege, Legendary, and Ambush games), as well as a bunch of additional scenarios – and we have some exciting new options for you to explore this year as well!

The book is once again the result of a huge combined effort by a big team, from the studio to our artists, writers, rules committee, and playtesters – and we’re very excited to launch it this October.


What’s In The Book?

As always, our annual supplement is coming in to make sure that your games are fair, fresh, and exciting as we head into another spectacular year of fantasy wargaming.

Let’s hear a little of what’s you’ll find inside the covers of this year’s book…

  • Learn the secret history of the Deepwater Crusade, and the epic Battle for the Coral Gate (Page 38)
  • Bring ALL your armies up-to-date with the latest balance updates and tweaks. (Page 49)
  • Discover this year’s fully revamped lists for the Trident Realm (Page 27) and Forces of the Abyss (Page 10), in print for the first time!
  • A step-by-step explanation on how to integrate Command Dice into your games of Kings of War! (Page 46)
  • Play SIX brand-new scenarios to add variety to your game nights (Page 81)

 


Tell Me More

The book is once again the result of a huge combined effort by a big team, from the studio to our artists, writers, rules committee, and playtesters – and we’re very excited to launch it this October.

So now let’s hand over to Kyle, our man-on-the-ground in the USA – who’s been working closely with everyone on this jam-packed new book!


And Finally…

To celebrate the upcoming launch of the new book, we’d like to share one of the stunning new pieces of art with you as a desktop wallpaper. Click HERE , or on the image, to open the full-resolution version – and then right-click to save. Enjoy!

Kings of War: Forces of the Abyss Mega Army

Mass incursions of the Forces of the Abyss are thankfully rare, for when they do happen, the suffering is terrible.

Pouring forth in waves of demonic creatures on foot and in the air, an Abyssal horde may only ever be stopped at great cost and after much bloodshed.

This brand new Mega Army set brings the best of the range out with hard plastic sprues of Lower Abyssals, Succubi, Nagarri, Berserkers, Imp Swarms, and resin favourites the Chroneas, and the Abyssal Champion.

Forces of the Abyss Lord of Lies

Greatest of the Archfiends is the so-called Lord of Lies, who has risen to prominence by his very deviousness.

Such is his cunning that it is said the Lord of Lies is an avatar of Oskan himself; a means for the Father of Lies to escape the Eternal Dark and experience conquest in the mortal realm, for a limited time at least.

Trident Realm Mega Army

Most Neriticans have lungs as well as gills and can march as well as any man. Eventually, however, they do have to return to their aquatic homes, and so Neriticans rarely have any interest in holding objectives or fortifying positions. They attack swiftly and decisively, sacking any settlement or stronghold that they see as a threat, before retreating back whence they came.

When the winds of war blow strong and sweep across the land, they stir the waters of the world and nervous eyes keep watch of the rising tide. Who knows what will emerge from the depths?
