KOW 4th Sizes of Regiments, Troops and so on

[Sydaphex]

Hi @all

I am completly new to the forum and have no KoW Games under my belt. Nevertheless I made the following overview since something like it was missing in the KoW 4th Rulebook (I liked it very much in the 3th Edition and quite missed it…)

If there are errors feel free to point them out….still will need a few days for an update…

Heavy Infantry

Looked for Heavy Infantry in the rules and was surprised to find their base size in the Legacy section. Units with new models such as Placoderms are listed as Hvy Inf. [Screenshot_20251228_082403_Firefox] The correct base size for these units isn’t obvious. Is It included under Infantry in the book? Legacy makes it sound like it’s on the way out.

Also, I think preferred model counts isn’t a thing any more. I don’t know if it’s up to individual events to make a call on PMC?

Mantic did not mention it anywhere and Xiirkali and Trident Realms both received new units of Heavy Infantry - one regiment with 8 models, one with 16.

Quite a difference.

Last Edition at least 11 models would have been necessary.

And what about the big lions? Large Cavalry Regiments (or hordes as they were called back than) would need at least 4 models - now there are just 3 ( big ones) .

Last Edition at least 11 models would have been necessary.

this was 2nd Edition, 3rd Edi already removed such a requirement, replacing it with a 15 model suggestion

4th Edition simply just require the base to look full (and look cool)
