Question about their latest post on their FB (see below) - is anyone familiar with these paints? If yes, do you recommend them or not, and why?

I havent but a local player has. He used them to paint his Infinity models. said they are similar to GSW Chameleon paints. Cant see any flecks in the metallics so leave pretty smooth finish. Also recommeds for best effect to paint them over a gloss black basecoat. The gloss is what brings out the best colourshift effect.

I love GSW paints but I have to get the chameleon paints imported where I am so its a winner if I can get these from my LFGS... and Ive got a load of Dweghom bilt and ready to paint

Big thanks for the info

Nords Trolls and Bow-Chosen:

Bow Chosen really are phenomenal sculpts



Can't expect less from PB resin.

A bit on the pricey side of things, but certainly worth it.

Those look awesome and could fit one or two projects of mine...

Those bow chosen look like the best Conquest release hands down.

Trolls also look better than I expected. I wish they had more bare heads, but there might be options on the sprue.

It looks like at least some hair and masks may be a separate pieces so I think it would be possible to make a full bare headed unit (which I also would like to be able to do).

Bowsen look pretty sweet, the trolls not so much imo. I thought they were ice-zombies or something at first glance; the disjointed posing but almost entirely human looking body brought that aesthetic to mind.

I think Trolls look less good in that pic. Perhaps it is the painting and how they rank up because the old pic where they are have warmer colours and loose formation is quite awesome.

Edit: Plus they didn't change at all, so probably an "old" kit per PB standards. Unlike other "old" previewed models like Longbows or the Drake that did get changes.

One more pic

These might be the first Troll miniatures outside of Mierce I will actually pick up, all the better due to the Conquest scale. They really look night

Hm, they just look tired and slumpy to me, and not in a good way.

The Artisan Series Dweghom Raegh https://www.instagram.com/p/CKfPDL5nzUN/

Looks nice, would have to see a 360 though.

The city state hoplites look really cool!

Wait isn't that a picture of our resident Jeff Hardy lookalike Auticus at the bottom of that newsletter?

Yes, he is the one we should thank for the Underspire to exist.


Resin double kit for Dweghom Exemplar and alternate sculpt for a Hold Raegh https://eshop.para-bellum.com/pre-orders/211-dweghom-artisan-series-exemplarraegh.html

Dweghom Drake:

Cool!

Almost thought with the new (to me, at least) head it would build both variants! Maybe it would be a simple enough conversion, though. No idea what the ironclad is supposed to look like.

That's cool. I appreciate that the beast beneath has all it's detail sculpted.

Forgot to mention that the last pic - color one - is the old version prototype so do not treat it as a finished product

That beastie is beautiful.

Also, I have to say the following, after trying the alfa rules (got permission to talk about them).

If you hope w'adrun to be like orcs'n'goblins/ironjawz/bonesplitters you will be sorely disappointed. This army will be more involved, more rewarding, and more complex than those three, and will not involve merely rushing ahead and smashing up things.

Exactly, they will play according to the tunes of the drums

Yes. Honestly, the wardrums are very convenient. Same goes for the cult of conquest.

So which faction in this game is the simplest one? I like to follow the words of Lord Nelson "Never mind the maneuvers, just go straight at them"!

Nords. Dual blooded ferried by trolls and smack people.

Interesting, I'm not that keen on the look of Nords to be honest!
Are the 100 Kingdoms particularly complex? They have nice lore and models.
