Corporation Vehicles

[Luigi]

Hello guys,
I play Warhammer Fantasy with Dwarfs. But since Mantic first came out with their elves I've been observing them. You guys could imagine how happy I was when their dwarfs came out...
Anyways I also was curious to get involved with a more futuristic setting of games I often thought about starting an Imperial Guard 40K army. Then I would stop at thinking because well money wise GW is not the friendliest ever. THen one day Mantic comes out with the Warpath game and then the corporation army.
Now I'm seriously thinking to start a corporation army to use with Mantic ruleset, however I do not see any vehicles for them (yet).
Do they have Vehicular units but lack the models? Or are they a completely walking army? I'd really like to field tanks along soldiers and was wondering if they have the opportunity of fielding engined models or if I was doomed at using them as a proxy of a IG army for 40k.
Also guys, how is warpath as a game?
And since we're there how's Kings of War?

Hey, Luigi!

Corporation don't have any vehicles at the moment, but they are being planned and are in the concept stage. I'd put good odds on them being out by the end of the year, so you can either get your infantry now, and by the time they're painted, the vehicles will be on their way, or you can wait until you see what the vehicles look like first.

There are plans to have an APC, and then a tank based on the same chassis as the APC (same way that the rhino and predator kits work for 40k). So far all we've caught is a glimpse of a turret design, which looks good.

Kings of War is in an excellent place as far as rules and balanced army lists go, with the finalised 3rd edition hardback coming out in a few months time. I cannot recommend Kings of War enough, it is absolutely brilliant... games are so much less of a chore to play than fantasy where the long-winded rules take a lot of learning and there's so much you have to look up or memorize each time you play. The game also plays quicker, about half to a third the time of a game of fantasy, so it's much better for either getting a quick game in *or* enabling an absolutely massive game.

Warpath needs work, 2nd edition is about to be playtested and it looks like it will improve a lot. Still a viable game to play though and quite entertaining. It's quite cut-throat, units die easily.

You can download all the rules and army lists for both games for free here if you want to check them out:

Corporation list has loads of different vehicles in it. The rules and army lists have always been, and will always be, free.

As SS said, the rules for vehicles have been released and while they don't have any tanks models yet they are on the way.

KoW is a great game. Once you get to grips with the game (about 2/3 games in) you start to appreciate the simplicity that lets you focus on the battle rather than getting bogged down with individual fights. It's more balanced and tactical than WHFB while it isn't so detailed that you can get lost. Considering the rules are free and cover most fantasy forces there is no reason not to give it a try.
