For all of us history nerds out there, this is really cool. Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings, a fantasy rank and file miniatures game, brings us a new unit for their “undead” faction, the Old Dominion.
It is the nature of power to corrupt. Few individuals were as aware of this universal truth as the Caelesors of the Old Dominion. Like the Praetorians replaced the Athanatoi and their unbending devotion to the writ of Hazlia, so were the Varangians established upon the ashes of the Praetorian Guard when their mortal weakness and thirst for power saw them betray their leaders. Through the centuries of unrest and the Fall that followed, the Varangians have stood guard over the Caelesors and those closest to them, bringing bloody death and vengeance to any who would dare harm them.
Para Bellum Games
These undead mercs are coming to the Old Dominion and wow are they cool. The Varangian Guard were superstar warriors in their day and worked as mercenaries in the ancient world. Ambitious Northmen would often make the trek south to earn fame and fortune as a member of the Varangian Guard, so it is very cool to see them on the tabletop.
These are coming out for pre-order soon!
