Kings of War has lots of unit types that are not covered by Mantic Games models, the company that produces the game. I've collected some ideas, model suggestions, what kind of miniatures could be used for the different Kings of War units types. If you click on the unit name you can get the full list of miniatures we have in our database that belong to that unit type.

Also, there are some creatures that are not covered by Kings of War army lists - for these we are trying to provide proxy army ideas.

Makettfesztivál Miskolc 2016 - The Győzelem Pajzsa (Shield of Victory) exhibition

Article updated: 2020.02.19

The Makettfesztivál Miskolc 2016 (Model Festival 2016) miniatures convention was held on 2016.01.30-31, in Miskolc. The Makettfesztivál Miskolc, built around the Győzelem Pajzsa (Shield of Victory) modeling competition, is an annual modeling hobby event, organised by the Miskolci Makettezők Egyesülete (Modelers Association of Miskolc). An event coverage was written by Kadmon.

The Nexus Club took part in the Makettfesztivál on both days, working closely with The Forge wargaming club. Sarkadi Sándor came from Debrecen to do a demonstration of the Kings of War, a fantasy tactical game from Mantic Games. For this event, wargaming boards were made by Kelemen Gábor and by the Scenery World Workshop.
