If my wife ever makes good on her threat to do an inventory of the models in my garage I'd have a real problem on my hands. Until then, I enjoy playing GSC (along with some other armies located in the garage) at local tournaments and hope one day to prove my gaming group wrong about how terrible I am at this game I love. If you enjoy my articles you can find clips of me actually talking over on my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj8tsc4MsYVyTps-r7T6vmA
My Last Chance to Prove to People I’m Not Terrible at 40k- A Tournament Battle Report Series Part 2
Checkout the continuation of my Necron games from the Maryland Open!
My Last Chance to Prove to People I’m Not Terrible at 40k- A Tournament Battle Report Series
For my last tournament of 9th Edition I played in the Maryland Open. This event ended up hosting 86 players for six rounds at the amazing Tables and Towers in Westminster, MD. This would be my final tournament of 9th Edition, and I debated which of my armies I would bring. With a name like BugProletariat you would think the choice is obvious, but the truth is I haven’t been playing much 40k recently and moving 150 Genestealer Cult models around the table seemed like it would be a chore over 6 rounds. Instead, I chose to bring my beautifully spray canned/Nuln Oiled Necrons to the event (if this army doesn’t get a 10 on paint I don’t know what will).
The Definitive Guide To Pheromancy
The Pheromancer from Conquest’s Spires faction will either be the most exciting card you draw from your command stack during a game or the most disappointing. While the Biomancer’s buffing ability and healing is relatively straight forward, the Pheromancer will require much more finesse to use effectively on the battlefield. However, once a Spires general masters the card flipping, command stack altering, force multiplying buffs that the Pheromancer can put out they will be a truly scary opponent to face in a game of Conquest.
An Errant of the Order of the Shield- Fiction
The lore behind Para Bellum’s Conquest is one of the best, if not the best, in all of wargaming. The rich worldbuilding is on a level that is rarely reached by some fantasy authors, let alone wargame developers. The lore has inspired me to take a stab at some of my own fiction based on the world of Ea that Para Bellum Games has created. Hope you enjoy, and if you would like to see more of this content in the future be sure to let me know in the comments! Enjoy the read:
The Definitive Guide to Biomancing
In previous versions of Conquest the Biomancer put out absurd amounts of healing and force multiplying buffs to a Spires army. There was really no need for a guide on how to use the Biomancer because it was as simple as “take three and never loose a Regiment.” While the Biomancer’s healing has been toned down a bit, and he requires must more finesse to use effectively than before, he is still an extremely valuable tool. The Biomancer comes with the Biotic Renewal Draw Event which allows him to heal the Regiment he is in for D6 wounds (unless he find himself in a Brute Regiment then the healing is reduced to D3). In addition to the healing from his Draw Event, a Biomancer has the character action Mend Flesh. This actions allows him to select a Regiment within 8 inches and heal it for 2 wounds. This substantial amount of healing isn’t even all of the support a Biomancer can lend to your Spires army! In addition to the healing he also character specific Biomancies:
Para Bellum’s Conquest W’adrhun Summer
There have been a ton of previews coming out of Adepticon from a small wargaming company called Games Workshop (maybe you have heard of them). They are doing a pretty good job at creating hype over their upcoming releases, but they could learn a thing or two from Para Bellum Games and their announcement for their upcoming Conquest releases. Sure, GW has a cool 5 minute animated video of Space Marines fighting Tyranids, but this is something we have all seen before. You know what we all haven’t seen before? A Battle Brontosaurus.
Para Bellum’s Conquest News!
For such a small company, Para Bellum is doing an amazing job with their rapid fire release schedule, constant rules updates/FAQs (that actually balance the game), and the management of their growing community of Conquest players. I have jumped head first into the amazing universe of Conquest and I could not be happier. Below are a list of things coming to the game of Conquest in the very near future.
Chapter Mage vs. Theist Priest When Building a 100 Kingdoms Army
The 100 Kingdoms faction in Para Bellum’s Conquest miniature wargame has two strong choices when it comes to spellcasters, the Chapter Mage and the Theist Priest. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, making them effective in different ways. In this article, we’ll explore the effectiveness of these two characters and how they fit into a winning 100 Kingdoms strategy.
How To Build A 1500pts Nords Army In Just Two Purchases
With the release of the brand new City States vs. Nords starter set, Para Bellum has made getting into the game of Conquest extremely affordable (well, as far as miniature wargames go anyway). There has been a lot of focus on the City States as the new faction in the game, but the other half…
