So, i havent played Kings of War in a Year and never since the big red book came out. It was a shock to me when i realized that Maccwars Potion was removed from the game. I am going to play KoW again in May i would like to ask for some advice with the list i created. Oh, and i do not own any ensnarers or elementals, centaurs or pegasi.
Just in advance
Bane Chant (2) [20]
Avatar of the Green Lady [1] (Hero (Infantry)) 1 [150]
Heal (6) [0]
What should i do with the last 25 points? what could i change to improve the list? I am an old Bretonnian Veteran from Warhammer 5th to 8th Edition so i own most models and units of the bretonnian model range.
All fine points. You really want static combat buffs on cav hordes. Have you looked at the Champ of the Green Lady? Lots of points but lots to love, and makes your expensive knights stick around and grind longer.
Here’s a pass from me that cuts into the items to get the Champ in, if you’re interested:
Order of the Brotherhood (Cavalry) Horde (20) [375]
– Vial of Sacred Water [5]
– Brew of Strength [40]
Order of the Brotherhood (Cavalry) Horde (20) [365]
– Vial of Sacred Water [5]
– Chant of Hate [30]
Order of Redemption* (Cavalry) Regiment (10) [250]
Order of Redemption* (Cavalry) Regiment (10) [250]
Order of the Forsaken (Large Cavalry) Horde (6) [260]
– Vial of Sacred Water [5]
Woodland Critters* (Swarm) Regiment (3) [80]
Woodland Critters* (Swarm) Regiment (3) [80]
Woodland Critters* (Swarm) Regiment (3) [80]
Woodland Critters* (Swarm) Regiment (3) [80]
Druid (Hero (Cavalry)) 1 [120]
– Forest Steed [25]
– Conjurer’s Staff [10]
– Heal (2) [0]
– Bane Chant (2) [20]
Avatar of the Green Lady [1] (Hero (Infantry)) 1 [150]
– Heal (6) [0]
Champion of the Green Lady [1] (Hero (Cavalry)) 1 [210]
In general tho, loving the quadruple Critters and double cav hordes!
Hm. I am not so sure about knight hordes without at least one with pathfinder. I never really used fighting charakters before but i will check out the green knight… I mean champion of the green lady. The Idea of the double Druid, is to have bane chant for more than one unit.
More I thought about it, more taking the pathfinder banner over Vicious makes sense to me, especially with access to BC. For the move through cover aspect more than hindering. Cav hordes don’t really work by charging 16" with TC2 blazing, they’re way more likely to be counter-charging after being chaffed or disordered or what have you.
Ok, how about this?
i would prefer to have unit of order of the forsaken but even i switch out the order of the brotherhood regiment and remove Blessing of the gods from my Grail Knights i am still 5 points short.

I’m pretty certain a unit gains the Sacred Water keyword when you give them a vial of sacred water, which is huge if you’re taking the Champion as his rally only works on Sacred Water units. If you don’t pay those points his rally only works on the Redemption regs. Thankfully you have points to cut in the Redemption’s blessing, the horde’s boots (I’d take a pathfinder horde and a CS1 horde personally), and so on.
I also just noticed that you’re playing 2250 points? Is that a points total in your area? Much of the world has moved on to 2300 for Kings, or 1995 for tighter games that de-emphasize spam.
The Tournament i am playing at has 2250. Weird, i know.
My Plan was to support the Grail Knights with the Green Knight. The Exemplar to support both hordes (giving Bane chant whre ever it is needed)and the druid is supposed to help the pegasus knights. Thats the general idea. But its true, if i ad the vial to the hordes they would profit from the Champion as well.
I could remove the boots, get the Brew of strength to the horde without pathfinder and add the vial to both hordes and the forsaken.
I’d almost let the peg knights flap off on their own and force-multiply what the hordes & redemption can do by keeping, where possible, the characters around them.
The hordes with rally and healing take an awful lot to shift - ran a horde in recent event with banner, sacred water and sharpness backed by champion & avatar and it took being charged by most of an AD army to kill it - nothing else got close!
good point. I used the Avatar of the green Lady 1.5 years ago in a tournament. Didnt work that well. I got tabled in every game But i painted the model one evening before i went to Hamburg
Still undecided with the list though. To bad i dont have someone to test it with. Would be much easier but since KoW is pretty much dead where i live, i dont have that luxury
Well, i could give the pendant to the Peg Knights and then give the regiment Aegis of the Elohi but without inspiring my flyers get shot down pretty often. Oh well, i’ll just do it
But i painted the model one evening before i went to Hamburg
