Hoplites know that the difference between victory and defeat lies with the strength of the Phalanx and focus their efforts on the integrity of its shield wall. The canniest veterans among the Hoplites know that pure defense will see a phalanx buckle under uncontested enemy pressure, thus they turn their eyes to the Dorilates, the spear masters among their number, to set the tempo and angle of their thrusts, complimenting the sheer defensive power of the Phalanx with increased aggression. How they Play: A veteran Hoplite, the Dorilates trains and coordinates the shield wall/pike formation. When the Regiment clashes with the enemy formation, the Hoplites/Phalangites unleash a rapid barrage of spear/pike thrusts forcing enemy soldiers to cower, keep their heads down and ultimately force them into exposing weaknesses in their formation.

Every army of the City States that marches to war, does so under the supervision of at least one Mechanist. One could be forgiven for believing he is there to ensure the smooth operation of the army and the countless machines, both big and small, that are so vital to the smooth operation of a City State’s army. What many fail to recognize is that he is there to ensure that reality itself operates along the rules and parameters laid out in their Lexicons by their Divinity. How they Play: As a spellcasting support Character, the Mechanist excels when positioned just behind the main battle line providing necessary utility abilities and enhancing the range of your Promethean’s spells. Activate the Mechanist’s Supremacy Ability to give all Regiment’s Activating from your Strategic Stack the Hardened (+1) Special Rule and see your enemies halt their advance before the might of your shieldwall!

A robust 1 player starter ready to play a game of First Blood or The Last Argument of Kings.

Dweghom armies are slow, tough, and implacable as one might expect of their ancestry. However what truly makes them unique is their magic. With access to fantastic combat magic and defensive spells Dweghom are capable of being an elemental hurricane on the battlefield throwing out walls of fire, slowing enemies down by turning the very earth they stand upon against them. Combined with very powerful, elite infantry and strong specialized non-infantry choices to round out the army, Dweghom players tend to decide where they want to go on the table and relentlessly carve a path there no matter the odds.

A robust 1 player starter ready to play a game of First Blood or The Last Argument of Kings. This Hundred Kingdom set is loaded with a complete stand of 12 Men at Arms and Household Guard, 2 sets of Cavlary in the Household Knights and the Mounted Squires, and the premium Mounted Noble Lord. Each starter set will have a very thorough First Blood army as well as a great beginning set to play a game of Last Argument of Kings. Included in this set are BOTH rulebooks for First Blood II and TLAOK II, along with all assembly instructions, a great path of Conquest guide, and all bases and stands. A great value for players, a substantial discount over the prices if purchased separately. How do the Hundred Kingdoms play? The Hundred Kingdoms cannot claim to have the best troops, but they have damn good troops and they tend to have more of them. Their cavalry is second to none and the intrinsic flexibility of the human mindset means your opponent cannot be certain what he will face: A veteran force of hard bitten infantry supported by powerful casters? A thundering charge led by an impetuous lord that bets everything on the speed of horse and strength of arms? OR The canny and disciplined combined arms approach of a shrewd imperial officer who leverages each of these pieces into a sum greater than the whole?

These are three large, super elite cavalry forces. These have a premium look, and play action in the game. Exemplars even amongst the superhumanly skilled Orders, the Order of the Ashen Dawn are spoken of in hushed whispers and respectful tones even by those who are unlucky enough to count them as enemies. Clad in baroque armor of a craftsmanship that has reduced master smiths to tears, these holy warriors are the definitive answer to the monsters and nightmares that plague mankind. They are the final guardians of the Sealed Temple and the keepers of its darkest treasures. FUN FACT - In First Blood these will be officers with unique rules, thus 3 cards. A unique feature for this set.

A robust 1 player starter ready to play a game of First Blood or The Last Argument of Kings. This Nords set is loaded with a complete stand of 12 Trolls and Stalkers, 2 sets of Brutes with the Fenr Beastpack and the Ugr, and the powerful Blooded character. Each starter set will have a very thorough First Blood army as well as a great beginning set to play a game of Last Argument of Kings. Included in this set are BOTH rulebooks for First Blood II and TLAOK II, along with all assembly instructions, a great path of Conquest guide, and all bases and stands. A great value for players, a substantial discount over the prices if purchased separately. How do the Nords play? Nords are all about aggression, as a “glass-cannon” army it’s kill or be killed. Typical Nord strategy involves putting as much pressure on the opponent as possible until they break. Every Nord unit gets stronger when they’re damaged, meaning that even if they don’t get the first hit in a fight they’re still hitting hard if not harder than they would be uninjured. Masters of the ambush and surprise, the army is all about momentum and while not the fastest force on the table you wouldn’t know it, as Nords are able to seize the initiative with multiple abilities to control their deployment and hamper their enemies’.

