Conquest calls the faithful to arms with the Hundred Kingdoms Orders Starter!

Para Bellum Wargames has announced the Hundred Kingdoms One Player Starter – The Orders, a complete Orders-themed army. These new items will be released on September 25, 2026.

This one-player starter delivers a fully playable First Blood army and a strong foundation for TLAOK, including the new dual-kit St. Lazarus regiments, the new Order of the Sword Priory Commander, an Order of the Sealed Temple Cavalry Set, and a dual-kit Order of the Sword/Militia infantry set. Also included are quick start guides for First Blood II and TLAOK II , assembly instructions, a Path of Conquest guide, twelve 16mm dice, a 2D Terrain Set, an Ea Paper Map, and all necessary Command Cards, bases and stands.

Leading the force is the Order of the Sword Priory Commander, a peerless swordsman who steadies his Brothers Militant in the thick of battle. He’s joined by the Penitents and Martyrs of St. Lazarus, a dual kit pairing an unbreakable defensive wall with a reckless, morale-breaking vanguard, and the Order of the Sword infantry, whose Silubaster-veined arms make them among the most feared infantry in the game.

These are brand new units to the Hundred Kingdom forces that further build the Orders sub-faction. The Hundred Kingdoms field good troops in great numbers, backed by cavalry second to none and a flexibility that keeps opponents guessing. From disciplined infantry lines to thundering charges to shrewd combined-arms tactics.

The Hundred Kingdoms One Player Starter – The Orders is available for preorder now, with release on September 25,2026, at your favorite FLGS and the Para Bellum E-Shop.

Conquest fuses flesh and machine with the City States Artisans Series Terataur Prime!

Para Bellum Wargames has revealed the Artisan Series Terataur Prime, an extraordinary new centerpiece coming to the City States this September.

At the center of the Terataur program stand the Terataur primes, possessing not only the unstoppable mechanical might of the Terataurs, but a fully human mind.When the mortal form of a commander or decorated hero is injured beyond even the ability of the City States chirurgeons to recover, they are given a choice: a hero’s death or the promise of external glory. The few brave, or foolish, souls who agree undergo a fiendishly complex surgery. Through the divine power of phlogiston, their conscious mind is ablated layer by layer onto thin metal sheets. The techne of the City States Theurgists allows them to reconstitute the mind, or those parts that have survived transcription, by layering these sheets with incredibly complex clockwork and crystal arrays, creating a copy of the mind that came before.

Distant and other, these incredible artifacts are then fitted into the bespoke form of a Terataur, granting it a power and resilience it never possessed in life, a true and unstoppable fusion of metal, techne, will and phlogiston.

As an Artisan Series release, the Terataur Prime is sculpted in Conquet’s premium resin tier, making it an amazing model for painting as well; as play, and a striking new addition to a collectors shelf or on the tabletop. First Blood fans will enjoy rules that make this play as either a Populist Hero or Scholae Masterwork unit, each with their own strategic advantage, and disadvantage to create a challenge both for the gamer using this, and their opponent!

Look for the City States Artisan Series Terratur Prime coming in September to your LGS and on the Para Bellum E-Shop.

Games Workshop Pre-Order Preview: The Ogor Mawtribes are coming for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

It’s a Warhammer: Age of Sigmar focused week coming up as the Ogor Mawtribes get a new Battletome and a load of new figures. See what’s coming for pre-order next week from Games Workshop.

Morga the Mighty is one of the most fearsome ogor warlords alive, and enforces her iron dominion with ruthless violence from the back of her personal glutthorn, Grutta. Some say she is even the chosen champion of the Gulping God, though Morga herself pays the ramblings of Butchers little heed. The multi-part plastic kit can also be assembled as a Tyrant on Glutthorn, with multiple build options and the choice of leaving the mount armoured or unarmoured.

  • Morga the Mighty

Standing behind his enormous cauldron, Redd the Maw commands the awe and attention of the Mawtribes as the High Slaughtermaster and, if his tales are to be believed, one of the few to see their god with his own eyes. The intoxicating fumes from his brew whip nearby ogors into a blood-crazed frenzy, while Redd himself calls upon the power of savage gut magic.

Redd the Maw

Ogors often travel the world as mercenaries, and Grell Firefist is one of the most experienced around. Her massive cannon can shred entire units of infantry in one deafening blast – an explosion so loud that it gives other ogors the chance to break away from combat unharmed.

Grell Firefist

Lead your ogors to a crushing victory with the new multi-part plastic Tyrant. These brutal warlords lead from the front and command absolute obedience from their tribe, splitting skulls and severing limbs with wide sweeps of their deadly weapons. The Tyrant kit comes with an assortment of cosmetic parts, including two gut plates, three heads, two sets of weapons for each hand, and two separate back banners.

Tyrant

Call upon the primal power of gut magic with the ogor Butcher – a savage spellcaster who channels the power of the Gulping God into potent attacks and supporting enchantments. Each one comes with a choice of two heads, with or without a hood, and is packed with gory details.

