The rate they keep putting kits out, you could honestly proxy in Conquest models for a typical RPG encounter at this point.

Or maybe that's just me. I seem to have an awful lot of Conquest models from just about every faction.

The first of my Yoroni models show up today, so I'm very much in Conquest mode at the moment!

Don't forget the W'adhrun get another monster sized unit to accompany the Scion of War.



These big boys are the Chosen of War. Going to have to see how they compare to the Warberd, seeing as how I already have those guys painted up.

Being 40mm makes you stand out. Sure it means less cross compatibility but that is true of any game that isn't a GW scale.

I suspect that Conquest is the kind of game that really makes a visual impact on the tabletop over online where - honestly - photos are good but they don't really sell scale. Esp if the photos are all of things the same scale as each other in a battle.

Yeah their monsters are enormous and they definitely draw the crowds at shows.

Yeah and honestly the prices are not that insane either. It's not like 75mm models that really can catch attention but then the prices on them plus any terrain or game features tend to really really put people off them.

Already ordered the City States lion

A solid decision.

I'd say you are correct. I got into Conquest around Christmas last year but I wasn't super sold on the models when I saw them on the web store. Larger models seemed an odd choice for a mass battle rank and flank game and the size of the models isn't communicated in any way in close up photos. They also have a lot less fiddly, densely packed detail than most 28mm models. The visual spectacle that the larger scale models give ranked up on their trays properly hits when you see an army across the table or view a more distant image of a game being played. Basically conquest models look great viewed as an army on the table top, where as 28mm models have their best impact viewed close up as a single model or unit.

I wonder when they eventually branch out to other games if they will stick to that scale or go for something different.

Have they mentioned doing another game? I don't watch the streams in full (only occasionally zipping through them at intervals to see previews) so don't know if they've hinted at something like that.

If it was in a completely different genre like space scifi then I suppose it's possible. If it was a time period/setting/genre that even had the remote possibility of figure crossover with Conquest (whether officially or just unofficially), I'd say that would be a bad idea and would just serve to annoy or anger their existing customers.

They also might not branch out - not every game firm does.

With like 18 factions planned i cant see them branching out anytime soon

They haven't even finished this one. Shifting gears when they still haven't delivered what they promised would not be a good financial nor social (in the sense that it will irk parts of their customer base who may not want to see their efforts divided) move.

Maybe they'll make a sci-fi spin off a decade or so down the line. Probably way too early to tell.

It depends; if Conquest starts selling well enough that they can run two teams at once and keep up with design, marketing, production and all for both concurrently then it can be a great direction to take a firm.

It's only a problem if they try to cover two games without any team/infrastructure expansion and thus can only do one at a time.

Some crazy stuff for the Old Dominion

That Unhallowed Sepulchre dual kit is insane. Nice bit of bonus terrain too depending on which build you go for (though could probably pretty easily magnetize for either.

Dweghom are always a bit hit or miss for me but these fall on the right side I think.

That Spires flyer looks awesome!

If Unhallowed Sepulcher is the new name for Profane Sepulcher, then the Old Dominion Army List is now full.
So where did they go? Their images were used in the merchandising vote and they were in the first teaser, so I feel like I was tricked by the creators.

The lady statue is a karyatid/kanephor.

The fiery angelman is just concept art that hasn't become anything, yet.

It's something you sort of get used to with Para Bellum. Things they show can often be shown too early/things are way too malleable in general for previews (of concept art, rules, really anything) to be taken literally.

That's true, but then they should stop using this image as an icon for the Old Dominion options on the official site.

It's the artwork that sold me on the faction as well. A lot of the core elements of the Karyatid design did make it into the models (other than the disc-like/halo mask) but obviously didn't work as a direct translation for whatever reason.

My personal hope for the other figure is that it's either a new unit down the line or it becomes the nucleus for a plastic Fallen Divinity; the current one is still an Artisan Series.
