Battle Alongside The Mighty W’adrhŭn Braves In Conquest Soon
March 25, 2021 by brennon
We got a look at some of the excellent W'adrhŭn Braves miniatures which are coming to Conquest: The Last Argument Of Kings and First Blood soon from Para Bellum Wargames. These 35mm warriors are on the march and they seem very nice indeed!
W'adrhŭn Braves Box // Conquest
This regiment expansion box comes with a band of warriors who have something to prove. Rising from the steam of the jungles and crossing the Claustrine Mountains, they are ready to prove themselves against the other mighty empires of Conquest.
We'd seen a lot of renders and such previous to this but it's good to finally get a look at the W'adrhŭn in their final painted form. I must say, I do like this take on the classic Orc from the folks at Para Bellum.
W'adrhŭn Braves Miniatures // Conquest
I really like the style of the shields which have been designed to give them maximum coverage as they rush forwards. They've then got deadly and well-used weapons in their hands that are no doubt even more brutal thanks to their muscular owners. The muted tone of the studio paint job is interesting and mixes with the idea of them fading into the jungle. You do have those nice flashes of colour though in the mask of the champion and that big dinosaur banner.
It will be fun to see what people do in terms of paint scheme for these miniatures when they get their hands on them. I could see a lot of folks going with the classic green but I reckon the W'adrhŭn would also suit all manner of colours. Maybe you could go with a ruddy brown/orange to match the Orcs of Warcraft? Perhaps a blue-grey could work if you wanted to highlight their skin a little more?
Are you tempted by the W'adrhŭn?

Those look really good.
Wow they look amazing
Ooh they are brilliant looking tribal Orcs to get a more brutal look to the army’s.
Finally! Orcs that look like orcs, and not Bugs Bunny villains. Well done.
Love these guys. I’ll get them just to paint them……I wonder how they would look with shooters in there hands
I really like the look. This is a step up from GW Savage Orcs. They have a mix of looks that make them look like apes but with a touch of North American Indian and Zulu warriors about them that’s really nice,
there’s only one problem with this faction :
no one is ever going to find them on-line or be able to ask for them by name …
W’adr Hun ?
Water Hun ?
Wadrun ?
Goddamit!! I was already torn between Dweghom & Nords now I’ve got these guys thrown into the mix as well, my bank balance is never going to recover.
