Sharing this here in its own thread as it'll get jumbled up in the Black Order thread. With more than a slight hint of naive hope, my gaming group in London has gathered for a campaign in Kings of War for which yours truly has written the ruleset and made the map.
In exactly one week today the Winter War begins. For anyone interested, here are the warring factions - rules to follow!

This is commercial level production values! Really impressive. The armies displayed are equally impressive.
-
Better than a number of commercial ventures. Thanks for continuing to inspire!
-
Ooh, lovely! I do like a good campaign. I'll be keeping an eye on this to be sure!
And the armies look superb! Your group can be justifiably proud of those, really great work!
But... how did you do the map? That's what I really want to know!
There are perhaps too many exclamation marks here... but I'm very excited!
-
Top work, on so many levels.

Hadn’t seen a couple of those forces before.... bags of character
-
This is so cool! Love the flavour and the backstories! Looking forward to reading the rules! Will you update this thread when the campaing is running?
-
Cheers all - yep, will be updating the thread soon. The kickoff is this coming Sunday, when we (hopefully) will play the first two rounds.
The map was made using Inkarnate, and the army flags are from the Battle Brothers game developed by Overhype Studios; all the colour art in the ruleset is from the awesome collection of Jaromir Hrivnac, whose stuff you should really check out: https://www.artstation.com/quintusc

I thought I'd recognised those flags from somewhere!
Though thinking about it, the Order definitely wouldn't look amiss in the world of Battle Brothers!
-
Been anxiously awaiting this, based on your other thread(s). Can't wait for some batreps. :D
-
Here are the starting positions for Sunday - and the physical tokens we'll be using to mark territories for the first two rounds. Players get to take these home (well, the ones corresponding to their faction anyway). Was quite fun albeit lengthy making them :)

And here we are with the first few games. I didn't manage to get many pictures as our first campaign day was preeeeetty tight on time - 4 games (of varying sizes) in 8 hours. Next time - more pics of battles! Here's where we are now...

Totally absorbing - loving it.
As an aside, where do you get the artwork from? It is really atmospheric and sets the scene for each part of the narrative.
-
Got to agree - the armies look great and it's fantastic that you're getting some gaming done in weird times, but the presentation of the whole package is really reaching new heights here. It really is excellently done, from the maps to the photography to the layout - I reckon a lot of us are now thinking... sh1t, I need to get better at presentation (I know I am)!
-
Cheers all. Great to hear you like it! I’ll share battle pics one of our players took in due course...

From the amazing work of Jaromir Hrivnac, linked him in the first post I think. If you mean for the counters, that’s from Overhype Studios, of Battle Brothers fame.
-
goodness me, one lucky gaming group having you as its linchpin. Fantastic.

Finally, after much delay, we got through Turn Three.
On to Turn Four!

Great looking campaign

And finally...after no small delay, the Winter War begins to come to a close. It's been a blast.
