Faction Taster Sets Coming To Para Bellum Wargames’ Conquest
April 1, 2022 by brennon
Para Bellum Wargames is going to be putting together a set of Faction Taster Sets which should be a good way to dive into the Conquest miniatures range without buying a full army. Each of them contains an assortment of 35mm miniatures from their unique Fantasy range.

There are going to be Faction Taster sets for each of the six available factions that you can dive into with Conquest right now. The idea is that hobbyists could simply pick up one of these and have a bit of fun painting the miniatures.
Hundred Kingdoms Faction Taster // Conquest
These miniatures give you a good look at the different characters and troops that you can include in a Conquest force. You could also use these as unit fillers for your army if you already collect one of these armies.
Nords Faction Taster // Conquest
As well as that, these Faction Tasters could also be used as a good way to boost a First Blood skirmish force. There are already First Blood Starter Packs out there of course, and you can find all of the rules online, but these could be a good option for those looking to switch out a few of the skirmishers in their warband.
Old Dominion Faction Taster // Conquest
These Faction Tasters are going to be released in May and could well be a good way to explore Conquest without having to put down a big ol' wad of cash. I think a lot of folks will find themselves picking up the Old Dominion set just to have a pop at painting the miniatures.
Spires Faction Taster // Conquest
I think I am probably the key market for these sets. I have always been on the fringes of diving into Conquest but have never taken the plunge. I think it would be neat to pick up one of these, free of all the other gubbins so you just have a dozen or so miniatures to tinker with.

So, which of these would you want to pick up? If you've never played Conquest before, which of these would you want to pick up to get a feel for the faction? Are you already a Conquest collector who is looking to expand their collection and want to test out a scheme?

These look great, I’ve never played the game but always been tempted to try out and paint some of the miniatures. Depending on the price might give one of these a go.
Edit: Found on the OTT store for £34, bit pricey for 13 minis especially at the £43 RRP.
Are an extra four models useful if you do take the plunge? E.g. if Bow Armed Spire Thingies come in boxes of 12 is there an option to bump up to 16? Or are these boxes more useful for the skirmish rules?
Fabulous looking figures the hundred kingdom an the dweghom the best of them.
Nice faction sets.
This is ah great way to start out. I’ll want 3 or 4 of these factions. Just cause they Look cool. Best part being I don’t have to buy one of the huge faction starter boxes. I love it.
On the pricey side for a ‘taster’ even if nominally there is value in boxes through the characters.
