The 1d4chan article on this game makes some reference to some /tg/ discussion of it but I've not seen anything about it here. I'd rather play a game with larger forces either side but find the look of it to be a refreshing change from things. The range of stuff for each faction seems pretty small but I imagine they'll continue to release things. Have any of you guys played it at all?

Haven't played the game but did read through the entire (free!) rulebook. I really like their hit resolution and damage mechanics. The fact that each unit has some unique power instead of just being a line of stats is also really cool.

WoK was also one of the very few books with really well written fiction. I'm hoping that the writer will put out some more stories on the characters or cultures of the world.

Good game but like any game that isn't GW, PP, or Historical it's difficult to maintain interest on /tg/ for that long.

The few generals we had about the game were genuinely quite good before they died.

Reading through the rules now and it's seeming good. Nicely concise and I agree that the damage rules are quite refreshing. There's one pdf of "The Wrath of Kings" novel on the site, is that all there is out there so far? Worth a read?

Yeah, I dig. That's something that puts me off about games like this or even PP stuff - I have a GW in my town but in order to have any number of people to play basically anything else I'd likely have to get to a university town.

Wow, now that is sexist. I mean, I'm not one of those folks, but the design of the female is trying really hard and failing to be some kind of sexy while the dude has a ton of clothing despite not being forced to cover up his nipples.

Why doesn't he have just a loincloth, like Conan?

It kind of hit shipping just after AoS so there was a lot of reaction?

I like the Hadross models but the others didn't really do it for me.

You mean people were pissed off by AoS and therefore hyped up other games, including WoK, for a while? I've been "out of wargaming" for ages and only earlier today really read what AoS is so I don't know what the current state of how /tg/ and the wider community are thinking of the various games out there.

I love the Hadross conceptually/aesthetically, very deviating from the overused archetypes/tropes we see so commonly, and while I've yet to delve into the fluff I'm liking the vibe I get of their gods being kinda less straight-up evil (hopefully) "versions" of Cthulu-esque or Warcraft Old Gods-esque beings. I quite like the look of Shael Han, too.

I personally don't have a problem with KS but understand why people might dislike it. What's the deal with CMON, though?

Anon, I...
Though I support the notion that the nudity is uncool. I'm not in any way averse to the naked female form in general and I'm not about to cry about the objectification of wimmins in games but I just find hypersexualisation like this really cringe-worthy. Additionally, as you say, "failing" describes the attempt at sex appeal well.

I'm trying to get my ashmen painted up.
What do you guys think about running the minimum number of units? besides the pig horde does it ever make sense to run as many units as possible?

The "community" wants more fantasy wargames that have the diversity of Warhammer Fantasy, but they haven't coalesced around the two or three that currently exist. Partly because GW is a modeling company first, so they have great models, compared to games companies with shitty modellers, and partly because there are a lot of grognards who say they'll just keep playing WHFB 8e or 9e.
