I know it's extremely unlikely because they would be advertised as such, but I'm thinking that Hunting Packs are going to be Raptor Riders without the Riders.

Not sure how much I want to bet on this, because I don't plan on running huge amounts of Raptors but buying an extra kit or 2 to have Hunting Packs would be a pretty fun idea... but if it turns out Hunting Packs are a totally different kind of dinosaur that's going to be pretty silly!

Would they be the first unit that is a "swarm"?

Also, is the army builder not up to date with the FAQ/errata?
Errata says Eruption is 45pts but army builder (and army list!) says 60pts.
Also Flank's wording in the army builder doesn't match the Errata.

I was just looking at that! It's making me re-tool my planned list and purchases... now, maybe if I moan a little bit about them not releasing an apex predator model, I can get a mount for my matriarch too?

So I played my FIRST GAME of Conquest: Last Argument of Kings last night (have played First Blood before) and it spawned some questions. I may have asked some of these questions a few months ago when I played First Blood.

1. Does Nord Blooded have to be on the table to use its Supremacy ability to give all units in its warband Flank?

2. I have a Scion of Conquest in a 5 stand unit of W'adrhun Blooded with an Aberration which offers the Regiment Lethal Demise. A Nord Blooded Duels the Scion of Conquest. Does Lethal Demise trigger?

3. The Scion of Conquest had level 2 Tactics of Conquest retinue, which made him and the regiment he joined Conquest cult. When he dies, does that regiment stop being Conquest cult?

4. Characters can't call the Battlecry, so if a character would add the third token to the Chant sequence, you aren't required to spend it, right? So the next regiment to activate can chant the battlecry with 4 tokens?

5. If I have 4 tokens in the chant sequence as of activating my Scion of Conquest, and then cast Crescendo to allow another unit to immediately activate out of sequence, can they chant the battlecry?

6. A unit of cavalry charges an enemy unit. Impact Hits happen as part of the charge? So Resolve is tested after the Charge action, then Clash is declared, and the enemy unit must test Resolve again?

edit: 7, just remembered: If I'm engaged, can I Clash, kill the unit I'm engaged with, and then for my second action Volley?

Thanks!

NO - covered in faq i believe.

Correct. Resolve happens for every wound caused.

edit: 7, just remembered: If I'm engaged, can I Clash, kill the unit I'm engaged with, and then for my second action Volley?
Yes.

Thanks!

Amazing. My Nord playing friend is ecstatic. Last night we played it as his Blooded Warlord needed to be on the table to activate it, which meant his Trolls showed up late to the party.

Glad we played the other two bits there correctly! Raptor Riders are nasty

edit: Just realized Raptor Riders, as Light stands, don't do Impact Hits. OOPS

1) No.
2) No.
3) Yes
4) No, you discard any of the 3 pre-existing tokens.
5) You cannot have 4 tokens, otherwise it is correct.
6) yes
7) yes

Thank you! Yup, re-reading the rules it is clear that I can only have 4 tokens with a drum beast with the special upgrade, or I can have a "virtual" 4 tokens if my unit has Fanatic.
What's funny is that I knew this and before the game I was describing how with a combo I could do some BIG BIG plays, but in the heat of the game that slipped my head. in any case, I am very excited to play more W'adrhun and am already planning conversions/proxies.

I'm thinking a Scion of Conquest with Quicksilver Strike can be a nasty little surprise duelist...

I decided to get into Conquest and bought the starter set. I'm really happy so far, really love the artwork of the box, cards and manual. I appreciate the fact that the designers are trying to create a unique world, since most of the other fantasy wargames are so generic. I also like the inovative gameplay, especially the using of cards.

Nice! Are you going to collect both Spires and 100k or sharing with a friend?

If you haven't, it could be a good idea to join the discord server: https://discord.gg/DHXwjjh7VB . Lots of activity, including devs drop by from time to time to share teasers

I'm sharing the box with someone, so the two player starter is perfect. Alright, I will take a look at the discord channel.

Which army from the starter box did you choose for yourself, Spires or 100K?

SPIRES !! By far the most unique faction (In my opinion, of course). But all factions are cool, I like that Conquest has a very...heavy metal vibe. Next I want to get some marksmen, my local hobby store has them in stock.

Btw, should I purchase the army support pack ? Is it useful ? and which one, the original, 2nd, or both ? Are the cards included in these packs different from the ones included in the 2 player starter set ?

One more question: what is the standard army point size Conquest is played ? Like for example, for 40k is 2000 points. Thank you.

For what it's worth to you, the tournament pack lists games happening at 2000 points.
I've been playing at 1000 with intent to grow to 1500/1750.

Yeah, Spires are the most unique creation and also my favourites fluff wise. Marksman Clones are very good choice after the core box. Get the newest support pack as it has all updates for the cards and also spare units cards. Standard game points really depend only on your group preferences, and also on the size of your table space. For the beginning start with 1000-1500 to learn the rules, and then expand to 2000 or more.

There is no standard size, though tournaments are set at 2000 points so as such I expect the community to gravitate toward tournament standard as they do with every other game.

I asked that question because in general games are balanced around a certain army size - you can play them at different sizes, but they might not be as enjoyable. So basically I was curious what is the ideal size for Conquest, to fully experience it.

Ok, First Blood veterans, please tell me what is the best number of Stalkers to field? I ask because I have 8 built, and TBH I have no wish to do more as all those mold lines/gaps to clear/close were not fun. Same question for Trolls (which are not built yet so I have more space for decission).

I guess it depends on how many points you want for FB but 8 models per unit should be more than enough, especially for rather elite-type troops (for chaff I'd consider more).
Trolls are tough and expensive, so I bet they work fine in small numbers.

For my FB forces I'm building small units (4-8 max) as the cool thing about skirmish is building lots of different kits without needed too much minis.

Trolls are optimal in 4-5 stands a unit. Usually two units.

Stalkers... don't really see being used until they are rebalanced. They usually counts-as bow-chosen.

First retinue model for the Blooded or rather the beginning of it. The plan, so far, is to cut hands with weapons from a Raider plus use the head from the same kit, and glue it on this Stalker body (once I have the parts needed).

And in the meantime, while waiting for the Raiders sprue to arrive, I made a simple conversion from one Stalker, turning him into squad leader/another possible retinue model. I used parts from their standard to create this ''sickle sword''.

Hi guys, I have another question. I toyed with the army builder app from para-bellum (really cool and free!! bravo!) and I noticed quite a few units that cannot be bought (at least I haven't found them on their site). For 100 Kingdoms would be: court squires, imperial rangers, mounted squires, sicarii, 3 priory commanders and 5 Orders. For Spires: bound clones, centaur, desolation beast, desolation drones, incarnate sentinels, leonine avatara, onslaught drones, prowlers, pteraphons, siegebreaker behemoth, stryx.
Can these units be purchased from somewhere, do they exist in physical form ? maybe converted ? or these are units yet to be released ? Thank you.
