So in this escalating arms race the old armies now have access to the Berserker, Cavalry and moving units giving them some much needed punch. So now we have the latest incantation of Lords of War and in something of a deviation from previous sets, this one’s bringing the original Orcs & Dwarves up to date with the new units and of course throwing in a spicy meatball or two. Its been great that as Ollie has grown he’s always had a new army and bunch of tactics to learn, its become something of a father son bonding rite of passage for us, before you get all dewy eyed the little shit keeps winning and its becoming very very annoying… anyway. The series has continued with new factions, each slowly ratcheting up the tactics and rule depth, turning it from a light bite to a more substantial cheese ploughman’s. With its straight forward and easy to teach rule set and spiffy artwork from Steve Cox it was an instant family favorite with myself and Ollie my eldest, we’ve clashed in many post tea time skirmishes and I’ve managed to sate that miniatures war game need without the hefty price tag. The Lords of War series has long been a pleasure of mine since it first charged screaming onto the battling card scene back in the crisp winter of 2012.
