Quick question from a random train of thought I just had, does Conquest's critical effect from it's main guns effect models Dug in?

The relevant parts:

Critical Devastation- On a critical hit, instead of suffering a normal damage roll, each model in the AOE is thrown D6" directly away from the attacker regardless of base size...

Dig In- This model gains cover, does not suffer blast damage and does not block LOS. The model remains dug in until it moves, is placed or is engaged...

Thanks in advance.

models that the AOE lies over are hit by the weapon. Normally, all the AOE does is deal out blast damage which they ignore. But if it is a critical, then they do suffer the throws and he damages associated with them, because they have been hit.

Yeah, instead of blast damage I believe they are taking collateral
damage with crit dev.

Excellent! I presume this is the same for Ret units with Force Barrier?

Yep, and Satyxis raiders with their UA that grants force barrier.

Excellent! (I'm sounding too much like Mr Burns here) Go on Ret, clump around Disco's Gungan shield. Mwahahaha!

But dont forget, Models under the AoE cannot cause Collateral Damage to eachother.. just to models were not under the AoE or could not be thrown due to various rules for them.
