While listening to “Kings of War Worldwide” podcast about Kings of War 3rd ed, the Mantic representative mentioned them redoing their Abyssal Dwarf range for KoW during 2020. Hopefully this will lead to some new interesting models for us!

I too would agree that some of their current range leaves something to be desired.
I hope for new Chaos Dwarfs as their newer models like the Vanguard ones and the new giant look far better then the previous KoW ones.

I own that giant - yet to paint him. Have to say it�?Ts an absolutely beautiful model.
Mantic will be releasing this “Phoenix” as well for their Basilean range in December. Might be something useful? Atleast its flaming… :cheers EDIT: Its on a 75x75 base btw.
I think I've already got a suitable model for him.
But I don't think we've taken up edition 2 here yet (I'll have to check)
We iz a bit backward here.

Are you still playing KoW 1ed? :o 2ed was great IMO, but 3rd looks to be soo much better still, evolution rather than revolution as its said.
Im so looking forward to the 21st of October when it releases! :cheers :hat off

As someone who just got into 2nd edition via the online starter PDFS and is planning on hopping into 3rd, What is Changing exactly? How does it look so much better?

...or there are a big compiled thread about it at KoW Forum
But Im most excited for thematic lists, the new disengaging rules, item/magic specific to armies. Its cleaned up and fluffier, of course minor tweaks balancing out units and rules as well.
As for our beloved Chaos Dwarfs/Abyssal Dwarfs Ratkin were mentioned in some of the pods. Im quite interested to see in which way that will affect us. In KoW lore Ratkin is an Abyssl Dwarf creation gone bad...
Uncharted Empires will follow for KoW3 in December with army lists for the rest of the armies not included in the main book. There has also been talk of a bigger magic supplement coming in the near future(years) for KoW3.
