The Yoroni Shikigami arrive for Conquest in February

Posted on by

Para Bellum Wargames releases a completely new unit for the Yoroni in February for Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings and Conquest: First Blood. Not all Yoroni succeed at attaining the pinnacle of the Five-Fold Path. Some are simply too reduced, too weakened by their ordeal to reach the top. Stranded halfway, these weakened and reduced souls would be doomed to an eternity trapped within the Eternal Pagoda were it not for the efforts of the Kototamagaku. These skilled practitioners are capable of calling forth these weakened spirits by invoking their name, aiding them in crossing over to the Prime domain even in their weakened form. Thus reduced, these pitiful remnants lack the raw power of the Yoroni who cross on their own, but make up for it in sheer numbers and the boundless exuberance for even a brief respite in the Prime domain is enough to empower these souls, invigorating them to return to the Five Fold Path with a vengeance and attain its peak, crossing forth on their own.

Sold as a set of 3 main brute miniatures, the box will include an incredible array of extra for fans. In game, Shikigami give the Yoroni forces a cost-effective screening regiment, enabling elite units to maneuver around them with greater tactical flexibility as well as Charging and Volleying straight through the screen.  They are considered size 1.

The Yoroni Shikigami is available for Pre-Order at an SRP of USD 64.99 /EU 59.99. This set will release February 27th worldwide, the same day that the new edition of First Blood will be released to the universe!

Grab a friend and… have an argument, as you can’t decide which choice is your favorite. That is the situation in which Para Bellum Games, publisher of fantasy Mass Combat Miniature Wargame Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings and Skirmish ruleset Conquest: First Blood, is putting the wargaming community, with its new 2-Player Starter Set. In one corner, the Set features the brand-new Yoroni, the ninth, and first Brute-only, faction of Conquest, featuring Yokai-inspired demon samurai that break a new frontier in fantasy wargaming with their aesthetic and style. In the other corner, a classic beloved: the mighty W’adrhŭn, Conquest’s dino-riding warriors and their powerful beasts, starring their latest behemoth of an entry: the flying Quatl, along with its Windlord Predator. With 10 Brute-sized Yoroni models and six W’adrhŭn entries, featuring 2 different dinosaur Brute entries led by the monstrous Quatl, the contents of this box are practically begging to be painted and fielded against each other!

The box features 16 Brute-sized entries and a Monster, offering incredible value, while also including everything else needed to start assembling your new Conquest armies. With two Welcome Guides, two sets of Quick Start guides for both games, two Wooden Conquest Measuring Tools, two Sets of 12 Dice, all the bases, stands, Command and Ideal Cards needed for each army to start playing, assembly manuals, two Folded Paper Maps, this is an absolute must for beginners and fans of Conquest. But while the practical approach makes a case for itself, in this primal clash of the mighty, it is indeed hard to see beyond the cool factor: Demon samurais versus dinosaur-riding warriors. Who would win? How will you choose which faction to play? Maybe it’s really a one player starter that gets you starting two new armies?

The answer awaits on your tables!

The “Two Player Starter Set – Yoroni vs W’adrhŭn” is available for pre-order at participating FLGS, or on our eshop and will be released on March 28th, at a SRP of USD/EU 199.99.

Opportunities like this are not to be missed. Coming out swinging, the Yoroni, the ninth faction of Conquest, make life easier and cooler than ever for players, as Para Bellum Games, publisher of fantasy Mass Combat Miniature Wargame Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings and Skirmish ruleset Conquest: First Blood, is putting a bit over 1000 points worth of brute army in a double-digit priced Cohort Box. Inside the Yoroni Cohort box, eleven Brute sized miniature await, with Tengu, Kappa, Oni and Kami answering the call of a Kitsune Onmyoji Character. And thanks to the flexible special rules of the Yoroni, the… magnificent eleven Brute-sized models of the Cohort are suitable for both Mass Combat and Skirmish systems as is. With a range of different models and an entirely new aesthetic and playstyle, the Yoroni Cohort Box is here to scratch every itch of a Yokai-themed wargaming army, be it playing endless battles, trying new painting ideas or both!

The Cohort contains 10 Ideal Cards, a Quick Start Guide for First Blood with Welcome Guide and a ‘ready to play’ Army List for First Blood.

The Cohort One Player Starter for Yoroni is one of the best starting points for a new army in wargaming – and it’s ready for two games.

If there was ever a time to try something new in wargaming, this is it. The “First Blood Cohort – Yoroni” box is available for pre-order now and will be released on April 25th, at an SRP of USD/EU 99.99.

Para Bellum reveals the ninth Conquest army.. The Yoroni!

Yoroni

After months of speculation among the community, Para Bellum Wargames, the developer and publisher of Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings and Conquest: First Blood, has revealed its 9th faction: the demonic samurai called Yoroni! A unique twist which marries the elegance of Japanese mythology to violent elements of the demonic from fantasy culture, the Yoroni are an easy-to-play, hard to master, brute-only faction. They feature a bruiser-like gameplay style, with mighty warriors and powerful abilities, giving players their own, unique and versatile way to dominate the battlefield, while bringing a whole new aesthetic on tabletops. With the graceful sophistication of artistry combined with the brutality of primordial warriors, a whole new, uniquely styled series of canvases to paint is coming for Conquest. And with this being a Brute army, it has never been easier to get into Conquest; or start a brand-new army you didn’t know you needed.

Once parts of the endless legions of the Primordial War of Hosts, the hapless entities that would in time be turned into the Yoroni were cast into the very depths of the Elemental Domains. Seeking to reach the world of Eä through a spiritual process of Enlightenment, the Yoroni now enter the physical world en masse – threatening to disturb the balance of all things!

With deep lore, beautiful minis, and new tropes to explore in the world of Conquest, the Yoroni promise to provide entertainment on and off the table – with endless battles, lore, and hobby time! Focused on brutes, they will be easier to collect, while the boldness of their playstyle is bound to appeal to both new and old players alike!

This new faction is set to launch with a limited-edition Artisan Series Kitsune preview model in February, along with a Two Player Value Starter in March that will pit the Yoroni against the W’adrhŭn, while saving 2 gaming buddies $200 over the pricing if purchased separately.

The Yoroni are available to preorder now on the Conquest E-Shop and at your FLGS! Para Bellum will have the Kitsune preview at GAMA Trade Show, and for gamers at Tactica in Hamburg and The International Games Festival in Cannes. The launch of the Starter and many Brute Sets will be in March timed with Adepticon!
