Factions and Miniatures

The game boasts a diverse range of factions, each with its unique playstyle and lore. Some of the notable factions include: The Hundred Kingdoms: Inspired by the politics of the Holy Roman Empire, this faction represents a coalition of human nations with a rich medieval aesthetic. The Spires: A faction known for their advanced technology and elite units, reminiscent of ancient Greece and Greek mythos. The Yoroni: A newly introduced faction that brings a distinctly Japanese mythological flavor to the game, featuring stunning miniatures and unique mechanics.

Each faction comes with its own starter set, which includes a character to lead your army, a selection of units, and a paperback copy of the rules. This makes it easy for new players to dive into the game and start building their forces.

Conquest Two Player Starter Set - Sorcerer Kings vs City States - Grab a friend and dive into the world of Conquest: With proposed scenarios designed to ease you into the system of Conquest, the box contains a starter warband and a commander unit for each faction - Sorcerer Kings, our 8th and newest faction vs the Greek Army of the City States! These City States figures will take you back in time, with the highly detailed sculpting that ancient Greece is famous for. The Sorcerer Kings are a highly sculpted group of Wizards and Sorcerers who operate in the mysticism of the east. The set is ready for two players to clash on game tables. 



W'adrhun: Tontorr - Tontorrs are amongst the largest beasts that the W’adrhun have managed to tame. Normally used as beasts of burden and to aid construction, when a tribe ceases raiding and mobilizes for war, the Tontorrs are often in the vanguard.
