If you’re a fan of Kings of War and enjoy reading detailed and engaging battle reports, then you should check out Regnum Aeternum. This blog, run by my good friend Brian, is a treasure trove of insights and stories from the tabletop.
Why I Recommend Regnum Aeternum
I’ve known Brian for several years now. Our friendship began when he responded to a Facebook post I made looking for players in the area, and we’ve been gaming together regularly ever since. He was my first foray into Kings of War outside of playing against my sons, so much of what I’ve learned about the game came from him. Brian is not just a great guy but also a pillar of our local gaming community here in Wisconsin. His enthusiasm and dedication have been instrumental in the explosion of interest we’ve seen in Kings of War in our area. If you’ve been around the KoW Midwest scene or Fanatics, you’ve probably seen his posts on how to get new players involved.
What You’ll Find on the Blog
Regnum Aeternum features a variety of posts, but the cornerstone of the blog is the battle reports. Brian has posted 67 reports for Kings of War third edition alone, and each one is a masterclass in documentation and storytelling. He provides detailed information about the army lists, the terrain setup, and then offers a turn-by-turn recap of each game. This format not only keeps readers engaged but also provides invaluable insights into gameplay strategies.
Analysis and Insights: One of the things I appreciate most about Brian’s battle reports is his reflective analysis. He discusses what he hoped to test in each game and concludes with a recap of his insights. This qualitative approach complements my more quantitative style, offering a well-rounded perspective on the game.
Hobbyist Extraordinaire: Brian is also an avid hobbyist. He’s always working on new units for his armies, and he’s got quite the collection! Over the years, I’ve faced his Undead, Forces of the Abyss, Herd, Varangur, Kingdoms of Men, and Ogres. His passion for the hobby shines through in every post, and his creativity is truly inspiring–I often feel that my level of hobby is embarrassingly far behind his when you see our forces together on the table.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re looking for well-written and documented battle reports, in-depth analysis, or just some inspiration for your own hobby projects, Regnum Aeternum is a blog you don’t want to miss. Brian’s history major background comes through in his writing, making each post not only informative but also a joy to read.