A robust 1 player starter ready to play a game of First Blood or The Last Argument of Kings. This Old Dominion set is loaded with a complete stand of 12 Athanatoi, Legionairres and Praetorians, a set of "undead" Cavalry in the Kataphractoi, and the Strategos character. Each starter set will have a very thorough First Blood army as well as a great beginning set to play a game of Last Argument of Kings. Included in this set are BOTH rulebooks for First Blood II and TLAOK II, along with all assembly instructions, a great path of Conquest guide, and all bases and stands. A great value for players, a substantial discount over the prices if purchased separately. How do the Old Dominion play? The Old Dominion is an elite, defensive army that gets more powerful the more casualties it suffers. Combined with sturdy infantry and powerful supporting Cavalry and Brutes, this makes a very unique army whose power increases as the troop count decreases. Old Dominion armies generally play slower, wanting to grind down their enemy while getting stronger themselves until the enemy just cannot handle them any longer and break allowing the ever advancing forces of the Old Dominion push their way through. The Old Dominion armies can also take a Fallen Divinity, which changes how their army plays, as this monstrous centerpiece takes power from your army to enhance itself into a massive apparition of death that sweeps across the battlefield.

A robust 1 player starter ready to play a game of First Blood or The Last Argument of Kings. This Spires set is loaded with a complete stand of 12 Bound Clones, Marksman Clones and Vanguard Clones, a set of 3 Brute Drone Brutes, and the High Clone Executor character. Each starter set will have a very thorough First Blood army as well as a great beginning set to play a game of Last Argument of Kings. Included in this set are BOTH rulebooks for First Blood II and TLAOK II, along with all assembly instructions, a great path of Conquest guide, and all bases and stands. A great value for players, a substantial discount over the prices if purchased separately. How do the Spires play? Spires are able to field a variety of options, from hordes of drones, to ranks of combat ready clones, and even elite armies composed entirely of war beasts and Avatara suits. Speed is the favored weapon of the Spires, making them faster than their enemies and capable of further leveraging this advantage via Biomancies and Pheromancies which allow them to push their soldiers past their limits, making them stronger, faster, and deadlier, at the cost of their own lives. However, Spire would not waste lives so inefficiently, so they have incredibly powerful healing abilities to ensure that your creations die when you say it is time for them to die. Their battleplans revolve around up trading their units with the opponents by using their Biomancies.

A robust 1 player starter ready to play a game of First Blood or The Last Argument of Kings. This W’adrhŭn set is loaded with a complete stand of 12 Blooded and Slingers, a set of 18 Hunting Pack Dinos, a set of 3 Raptor Riders, and the Predator character. Each starter set will have a very thorough First Blood army as well as a great beginning set to play a game of Last Argument of Kings. Included in this set are BOTH rulebooks for First Blood II and TLAOK II, along with all assembly instructions, a great path of Conquest guide, and all bases and stands. A great value for players, a substantial discount over the prices if purchased separately. How do the W’adrhŭn play? W’adrhŭn are an elite, aggressive, army that must maintain an aggressive tempo and seize the initiative. Their unique War Chant mechanic allows each unit to chant a portion of a battlecry, growing in power as it reaches a crescendo, allowing the units that chant the Finale to receive significant bonuses to offense defense and mobility depending on which member of the pantheon the chant is dedicated to. While the W’adrhŭn pay for their elite infantry and vicious dinosaur cavalry dearly, the flexibility afforded to them by the War Chants allows them to cover ground fast, hit harder and last longer than their raw stats would seem to indicate as you push the attack and build up powerful abilities on your units at the same time. Coupled with the wide variety of monster the W’adrhŭn can field, this makes for a powerful offensive force. Read more about the W’adrhŭn here - https://www.para-bellum.com/wadrhun/

While the Titans were convinced of the need to aid the Scholae and their Founder in their efforts, not all of them agreed how. The Prometheans chose to aid them by sharing with them the secrets of Creation, the Hephaestian chose a different path: that of Destruction. Looking upon mankind and worried of what they would make of the weapons they had been gifted, the Hephaestian’s chose instead to become the weapons bringing their overwhelming power onto the battlefield on behalf of their mortal allies. Monster Dual Kit: 1 Plastic miniature that can either make a Promethean or a Hephaestian, 1 set of Brute Bases and Stands, 2 Command cards.

When one gazes upon the wonders of a City State; its cyclopean walls, its towering cranes and smokeless foundries, one cannot help but suspect that these wonders cannot have been built by mortal hands alone. And they would not be far wrong. Deep within the bowels of each Acropolis reside the Prometheans, ancient Titanic allies of the Scholae and their founder, whose deep primordial knowledge is responsible for many of the wonders that allow the city states to stand. Rare and fell is the need that rouses one of these ancients to war, for their every blow cracks the enemies will even as it empowers it’s allies. Monster Dual Kit: 1 Plastic miniature that can either make a Promethean or a Hephaestian, 1 set of Brute Bases and Stands, 2 Command cards.

Few, if any Dweghom, understand the phenomenon that the Heralds represent. The only ones who might have some understanding of these are the very eldest of sorcerers and the cryptic the Steel Shapers, and they chose to remain silent on the topic even when confronted with the existence of the Heralds of Magma, who seem to share their Mastery of Primordial Earth and Fire, but employ it in a completely different way: seeking to destroy, rather than create. 1 Resin Miniature, 1 x 27mm plastic base.
