Conquest: Magmaforged completed

Finished the back rank of the unit yesterday evening:

Looking forward to giving the boys a run out tomorrow against my old Wadhrun nemesis haha

Conquest: Dweghom Magmaforged

Back on the Dweg train, slower than planned with work being a bitch this last week but half my regiment is ready:

Magmaforged are a defensive powerhouse with high resolve, aura of death and lethal demise so they should be able to punish anyone that wants to get into a grind with them haha.

The next three stands are dry brushed ready for the slapchop to begin tomorrow on my last Monday off before i start back full time at work.

Conquest: Dweghom Wardens

 I've been working on these on and off for a couple of weeks, never having sufficient time to get stuck into them properly until today!

I have a second unit of these i plan on running at the upcoming LGT along with a big block of either Flame Berzerkers or Magmaforged... choices choices!

They are fast for Dweg with Spd6 and have plenty of attacks with cleave to dish out some hurt hopefully.

Conquest: Fireforged

 Finally got round to delving into the big box of Dweghom sprues under my desk haha:

A second unit of Fireforged for my army!

Conquest: Ironclad Drake!

Work and family commitments since coming back from holiday have really hampered the brush time again but I've finally got this big lad painted:

Absolutely love this model and cant wait to give it a run out on the board! I don't think ill be running him as the Bergont Raegh but as a standard Ironclad which should be hitty enough haha.

Conquest: Death Chicken Objectives!

Quick one today to show the objectives i made for Conquest using the tourney prize death chicken models haha.

Had a fantastic days gaming of Conquest at the Southampton Sluggaz event on Saturday, and with two wins and a loss i came 7/18th which was superb!

Conquest: Nords Stalkers

 Rounding out this project for now, and probably my last painted models for 2023 are this regiment of Stalkers for my Nords army:

Not as good as Bow Chosen but quite a few points cheaper, they are a reasonable shooting unit and skirmish line for my forces for now.

Conquest: Sea Jotnar!

 Finished up the other big lad for my forces with this Sea Jotnar:

Another fantastic model to paint up, really pleased how it came out in the end. This leaves me with just some Stalkers to complete for my 1500pts tourney force in three weeks, and just needing to buy some Bow Chosen and another Blooded to complete my 2000pt list for regular play.

Conquest: Mountain Jotnar!

 On to the big guys of the army of which here is the first, a Mountain Jotnar:

I snagged this resin Artisan Series Mountain Jotnar along with a Sea Jotnar in an ebay bargain... almost 50% off it was too good a deal to pass up!

He's been done proper grimy and grubby with patches of grass / mud / tree on him similar to the box art but changing a few colours to reflect my existing force and paint collection. 

Conquest: Nords Raiders!

 Man alive two posts in two days!

Here are a unit of Raiders to be a bunker for my Shaman Warlord to cast is spells and bring his excellent supremacy haha.

I've made the unit so it has a Captain as an Officer for extra resolve and the option of being a medium unit rather than a light unit... situationally handy!

Conquest: Nords Trolls finished!

 I've completed the second rank of the Troll regiment i posted last week:

Glad they are done but its an enjoyable quick scheme to do and should look great with the whole army on the board! 

Conquest: Nords Trolls

 Back with some Trolls for my growing Nords army:

This is only have my regiment but time was short and i wanted to get some stuff posted up, quite enjoyed painting these and they are much better in the flesh than the odd photos on Para Bellum.

Conquest: Nords Blooded and Shaman

 A couple of characters to lead my growing forces today; A Blooded and a Shaman:

Blooded

Shaman

The Blooded is an all rounder would can be equipped as a melee beater or a ranged machine gun haha, the Shaman is well, a wizard... not destructive like the Dweg ones but offering plenty of niche but effective support spells!

Conquest: Nords Ugr

 Next up are a regiment of Ugr, the ogre equivalent brutes for the Nords:

I'm a big fan of these models, they are a bit static but easy to build and paint quickly!

Conquest: Starting Nords and Fenr Beastpack

 Two posts in two days! What a time to be alive haha

I'm applying to be a Vanguard for Para-Bellum, so i need to have a second army available to run demos with and chose Nords because they play entirely different from the Dweghom and they look cool. I picked up the starter box and some of the Jotnar in an ebay bargain hehe:

I started with the easiest models to paint, the Fenr Beastpack, again using slap chop to follow the box art as best i can. These are a light cavalry equivalent in the force, next up will be the Ugr!

Conquest: Inferno Automata

Well a month off painting and hobby with some illness in the family and some incredibly busy work days left me proper drained!

Finally had a breather yesterday to get these completed:

Will certainly be nice to get some faster moving stuff on the board for my Dweghom haha. 

Conquest: Tempered Sorcerer!

No time for painting last week as i was mad busy following the LGT! Today I've finished this Tempered Sorcerer off that arrived a week or so ago:

He's had a bit of a nerf since i bought him but still fine to play... his unit of Automata should arrive in a few weeks then i can get him on the board as I start to build up my next army for the game with Nords!

Conquest: Hellbringer Drake

 Take a while to get enough time to finish the beast but its done now:

Tempered Sorcerer on Hellbringer Drake to bring me back to fully painted for my Dweghom! Next month i plan to add a Sorcerer on foot and a unit of Inferno Automata to add to the one from the FB set... and get me ready for the LGT too whoop!

Conquest: Dweghom Initiates

 Rounding out the models from the First Blood set are the regiment of Initiates:

Armed with long spears and massive shields they will provide a cheap defensive block to park on an objective zone and just sit haha.

Thats all my current infantry painted, now to the Hellbringer!

Conquest: First Blood Dweghom

 Here's a few of the models from the First Blood Starter Box:

Ardent Kerawagh

Herald of Stone

Inferno Automata

Thankfully all the First Blood boxes come with the trays for the main game! I'll pick up a regiment box of Infernos at some point to make the one i have playable, and will next be working on a regiment of the big spear and shield guys.
