- Rob from Mantic Games has joined me in the BoW Studios today to show us how to play the newest addition to Kings of War, Vanguard.
► Check it out on Kickstarter here!: www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
Vanguard recreates cinematic, brutal skirmishes between small warbands of handpicked fighters, set in the same universe as our hugely popular Kings of War wargame. Players carefully select their squad of characters then fight it out to complete life or death missions - that can help turn the tide in the battle to come!
These can be played as one-off narrative missions between elite fighting forces, but Vanguard is also fully compatible with your larger games of Kings of War. By linking battles in Vanguard to your mass battles, thanks to the innovative interlinked campaign system, victory in Vanguard could mean you’ll gain access to better magical artefacts, new units or even the chance to deploy in better positions. Meanwhile, defeat could force your units to arrive late or your deployment options will be hampered.
As your troops successfully complete missions, they’ll become a renowned force, so we’re also developing an in-depth war band progression system to reflect that. As you play more games, your key heroes will gain new and more powerful abilities and discover new equipment - but wounds suffered might mean they pick up game-changing injuries! No Vanguard campaign will ever play the same, and each force will develop its own style and skills.
The 28mm plastic miniatures in Vanguard will also represent the small bands of elite battle hardened warriors - the ones any good general would rely on to complete his most important of missions - but because these fantastic sculpts are compatible with our wider range of fantasy miniatures, your new Vanguard miniatures make fantastic heroes for your Kings of War armies too!
As always, I will be playing the Dwarven side learning the newest rules as I go. Will I be lucky with the exploding 8's or will the dice Gods be cruel in my turn, let's find out in this Beta version Demo Game.
Have you jumped into Kings of War: Vanguard?

Really amazing quicl tutorial game, to get to see the core mechanics. Iam imrpessed of the flow and fast paced gameplay, but with a good portion of tactics and ressource management. Iam curious to see more of Vanguard and looking forward to the full demo game on monday! I hope that we will see a scenario with objectives rather than a massacre for producing Goblin jam :D! Keep up the good work guys over at Mantic and BoW. I've pledged for the Kickstarter already and waiting for the Northern Alliance at the moment to upgrade my pledge :D! Best regards from Berlin.
P.S. From what company is this dice tray, which was used in this Batrep video? It looks amazing :) ...
Great looking table and an interesting looking game! May i inquire who makes those trees?
The trees are by 4ground if i am not mistaken
TheDarkplace Thanks for the comment! After looking at their products, I think you may be right.
This looks awesome, will there be more Demo games?
would be nice to see more before i pledge on kickstarter. Videos of gameplay really help in the decision process.
Yep, there will be a full demo game on Monday.
Interesting report, some clever mechanics there. Regarding the point raised near the end about starting Fatigued, clearing it then taking a short action, and then immediately Fatiguing again so that you're getting two shorts anyway: I would suggest that (barring the use of a command point or whatever the resource is called) you be either allowed to clear Fatigue OR become Fatigued in a given turn, not both. That prevents chaining turn after turn of Fatigue, which seems like it could be problematic, especially on strong melee fighters. I'd also suggest having stronger/more expensive models cost more command to clear Fatigue off of. It's obviously going to be way more effective to clear an Earth Elemental or Troll than to clear a Rabble, and should cost more of that limited resource to do so for play balance. That would also give you design space for special abilities on commanders or some troop types that allow you to clear Fatigue more easily on strong models, or perhaps that would allow on command point to clear multiple weak models' Fatigue if they're in proximity to one another.
I'm a scenery and terrian fanatic, and that table looks sensational. I can't place those buildings though. Can I please ask what brand they are?
They are the Dwarven set from 4Ground.
@@OnTableTop Thanks heaps!
This turned out to be a rather expensive video for me to see :)
I really wish I'd found this before the kick starter ended =/.
Late pledges are leave now through february so there is still a window to get in!
Wish I had not missed the Kickstarter on this. Dammit. By the way, the sound is terrible. You guys need speakers in front of you, or face the camera when you talk.
Didn't the Goblin Player Fatigue a Mawbeast?
As for cost... I think we need some more army views before we can comment. For example goblins might be too expensive. Which I have seen a lot of games do. Goblins are usually weak hordes but they are so expensive that rhey can't quite get enough numbers to actually compete in open combat.
Wait didn't he say no then yes to the same question?
OK, so if I want to play Kill Team I take minis from my W40K army, I want to play AoS Skirmish I take minis from my AoS army, the same with Company of Iron, when I want to play KoW - Vanguard I take minis from my KoW army... oh, wait, they are multiple models on a base... So I need to buy models specially for Vanguard, that is a bit of fail.
inhumanbookworm use your leftover modles from multibasing.
