Photos from my Kings of War game

Played a game of KoW on Saturday with Tom down at the local wargames club (western suburbs wargames club BTW). Tom took some pics of the game which I thought I would share with you. Both of us played undead although I also used some ogre allies (650 points worth) so I could field a 3000 point army as without them I would struggle to field 3000 points of painted figures. In the end I managed to win a game which involved capturing objectives - it was pretty close though and really a tale of two sides of the board as on one side Tom did well whilst I did well on the other. Anyway here  are the pics:

Where the fight was when we called it

The ogres and zombies fought out a draw

So what did I learn? Well regiments are much better than troops (a regiment is 20 infantry, 10 cavalry; troops 10 and 5 respectively) as the latter's lower resolve means they rout easier. So next time I'll use a full regiment of wraiths rather than two troops. Undead are also tricky due to the shambling rule and it was interesting getting my head around that. In that regard I would play around with my list to make better use of units that don't suffer from shambling as well as concentrating those that do so one can make better use of necromancers that can cast surge on units that suffer from the shambling rule to help them move faster.
