PATH OF CONQUEST
The Broken Sword' Slow Grow League by Para Bellum Vanguard Rob Hensell
What: This is a beginners League for Conquest The Last Argument of Kings table top wargame by Para Bellum. This will be a variant of the online #PathofConquest league by Para Bellum.The purpose is to help newcomers slowly build an army of their choice from the available factions over the course of several months by purchase, assembly, list building, painting, learning how to play the game and your faction, playing games, and of course, having fun building a local community and meeting new people.
Where: This event is hosted by 'The Broken Sword' game store in Plainwell, Michigan. The store is an official retailer of Conquest and has many in-stock items plus can order specific regiments as needed. League games will be played here. Also, progress pics and league updates will be posted online on the 'Conquest at 'The Broken Sword' Facebook group. Optional posting on the 'Michigan Conquest: TLAoK" Discord is encouraged, but not mandatory.
How: While we all have some competitive nature, this league is not designed for a high level of it. As this league is designed for beginners it will have a basic structure and a focus on learning and having fun. That's not to say that current players are not welcome! They most assuredly are and all are welcome to participate keeping in mind the former thoughts.
This league will have monthly completion steps called Milestones. Players will start with a 600 point max legal warband. Each additional Milestone players will need to add 300 points worth of additional troops until our goal of 1800 points. Each Milestone, player lists must still remain as legal per standard Conquest The Last Argument of Kings rules for army building. We will use the 1.5.1 rules build. LISTS NEED TO BE SENT TO ROB HENSELL EVERY MILESTONE.
Players must, at least once per Milestone, get one game in (played at The Broken Sword) with that respective list. More games are allowed. However, games are where players will learn and apply the rules and highly encouraged to get as many as they can. All game results (including players and their factions played, a pic or more) also need to be posted in the Conquest at The Broken Sword Facebook group.
There will NOT be a painting requirement! As this is a beginners league, there are several in this community who have never painted a model before. That said, painting is definitely encouraged and workshops will be available for those who want to learn!
Players must post pictures online of their army progress at least once a week in the Conquest Broken Sword Facebook group.
Additional rules: For our first month of 600 points starting warband, players will be restricted to using only 1 character. This restriction will be removed after the first month in which case all standard army building rules will be allowed. The reason for 600 is this allows player choice to purchase and use any of the current faction warband box sets or the 2 player start sets if they don't wish to purchase individual regiment boxes.
You must keep all units chosen from month to month with the caveat of increasing or decreasing number of stands, changing upgrades etc which you can do as you see fit. This will make it much easier to work with your given points.
For this league, we will only be using models which have been officially released by Para Bellum - please no 3D printed models for this league. However, kitbashing is allowed as long as the regiments still resemble the original model (i.e. model head/weapon/shield swaps, reposes, banner alterations etc.)
**ALL PURCHASES FOR THIS LEAGUE SHOULD BE GOING THROUGH 'THE BROKEN SWORD' IF POSSIBLE. We want to grow our community and help our local store too! If you already have some models, then any future purchases for this league should be through 'The Broken Sword'.
When: This event will begin January 23, 2022. This will be your 600 point starting warband. Players will have until February 20 to complete Milestone #1.
Feb 21-March 20: Milestone #2 of +300 points
Mar 21-April 17: Milestone #3 of +300 points
Apr 18-May 21: Milestone #4 of +300 points
May 22-June 19: Milestone #5 of +300 points
League end wrap-up will be a date yet determined.
Prizes: This league is officially sponsored by Para Bellum and as such, will generously supply prizes! Each participant who successfully completes this league within its rules and time frame will receive a FREE random regiment expansion of their league-chosen faction! This will help players reach that 2000 point army! Additional prizes are currently being considered for armies that are fully painted by end of the league as well!
