Have you played Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings? It’s a dynamic rank-and-flank fantasy wargame by Para Bellum Games that is gaining traction in the tabletop scene. It’s a perfect match for anyone who loves strategic play, immersive fantasy worlds, and beautifully detailed miniatures.
Whether you’re a seasoned wargamer or new to mass battle games, Conquest offers a unique experience where regiments, warlords, and monsters collide in fast-paced, objective-driven warfare. With alternating activations and tactical choices shaping every round, each decision on the battlefield carries real weight – from holding key terrain to crushing enemy formations.
A Game with Momentum and Pressure
One of our favourite mechanics in Conquest is its command stack system. Players use command cards, which are then revealed one at a time as the round progresses. Combine that with reinforcement rolls that determine when units arrive on the battlefield, and you get an engaging sense of tension and momentum – especially as waves of troops surge onto the table as they progressively get larger.
This layered strategy creates a compelling experience that rewards smart planning and battlefield awareness.
What Table Size is Conquest Last Argument of Kings?
Games of Conquest are typically played on 4×4 or 6×4 foot tables (depending on the scenario), making them a great fit for our 3D printable terrain at Saucermen Studios. In fact, our DarkMyth Village set pairs beautifully with the game’s mechanics, especially since Conquest includes rules for occupying garrisons and navigating detailed environments.
Because our terrain is support-free, modular, and push-fit, it’s fast to print and easy to set up for large battlefields. The flexibility also means you can build immersive towns, ruined outposts, or objective-focused zones to enhance your scenarios.
If you’re designing a thematic battlefield for your Conquest forces, be sure to check out our fantasy terrain range – it’s fully compatible and brings a rich sense of place to every skirmish.
Beautiful Miniatures & Free Rules
Para Bellum have done an impressive job with the game’s visual design too. Their miniatures feature crisp sculpts and distinct faction styles, backed by a deep and expanding lore. What’s more, their core rules and army builder are completely free, making it easy to get started or experiment with new lists. Get the rules here.
There’s even a skirmish variant called First Blood, which offers smaller-scale engagements – perfect for quicker games or campaign-style play. While we haven’t had a chance to try First Blood yet, it’s on the list!
