Para Bellum Games, publisher of fantasy Mass Combat Miniature Wargame Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings and Skirmish ruleset Conquest: First Blood, has revealed the next batch of releases for the City States, with science and faith both fielding powerful new infantry regiments, complimented by the might of an elite Officer that will bolster the ranks of existing infantry entries. Three new additions to the Greek-inspired City States are on their way, with the much-anticipated Clockwork Hoplites leading the charge and the dreaded Sacred Band delivering both steel and magic against the foes of their deities. With them comes the Andromachos Officer, a powerful boost to the trusted Agema and Thorakites, further increasing their might and expanding on their strategic capabilities. Whether by mechanically propelled spears, devout tridents and spells or pure mastery over the art of war, the new releases promise a trifecta for the City States!

With stark contrasts in their themes yet an undeniable cohesion in style, the three releases underline all that makes the City States what they are. Bound to further beautify any City States army, each of these releases expresses a different aspect of the faction’s identity. The spear-wielding automata of the Clockwork Hoplites are the epitome of the faction’s magical science, with terrifying, empty glass faces being the last thing an enemy sees as they are cut down. On the other hand, with inspiration drawn from Bronze Age armors and styles, the Sacred Band are the epitome of devotion, each member’s hardened body a prayer to their divinities’ demand for superiority. Finally, the Adromachos, serves as a stark reminder of the ideal of self-perfection, driving others to new heights of excellence. Whether by spear, trident and spell or their very own excellence, each of these releases is bound to bring glory to their Warlords, no matter the style of City States army the prefer!

The Clockwork Hoplites (SRP at USD/EU 39.99), Sacred Band (USD/EU 39.99) and Andromachos (USD/EU 24.99) are available for Pre-Order now and will be released on September 27^th.
