Mage Knight 1.0 Final Meta

12 min read Resources

Mage Knight 1.0 Army Lists from 2003

Archive Notice: This content was originally compiled at mk.strats-welt.at. I’m working to archive as much Mage Knight 1.0 content as I can find before it disappears from the web. More lists available at mk.strats-welt.at/Taktikguide.

This is the last meta before 2.0 came out.

The first part of these lists, from 2003 represent the state of the game after the final errata on April 1, 2003 that changed magic levitation from “…at the beginning of the turn” to read “…at the beginning of the action”.

This effectively killed the Ram Gun meta of moving a figure with ram up and then magic levitating them into base with someone to do ram damage, and it also killed yo-yoing bounders. That is why you do not see the Amazon Dracounum, Corpheus, or the conquest LE figures as much.

In my opinion this shifted the game back to “Swiss Army Knife” style armies that I really loved playing and what made Mage Knight cool to me as a kid. Not so much an army as a rag tag team of different fantasy tropes with access to as many good abilities as possible so you could adapt to whatever was across the table.

Something to consider is that these were the last major events before 2.0 came out. At the time we were starting to see expreimental aggressive Zombie Baron armies with pole arm figures, bounders, and a grave robber to bring the baron back at full health himself. The zombie baron’s Limited Invisibility made it so you could move him up the board in position to levitate your bounding figures back to safety.

Looking to collect these armies? Check out the Figure Checklist for the complete list of figures you’ll need.
