Wait, there is a sprue error? I never understood what was that extra resin shoulder pad, thought it was for the leader or something I didn't assemble my avataras yet, only unsprued, that's why. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I too thought that a resin shoulder pad is a special for a leader so never bothered to check after removing the rest from the sprue... and then imagine my surprise when I wanted to finish the third model Anyway, I like to convert models so it was not a big problem (I simply cut a bit of the identical plastic one, glued it, and after fullfiling some gaps it looks great, especially after adding the third arm). Now, for the second box, I need to think how to make it with another model without repeating the same look of the shoulder pad area.

Family gathering:

My totem/standard bearer for Stalkers (and yes, command sprue is in white plastic), loosely inspired by ''blood eagle'' from the Vikings tv series.

Cool Thor's hammer necklace!

Thank you

Simple terrain made from Jotnar's shoulder pad/tower fragment, and some leftovers from different kits cut into small pieces.

Great idea with the shoulde pad! I like how you use all the different bits in an inventive way.

The question is: will we ever see paint on them?

The Underspire's Vanguard Path of Conquest continues with Dave Richardson's article on collecting the Hundred Kingdoms.

I decided to add to my standard bearer a slightly modified (handle) chopper that comes with the Ugr's kit

Small update also for my Lineage Highborne conversion - changed the ''end tip'' of the glaive (made from the standard's part), and added some ''adorment'' on her left shoulder (made from the 2 parts of the other glaive).

Consistently great work Shadow. I adore that new Spire kit and can't wait to add it to my collection. (I'm trying to get what I have done now before adding for the first time ever)

New faction preview.

It is very good that they learned from the release of Nords, and that orcs will get much more units at the start, allowing them to be playable without waiting for the next releases. I wonder if the dinos will be separate from the riders? It would make them more sales from people who only want just the pretty dinos and are not interested in the whole army.

Dinosaur renders look great. On the other hand, Orcs on foot are kind of underwhelming. I know there are many different styles for different systems, but the one thing I generally dislike about Conquest's sculpts are how there are so many poses wildly swinging their arms left and right while standing still. Looks a bit derpy.

Which kits do you mean? Also, you need to remember that they are limited by the small bases (23mm for the models that are much bigger than a usual mini).

I haven't noticed it to be honest. None of my guys have arms that are swinging around wildly. They all look pretty similar to most of my warhammer armies.

To be fair, Conquest plastic kits are very flexible. Often with 4+ arms, heads, legs, torsos combinations possible. And easy to mix/bash with other kits.

So plenty of room to customize and build in nice poses, particularly infantry. If your models look static and derpy, you probably built them that way.

New video from our fellow dakkanaut Auticus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThTi3H0jgoQ&feature=emb_logo

2 things I have noticed:
1) You said that Oathmark has no model line, which it has, and the new kits are already announced (cavalry for Humans and Elves, Orc infantry, Ogres, Undead army). Also because their kits are either double or triple, I think they will cover their range sooner than a Conquest will.
2) From their 18 planned faction we know more than the ones you said. We have (I admit sometimes only 1-2 sentences) info about ''the oriental emperor'', ''a council that rules a barren continent which they themselve raised'', ''druidic faction'' (probably the Keltonni tribes), ''enemy of the Exiles'', and there can also be a ''Loki's faction'' if that what is stirring on the north is actually a faction.

Sorry was not aware. The locals playing Oathmark here are all using existing warhammer models or other ranges. None of them are using any "official" models so I guess I just assumed.

As to anything beyond the factions i mentioned, those are the factions they have talked in a bit of depth toward. I dont' know anything about the other ones you mentioned, and anything that they just used a sentence on total I disregard until we have more concrete information as I feel those are coming in like 5 or more years.

The factions I mentioned I can at least talk about for a couple minutes whereas the ones you mentioned those are basically just ideas at the moment with no real substance behind them yet which is why I don't mention them.

Besides the officially announced factions, I only know about the "beings" that made the Exiles run away and how they are coming to Eä to finish the job. Leo talked about them saying there are already concept artworks and they look properly "angelic, far removed from any other Conquest faction". Very curious to see what they do, fluff wise they seem OP if they destroyed the Exile homeland.

But yes, we are probably looking 4-5 years down the line, at best it's faction number 9. First complete the first 4 factions, then w'adrhûn, city-states, old dominion, weavers, etc...

I simply wanted to mention that the other ones are known to exist, nothing more

Its ok I wasn't typing that in anger or anything. I was just clarifying.

How do characters Units feel in this game compared to something like Warhammer?

Can you give an example of what you mean exactly?

Characters are powerful in conquest, but not stupid warhammer levels for the most part. Characters will have an impact but not be wrecking balls by themselves.


Characters cannot exist outside of a regiment. And regiments cannot death star and have multiple characters in them.

You kill the regiment, the character goes with it.

Characters can join other regiments as an action though so they aren't stuck where they are.

Its a game where there is at the moment a lot of viable combinations unlike say AOS or warhammer where you are pretty much pigeon holed into the same meta builds.

That’s about what I wanted to know. I have been curious about the game but haven’t had much of a chance to try it myself.

I mean these Raiders (https://eshop.para-bellum.com/64-large_default/raiders.jpg). Two guys on the far right look like they're having a stroke.

Small bases with big model height are also a problem to be honest. I'm not saying it's inherently bad, if you like it that's great, but I still don't get it why they would ever want so big miniatures for the regimental level game.

I agree that Raiders have weird poses but oher kits are fine to me. As to bases I guess they had to balance the size of the stand with the size of the 4 bases to fit there-the models have both round bases and stands to be usable both for rank&file and skirmish (which will be out soon). As to size of the minis I guess that they wanted only their own minis to be usable for their game.
