Fellow Dakka users / KoW players,

KoW just launched and seemingly, Mantic did not include the KoW v.2.0 items in the freely available ruleset, but only includes them in the rulebook. The item rules are openly available on googledocs, but since reading spreadsheets is about as much fun as playing AoS, I decided to give something back to Dakka for once and dedicated a few hours to create item cards for Kings of War 2.0, including all items, their descriptions and points cost. Use them at your leisure, please keep in mind that they are highly unofficial and contain copyrighted images. All item images have been taken from wowwiki.com...because my wife tells me I draw worse than our daughter.

I uploaded the cards to Dropbox because they contain copyrighted content and I didn't want to post that to Dakka without legoburner's okay first. I already asked him and if he says it's alright, I'll also upload them to Dakka.

Enjoy the cards, enjoy the game and thanks for your support of an awesome game.

Cheers,

Superb, thank you.

Thanks!

Tnx a lot!

Awesome, thanks dude!

Actually, if I don't have anything to do at work later I think I can make new ones with non-copyrighted images because I'll draw them. Or at least I'll hold the copyright and everyone is free to use it.

For reference, these are my works: http://raysonlozada.daportfolio.com/

These are great! Could you do cards for the units?

You should contact Mantic. . A bloke did playing card sized Dreadball teams and star players and instead of a cease and desist mantic gave him a license to him.

Very cool, thanks Sigvatr! And that sounds like a great idea heartserenade

I already flagged it to them for that very thing

I think you need to edit the Orcsbain’s Amulet of Thorns. Somebody on the Mantic forum said it was changed from "The unit has the Ensnare special rule." to "The unit has the Phalanx special rule." in the PDF sent out to the Kickstarter participants.

Yeah, it's true.

So i'm suddenly swamped with work and may not be able to start with images for now. Maybe in the next three days.

I was thinking should I draw artifacts, or artwork for unit cards?

Actually it was never changed to Ensnare. We just checked back through all the WIP documents we got back from Mantic and Alessio. I guess our change wasn't picked up And we didn't notice. It's been printed now. No biggy, phalanx is ok for it to have.

I'm not sure I'd even pay half the cost just for Phalanx, though.

First of all, thanks a lot for your nice feedback and kind words

I got the .pdf too right now and yes, it really says "Phalanx". Thanks for the heads-up!

Also noticed a typo, i.e. missing space on one card.

One thing that might be necessary is changing the background...maybe. I used the Games Workshop magic card background as a base and then altered it to look differently but keeping the main look. Not sure on this one.

Thanks for the offerheartserenade! Custom item pictures would be amazing.

I've also thought about adding some flavor text on the cards, written in italics. Got some spare time at hand in the near future and with the great feedback, I'd be motivated to further dedicate time to it and now that I also got the .pdf, we can double-check

Yesterday I played my fist game on v2 (I've played a lot of v1). EasyArmy.com is not correct with it's v2 army builder values yet (it's only been a few days since KS backers got their PDFs), so we had to wing it.

I immediately saw the value of the item cards. We were both 20-30 points short of 1000, but we only had 1 PDF on 1 tablet between the two of us, so we just played with what we had. If we had a deck of item cards, we could have easily chosen things to make it 1000pts exactly.

I think I should make unit cards first? Item cards are pretty much covered. it's just gonna take a long time to do all of them, unless you guys don't mine me using non-royalty free images.

I don't have anything constructive to add, but I do want to thank you for making these.

I know this is a bit of a necro, but these are still current and a superb idea. I have all the rulebooks (a few copies, even!) and still plan to print these out. Thanks very much, Sigvatr!

Especially nice because since only one of a kind of magic item can be in an army, a single set of cards is all you will need.

Does anyone have these in a shareable format on Google drives?

Surely PDF is a shareable format?

Right but I can't access Dropbox on my phone from work to get it. Trying to get these printed in my lunch break. Can anyone who has these on drives share them to me? Pm if possible.

Here you go.
Had to edit the amulet of thorns one for a mate a couple of weeks back.

Very nice, thanks for the share

Amulet of thorns is still wrong in that file. It says 'ensnare' where it should be 'phalanx'

Says phalanx when I view it. Says phalanx when the mate I did it for read it AND printed them out.

It's a "paste over" edit, not a replace edit.

Nothing I can do about it - don't care anyway.

Played KoW for a tourney last weekend. I'm out.

Works for me too now.
Thanks for the editing

If possible, you might want to do a Historical version : they have "veteran" upgrades that are exactly the same things, but with a less "magical" theme, and there are a few artefacts replaced by something else.

For exemple the historical version does not have the wings, but they have a pavise upgrade (infantry troop or regiment with ranged attack only, make the unit harder to wound with ranged attacks, and yes as it is wound based and don't affect the to-hit roll, it would work against spells)

But 95% of the veteran upgrades are simply reskinned magic artefacts, for exemple the "brew of haste" is simply (from memory) "Agile", the brew of strength is "Claymores" (the two handed weapons), and so on.
