Read & Explore Kings of War’s Basilean Legacy

July 22, 2013 by brennon

Mantic Games have finished Kings of War week and are now moving on to one of their most anticipated armies. Check out the artwork and some of the details for The Basilean Legacy...

I've spied this poster in my local gaming store and it's nice to see it in it's full splendor without the additional text all over it. It certainly is an evocative piece for their new armies...

The new supplement in the works is going to focus on three army lists. First up are the Basileans themselves with their holy paladins and winged warriors. Next are the Forces of the Abyss who are evil demons and a complete antithesis to the Basileans from the sounds of it. Last but not least are the Forces of Nature who draw on elementals and nature spirits.

As well as the lists you'll also get expanded magic and magical artefact rules, more background on Mantica and the Kings of War universe and a snazzy reference sheet for use on the battlefield.

It all sounds very nice indeed and with the Ogres being a fairly awesome success story it will be interesting to see how these forces play.

Check out more on the Mantic Blog.

Does this sound like the army for you?

I’ve gotta say that Kings of War is starting to look great. I reckon BoW needs to do a Kings week when the paladins come out! Might actually make me feel better for investing in a Brettonian army all those years ago (they still didn’t suck as much as wood elves 🙂 )

Great looking new set for one of the best large scale wargaming games out there! Finally, after many a gray, tainted, fanatical religious army Mantic might just have settled on simply a good army for once. The Spanish Inquisition (which no one expects) is so played out it went from edgy, to hardcore, to been there, to much too many, to waaay overdone, to nearly comical with how many zealots roams the gaming field. I pray these are different~

Does this replace or sit alongside the Kingdom of Men army list I’ve been window shopping with?

As far as I can tell it sits next to it rather than replacing it @somegeezer

Excellent news. I like the look of the Basileans but really fancy building a more secular army with historical minis. Maybe a token wizard as a nod to KoW being a fantasy game.

Thanks @brennon

I highly recommend the fireforge line: http://www.fireforge-games.com/ for a historicalish K.o.W army. With all the kits they make you can have almost every unit in the kingdoms of men list (except for ogres and war machines, and guys with guns i think)