Butcher

Ironguts are the elite warriors of an ogor tribe, clad in extremely heavy armour and armed with a selection of simple, brutal weapons. They make excellent bodyguards for your Heroes, and each pack of three comes with a wide variety of cosmetic parts to choose from including weapons, heads, and more.

Ironguts

As the rank and file of an ogor war horde – or the closest thing to it – Gluttons are straightforward in their desire for battle: simply smash, eat, rinse and repeat. You get five in a box, and each one can choose from a sword, hammer, right or left knuckle-dusters, different heads, and all sorts of optional cosmetic parts. One even gets to swing a massive two-handed hammer around, living their best life.

Gluttons

Cleavers are among the most zealous devotees of the Gulping God, and trawl the battlefield looking for suitable ‘ingredients’ on their neverending journey of reverential consumption. Even more unsettling and twice as macabre are the Gutseers, whose droning chants distract enemy wizards and priests, while their connection to fonts of gut magic lets Butchers channel their spells through the Gutseer cult. This new multi-part plastic kit can build either a unit of three Cleavers or a unit of three Gutseers, with cosmetic options for the Cleavers.

  • Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Cleavers/Gutseers

Hunt the enemy like wild animals with Maulbeast Raiders or smash their battle line apart with Maulbeast Cavalry, whichever tickles your fancy. Each kit builds two Raiders or two Cavalry, with several customization options for each.

  • Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Maulbeast Raiders/Maulbeast Cavalry
  • Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Maulbeast Raiders/Maulbeast Cavalry

Ogors that feel more at home in the wilds than their loud and boisterous camps band together as units of Hunters, who pick off choice enemy targets with enormous crossbows while their pet Sabrefangs snap at anyone foolish enough to get too close. Each box builds three Hunters and two Sabrefangs, with options for bare or helmeted heads and a vulture companion for the optional unit champion.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Hunters with Sabrefangs

The Mantrapper is an excellent marksman who uses the heavy chained bolts fed into his crossbow to pin down enemy units, slowing their charges and preventing flying foes from taking off altogether, while his devious minions distract and disrupt their prey.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Mantrapper

Send some mercenary ogor cavalry to assist your Destruction armies with Okar’s Torrbad, a new Regiment of Renown set. This band of brutal killers is made up of a Huskard on Stonehorn and a Thundertusk Beastrider, whose connection to frosty elementals lets them guide units through freezing storms with preternatural ease.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Okar’s Torrbad

The rules you need for the newcomers above and a bounty of ogor lore can be found in Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes, which is packed with warscrolls, battle traits, spell lores, and tons of awesome artwork. You can get this essential accompaniment to an ogor army in both its regular hardback edition and the Gamer’s Edition release, which includes a portable, softback version of the battletome alongside a full set of warscroll cards for the faction.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes

Ogor Mawtribes Dice allows you to show your allegiance to the mawtribes – and their ever-hungry leaders – by picking up a set of 16 dice cast in frosted grey plastic with black pips and the faction symbol on the six face. Trust us, they’re much easier to roll (and clean) than real knucklebones.

The Horus Heresy Saga: False Gods by Graham McNeill gets a new paperback edition.

Horus Heresy Saga: False Gods

From Noah van Nguyen, Blood of the Godeater, the hotly anticipated sequel to The Godeater’s Son is here, as Heldanarr Fall finds himself at odds with his nature as a brutal slayer. After finding two infant children alive in the ruins of a ransacked settlement, Heldanarr knows that he must protect them, but with rival Chaos Lords circling and rumours of Hammerhal’s legions on the march, he may have to turn to a being that would sooner have him slaughter to his last breath: Khorne, the god of blood, murder, and endless war.

Blood of the Godeater

Witch Hunters: The Omnibus by Nick Horth and Richard Strachan features three novels, four short stories, and a novella. Read all about the determined witch hunters of the Mortal Realms full of twists and turns. It features plenty of witchfinding goodness to sink your stakes into.

The Trebuchet arrives for Conquest games in April!

Para Bellum Wargames, the developer and publisher of the fantasy Regimental Miniature Wargame Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings and updated Skirmish system Conquest: First Blood releases a completely new model for the Hundred Kingdoms in April The Trebuchet. Castles and men at arms form the backbone of the feudal might of the Hundred Kingdoms. Well aware of this, the Emperors of the Tellian Empire wished to ensure that the ability to breach fortifications and sweep those men from the battlefield remained unmatched amongst their vassals. The Imperial Collegia were created to develop these deadly machines of war, something they continue doing at the behest of the Imperial Throne, even when the Emperors of old are long gone. The monopoly on the advanced principles needed to successfully construct these deadly machines of war is one of the tools the Imperial Chamberlain often employs, allowing chosen allies, even if temporary ones, to wield the awesome might fo these power machines against their foes.

This “Monster” Miniature comes with 3 different sling firing positions, 8 Crew Figures, and 2 each of a decorative brazier, barrel, stone, and firepot. This allows the Hundred Kingdoms player to create quite a scene on game tables. This sits on 2 monster bases, and can be played in both The Last Argument of Kings and First Blood!

The Trebuchet is available for Pre-Order now at an SRP of USD 139.99 /EU 129.99.

This will be released on April 30th worldwide.
