Para Bellum Preview Conquest Brutes & An Ace New Trailer
March 19, 2019 by brennon
Para Bellum Wargames are closing in on the release of their Core Box for use in Conquest: The Last Argument Of Kings. With that, they wanted to show off another of the sets available at launch for the Brutes of The Spire.
We've seen these monstrous beasts across the many months that Conquest has been in development and they still look as dangerous as they did back then. I do like the sculpts here but I think that maybe I'd approach them in a different painting style, perhaps embracing a darker tone to the miniatures as a whole and introducing a little bit of blood and gore!
Whilst I was immediately draw to The Hundred Kingdoms and their rather epic looking Knights I think the monstrous and twisted nature of The Spire might offer up some interesting painting opportunities and such.
Things Forgotten
As well as this preview of the Brutes that you'll be getting for the game the team at Para Bellum Wargames also put together this new trailer, Nepenthe: Things Forgotten.
This trailer gives you a flavour of the background behind the game and what has driven The Spire and The Hundred Kingdoms to clash on the battlefield. I loved the art style and animation here, bringing things to life like a motion comic.
More stories can be read HERE.
Keep an eye out for June 20th as a date in your diaries so you can delve deeper into this game.
Are you interested in Conquest?
"...and what has driven The Spire and The Hundred Kingdoms to clash on the battlefield"
I read the multi-part story they released a while ago, it was pretty good, and wondered when anything else was coming out. I will want to see more of those minis up close and personal before deciding on them…I don’t get much time for wargaming anymore so I doubt I will add another game BUT the minis may get used in some rpg.
We do have a range of Let’s Plays which show everything off if you’re interested.
I must have missed them, I will have to check them out. Thanks.
Interesting looking figure’s with Hint’s of fantasy an chaos so they could fit many games like the dark crystal to resident evil.
Funny you should mention that, I literally spent my last moments before sleep last night reading about the new dark crystal series coming to Netflix and looking up minis to use for a dark crystal campaign, or ways to build some…. and this story is the first one I read when I woke up this morning!
They could be a smaller version of the big crabs thing’s ?
Those look really good.
i am really excited for this game …has very cool and different mechanics… hope its as good as it looks
Ahhh, this game is looking better and better! I could do without buying any more, dam you self control!!
I think I’m getting games mixed up. Which is the one Jerry was talking about on the xlbs about their kickstarter seemingly going down the drain and nobody is getting their stuff?
confrontation from san detour
Ahh yes. And sorry, I had a feeling I was miss spelling your name!
🙂
don’t worry lots of people do, if it’s any help I suppose it could be worse.
Really really looking forward to this game…
I really like their giant weapons.
