Dive Into Conquest with First Blood Starter Box from Para Bellum Games

Dive into Para Bellum Games’ Conquest – a rank-and-file wargame with deep lore and amazing minis – with the First Blood starter box!

Not familiar with Conquest? Conquest is a mass battle, rank and file wargame with a ruleset by Alessio Cavatore – who worked on Warhammer Fantasy and is the head designer for Riverhorse. There are multiple factions, and each offers its own unique fluff, play style, and look. It also has rich lore behind it.

Para Bellum describes it as easy to pick up but complex and challenging to master. Instead of traditional player turns and deployment, it uses a command stack mechanic. Each player determines the order of troop activation at the start of each turn, and different types of troops – light, medium, and heavy – have their own roles in battle thanks to a unique escalation reinforcement mechanic. Lead your forces to victory using strategy and foresight.

First Blood Starter Box

Get started with this two-player new starter set for First Blood! This time the Old Dominion takes on the W’adrhŭn! For those who don’t know, the W’adrhŭn are the powerful Orc equivalents in Conquest, while the Old Dominion is the brand new Undead faction in the game. The starter set is aimed at the skirmish game Conquest: First Blood, but if you expand the collection, you can use these same very figures in Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings.

It is worth noting that this starter set is for the new second edition ruleset of the game. It even comes with two rulebooks. How cool is that! It looks like an awesome starter set to me.

Wrapping it up…

I am not sure about you, but I am excited about both of these new miniatures sets from Para Bellum Games. If you want to save some money, I have a coupon code and some links on my personal site that can get you these minis at a discount.

Until next time, Happy Gaming, Everyone!!!
