Wardens & Initiates Join The Dweghom Of Conquest
July 14, 2022 by brennon
The Dweghom of Conquest are getting themselves a brand new 35mm dual kit for use when making your armies for The Last Argument Of Kings and warbands in First Blood. See what you make of the Wardens and Initiates that are available from Para Bellum Wargames right now.
Dweghom Wardens Box // Conquest

The first of the boxed sets that we're looking at focuses on the Wardens. The Wardens have a distinctly classical Dwarven look to them compared to some of the other releases for the Dweghom. Armed with deadly axes and war picks, they are often sent down into the darkness to protect the Holds from whatever dangers dwell in their depths. They find themselves wrapped up in a relentless life of conflict making them a deadly unit indeed.

This gives you another pretty awesome infantry option for your Dweghom armies that seem like they would be super fun to paint. I love the big flowing robes and the way the armour feels like it has been designed to give them as much movement as possible. I like that even their banner is a weapon!
These particular warriors remind me a lot of the Dwarves in Dragon Age who fight down in the depths until they are taken by some terrible monster. You could seriously paint them up as a proper Legion Of The Dead.
The second option made using this kit is the Initiates of the Dweghom.
Dweghom Initiates Box // Conquest
These are those prospective members of the Ardent Creed who have been banded together so they can experience some real danger on the battlefield. Behind their massive shields and with big spears in hand, they work together to hold the line or perhaps even push forward and crush their foes under a weight of metal and muscle.

It's neat to see the Conquest take on the "Beardling" idea with their short, shorn faces and bald heads. I could just imagine these warriors holding a tight tunnel as waves and waves of Spires Clones slam into those shields.
So, two awesome new sets to choose from when it comes to Conquest and the Dweghom. Whilst I am a big fan of the Nords, it is nice to see more popping up for the Dweghom.
Are you liking the look of these miniatures?

Those look really good.
Those Initiates really remind me of the old Chronopia Dwarfs (Horned Ones and Warshield) for some reason (I seem to remember figures in pairs with one with a big old shield and one with a spear). Or was it in the Middle Earth ranges from GW, not sure where I’ve seen it before.
…but still some very nice minis (and not overly “fussy” and overladen with details as some of the later releases from Para Bellum have been). Like ’em (a rarity from me 😀 )
Ooh now that’s what you call Shield wall.
it’s also what one would call dwarves 😉
(GW take note … look at those beards 😀 )
Yup.
