Para Bellum has spent the spring quietly rebuilding its on-ramp into Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings, and the result is the 2026 Supercharged Starter Sets, single-player boxes for every major faction designed to throw you straight into First Blood skirmish play or full Last Argument of Kings battles. The Spires set landed first in January, and Dweghom, W'adrhun and Yoroni followed across the spring, with each box offering more than €70 of savings versus picking the contents up individually.

Start organising for freeThe pitch is simple. You get a brutally-cast plastic warband (Dweghom backers, for instance, get Magmaforged and Wardens alongside a brand-new Ancestor character), all the cards, dice and tokens you need, and a sensible starting force for First Blood or an intro-sized Last Argument of Kings game. Para Bellum has positioned the sets as the new default entry point for the 28mm rank-and-flank scene, where the alternative is usually Games Workshop's much pricier Warhammer Old World or Age of Sigmar starters.
The starter wave is riding a busy release schedule. The Hundred Kingdoms Trebuchet, a monster kit with three different ammunition options (boulder, fire pot, explosive barrel), dropped on 30 April, and the elven Weaver Courts just gained the Taosidhe, an elemental tactician hero. The rank-and-flank fantasy niche has been quietly heating up, and Conquest has the deepest catalogue in it right now.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksIf you've been eyeing fantasy rank-and-flank but Old World feels too pricey to dip into, this is the moment. Find a group running Conquest near you before UK Games Expo, where Para Bellum usually demos the latest factions.
