It turns out that there is another square based game of Fantasy battles out there, and the rules are free to download as well.
Things are changing in the world of Fantasy battles, and we’re luck to have an alternatve to the Age of Sigmar if that isn’t your thing right now.

We are hugely excited here about the upcoming launch of Kings of War second edition – today we’ll share the timetable of the launch.
As I hope you know Mantic has been giving away the basic rule set for FREE since the game first came out, and this edition is no different.
However, this time these are going out BEFORE the launch – because we are so confident that if you like mass battle games you’ll love these rules (and for some reason there has been a lot of next requests in the last few days).
July 10th sees the new rules go up for free download. If you want to get a set emailed to you – with three chances to win a signed copy of the hardback rule book too – please go here and sign up to the newsletter.
The Kings of War Hardback rulebook will be in-stores 22nd August, to find out more about this book and all it contains please click here.
Due to recent huge spike in interest it is looking like the first print will be gone very quickly. Please place a pre-order with your local friendly local gaming store now – or pre-order Kings of War 2nd Edition here on our website.
In the year ahead we have books planned for a huge global campaign, an army building app, more tournaments, a rankings system, cross-over army books, and two new armies with fantastic miniatures.
So checkout the free rules on the 10th July and throw some dice with what may become the mass battle fantasy game of choice. -MBG
