So awesome that you are giving Conquest a look again! I thought I recall that initially you weren’t a fan of some of the game mechanics. Regardless, so pumped that you are excited for it! Easily my favorite game!
My only real experience was a demo game in 2018! I felt at the time that the rolling low felt that it was only there to be different and I also wasn’t particularly a fan of larger scale army games back then. Now the game is in version 2.0 and I’ve tried a lot more games since then. I like what I see now.
Top quality interview - editing is great mate the effort really shows. Thank you very much for the kind shoutout too. Leo is always really captivating when he discussing conquest - watching him in other content was one of the things that convinced me to dive in in the first place! Cheers - Daryl.
I will say the more you play it the more you enjoy it. Also 2.0 is awesome. I love that my wadrhun with 5 wounds minimum feel meaty like they should. Big fan of this company.
My son and I tried a demo of Conquest last summer and really enjoyed it. I'm more interested in First Blood due to the scale and ease of building multiple "armies" but my son liked LAoK as we already play a lot of skirmish games. Think with both being in 2.0 now, this may be the year to finally jump in and maybe go for both! 😄
I have recently fallen in love with the old dominion, city states, and the upcoming sorcerer kings faction, my only wish was that there was also a... squad? scale skirmish game, since First Blood is still 20+ models easy. But then I realized that I already have several model agnostic games for that, and now I am trying really hard not to go full in on two armies all at once.
Miniature agnostic is an accepted term for games systems that allow you to use any models you like. No idea why it became an accepted term (I’m not a huge fan of it as all games let you use any models you like) but here we are!
Absolutely love the aesthetic of this game, I don't really play these mass battle games anymore, mostly stick to skirmish scale, but if I did this would be one id be considering. Speaking of mass battle games though, I still feel like there is a gap in the market for mass army battle at a much smaller miniature scale like gw did with epic 40k...would love to see a fantasy version of that. Huge dragons and other beasts towering over masses of foot soldiers... epic scale but at a much more affordable price.
If I buy the 2 player set can I play forever without buying anything else? If I bought a 2 player set and a 1 player set for each Faction, how big of an army would that be? If I bought a 2 player set, in 5 years or less, would I need to buy new armies just to be able to play? Similar to magic the gathering? What do I need to buy to play Argument of kings and First blood? I've never played any game like this and don't know anyone who does but I'm really wanting to get into this. Thank you for any help.
The key is to just show up to your local store with a two player starter. There were zero people when I started and now there’s probably 40 players within an hour.
I'm looking for a fantasy game to move away from GW which I have pulled the plug on...especially after they binned most of my finished Stormcast miniatures. That and their forever changing the bloody rules and points every five goddamn minutes. Nothing more annoying buying a book just for it to be redundant weeks after coming out. This game looks very good...
Any channel that illuminates games outside of _that_ company's range gets a thumbs up from me. Keep up the good work, mate.
Thank you.
As a long time Warhammer fantasy battle sixth edition player I really enjoy this game.
I never played WFB so I’m kind of just judging it on it’s own merits but it seems a fun game and I’m a fan of the background lore.

Thanks for the kind words mate and also for introducing me to the game! Looking forward to my next game soon.

Excited to see Conquest being covered by you!
Well I hope to as long as folks want to see it!
My wife and I new to Conquest. Thank you for sharing your story and your passion for this game.
Thank you for watching and hope you and your wife enjoy your Conquest journey.

The Old Dominion FTW! Great video mate as ever!
Thank you!
Big fan of the creator interview series. Keep it up.
Thank you - I love doing them but would love more folks to start seeing them.
@@BlackJackLegacy Still hoping for a creator interview with Bushido developers.

Agnostic means you don't know
Miniature agnostic is an accepted term for games systems that allow you to use any models you like.

Great interview 👍looking forward to getting my Brachiosaur 😁
Thank you. Really appreciate the comment. I looked for a photo of the Brachiosaurus but couldn’t find one!
Love Conquest, great to see you covering it!
Thanks! I really enjoyed chatting with Leo and I’m looking forward to picking up some minis soon!

They have a skirmish game called First Blood. Same models, same bases, plays totally differently.
Great interview! Brand new to Conquest, will be buying my first army, The Spires, in a week and I'm so excited to start playing!
Hopefully I’ll get a chance to play Conquest soon. It’s a game I really want to enjoy as it looks fantastic.
It’s defo worth a demo to give it a try. It plays nice and fast for a larger scale game and the alternate activations is nice too.
Well done on the pictures. Look great.
Thank you so much 😀
Great interview, wish I had more time to be able to get into another mass battle game
Thanks! Yeah there’s more choice than there is time to build paint and play them all.
Awesome 🤩

What do I need to buy to play Argument of kings and First blood?

Thanks
You're welcome!
Love the look and the back story, not sure I can find anyone to play with. :/
I think that’s something that could be levelled at any game that’s not 40K to be fair.

@@GilthosDrakoniss why I always collect at least 2 armies :D
