Conquest Battle Report - Old Dominion vs. Old Dominion

Savannah Lion Games held a demo day for Para Bellum's Conquest this past weekend. It was my first in-person experience with the game. Conquest is actually two games in one: Conquest First Blood is a skirmish-style game with warbands, while Conquest Last Argument of Kings is a rank-and-flank game.  

I observed a two-against-two match between two Old Dominion warbands and a team of Nords and Dweghom. 

Then I got a chance to put my own Old Dominion warband on the table - facing off with another Old Dominion force. 

I essentially got tabled, but it was fun getting some of my newly-painted models out on the table. 

My Bone Golem in particular caused some havoc before it went down. The Aura of Death effect deals passive damage to anything in close proximity to the Golem, and here knocked out several Varangian Guard. 

First Blood is a fast-playing, intuitive game, and I really enjoyed my first experience playing it. I'm currently working on painting more Old Dominion stuff to be able to field a full army in the near future.
