Once more 15mm Kings of War, this time 6000 points of Orcs vs 6000 points of Dwarves/Elves. A very bloody game.
Lessons learned. Elven Dragons are a royal pain! Orc catapults suck! But Giants rock!
Within a few weeks we hope to have a 9000 on 9000 point game.

Looks great! How long did it take? |

All we need now to convince '15mm-nay-sayers' is a top-down comparison photo of this game and a 28mm version. Looks great. |

We have some nay-sayers at the store, when they walk by they quip about how small everything is. When they walk by the second time they grudgingly comment on how nice the table looks and how big the battle is. |

Very nice! This is what I would like to see more of -- epic-sized battles. Too many fantasy battles look like skirmishes to me. I'm building massive forces for all sides (including a table-spanning city/castle wall) to have something the looks more like the battles in Lord of the Rings movies.
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. |

Hate to be a naysayer, but I've looked closely at the pictures of these 15mm Kow games on the blog, and many of the stands only have 3 15mm figures on them (some have 4). They are making a Kow regiment be 4 stands, so that's 12-16 15mm figures in a unit. Thing is, the Kow rules specify that a regiment is twenty 28mm figures, so the guys playing in 28mm are using more figures than the 15mm people! The only thing the 15mm people are getting are a little more table space (in thus case 80mm frontage vs normal 100mm frontage) and quicker painting time. Now if they used 50mm x 40mm stands with 10 15mm figures on a stand and 4 stands per regiment, then that would be 40 figs per regiment and NOW we're talking mass! |

28mm should only be for skirmish games. Saying that i do all my skirmiish in 15mm now. |

Why should 28mm be limited to skirmishes? I've always found those types of sentiments to be invalid.
28mm armies looks great in larger battles. All depends on what your personal preferences are. It's all valid. |

It looks like they are adapting DBx based figures to KoW units, those frequently have 3-4 figures on a base. I think it's fine myself. My question is did they just continue to use the same movement rates/ranges etc or did they lower them to account for the smaller figures? |
| Capt Flash | 17 Dec 2015 3:22 p.m. PST |
Dave I understand your point and I agree about the 50X40mm bases being the actual reduction.
I'm actually considering doing exactly that with two armies, Orcs and Dwarves or Humans…
However I still think that what they have going on there is outstanding. |

15mm is great for KoW. I already had my fantasy armies based for another set of rules so everything is 80mm frontage except giants, monsters and war machines which are 40mm. The way I see it is any multiple of 40mm as I have massive (Demonworld) war spiders that only fit on 120mm frontage. The depth varies 30mm/40mm/80mm. I do try and put a reasonable amount of figures on each base so that the affect is 'mass'. check my blog link |
replaces his Dwarf army… sort of.
