Beware the things in the forest, for they will be your next Conquest purchase… Para Bellum Games, publisher of miniature games Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings and Conquest: First Blood announced at UKGE 2025 another new faction, the second to join the fray in 2025. It will hit shelves beginning in September, with continuous releases through Holiday 2025. This new faction is none-other than the long-anticipated Weaver Courts!

Estranged cousins to the Spires, the Weavers were those Exiles who refused to turn to Biomancy, instead viewing the world of Eӓ as a gift, to be treasured and nurtured. Venerating their natural gift of Life-Binding, they bonded themselves with the life around them, forming four seasonal courts to match their different dispositions. Now, with bodies merged with those of animals, plants, insects and even the elements themselves, the first teases promise an army of otherworldly elegance, combining eerie beauty to the cold, pragmatic violence of the natural law. Playing around synergy between units and fine-tuned by the influence of the different seasonal Courts, the Weaver army is set to use ranged units to mark targets and enable combos in conjunction with melee regiments, promising a strategic, agile and interwoven army.

First teased years ago, the Weavers had captured the imagination of the Conquest community, bringing an eerie, fey-touched approach to the woodland trope. Insect-limbed humanoids with elegant features have been revealed, as well as feather cloaks, plant-like masks, fiery-haloed faces and antlered warriors—all promise a beautiful mosaic of an army, one of mesmerizing beauty and ruthless efficiency. With their unique playstyle and the chromatic tapestry of their Courts, the Weavers promise a unique army on the table and endless hours of hobby time.

Weavers are Conquest‘s unique take on the elusive, ranged skirmisher. But unlike traditional ranged units, they don’t rely solely on firepower to claim victory – they introduce an entirely new combo-building dynamic to the game. For Weavers, ranged attacks aren’t the primary source of damage. Instead, they serve as powerful enablers, applying statuses to enemy regiments while fast-moving melee allies close in to exploit the advantages and complete the combo. Weaver regiments apply a universal Mark – almost like planting a seed – that, depending on Faction Rules, Supremacies, or Spells, can grow into a variety of effects. Plan your round carefully – your strategy could blossom into success or wither away!

The Weavers, Conquest’s tenth faction and the second to be released in 2025 after the Yoroni, will be released in 2025 starting with a Limited-Edition Preview model at Gen Con in Indianapolis this July!
