Today for one thing somewhat totally different. We check out some items from the Hundred Kingdoms faction from Para-Ballum’s Conquest!

Last week we seemed on the regiments that come within the starter units that embody 100 Kingdoms fashions. Regiments like Men-At-Arms and Crossbowmen are wonderful staples of any 100 Kingdoms military, however the items discovered beneath are the place you may actually begin to make your military distinctive. Other factions in Conquest have issues like Brutes or Monsters that can provide their armies extra aptitude on the tabletop, however the 100 Kingdoms lack these choices. Instead, a 100 Kingdoms participant will get to select from an enormous number of specialised regiments that make taking part in the human faction extraordinarily versatile. Let’s check out a few of the extra specialised 100 Kingdoms regiments to see if they’ve what it takes to compete with the opposite factions Monsters and Brutes.

Longbowmen

150pts could seem costly when in comparison with the 105pts of Crossbowmen, however don’t ignore this regiment simply on account of its elevated price. Arcing Fire with 30in vary is nothing to sneeze at and might will let you hold your Longbowmen extraordinarily secure whereas nonetheless throwing out a decent variety of Volley 2 photographs with Armor Piercing. A unit of Longbowmen sitting behind your Men-At-Arms getting their full compliments of photographs at 15 inches could make this regiment extraordinarily irritating in your opponent. These archers may even get to a scary Volley 3 with an Aim motion in the event that they don’t want to make use of their Arcing Fire rule.

If you need to make investments some additional factors into your regiment of Longbowmen, take an Imperial Officer with the Murderous Volley Battlefield Drill to let your Longbowmen’s photographs trigger Resolve Tests whereas taking pictures an enemy inside 12 inches. This little mixture will take some set-up, because the Imperial Officer’s warband doesn’t embody Longbowmen, however simply Seek New Escort him within the early turns of the sport. By the time your opponent will get inside 12 inches of the Longbowmen they are going to be taking 13 Arcing Volley photographs that trigger ethical exams.

Hunter Cadre

This unit is an thrilling mixture of long-range menace with some severe melee potential. With Cleave 1 and Armor Piercing 1 each of their assaults will scale back their goal’s Defense, and so they even get to re-roll these hits in opposition to enemy Monsters. 165pts is somewhat steep for a unit that’s Defense 1, however their Resolve of three and a pair of Evasion ought to hold them comparatively secure till you pounce on that enemy monster.

The Imperial Officer is the one 100 Kingdoms character who can embody Hunter Cadre of their warband, however this isn’t a problem because the Hunter Cadre profit from a number of Battlefield Drills that the Officer can take. Fire and Advance makes Hunter Cadre extraordinarily cell by permitting them to take a March motion after taking a Volley motion, or Double Time can permit your Hunter Cadre to take three March actions as they arrive onto the battlefield. This can get them into place to begin volleying into your opponents Monsters proper from that begin of the battle!

Household Guard

If the Men-At-Arms are extraordinarily sturdy than that is the place you could find the hammer unit within the 100 Kingdoms. My article from final week talked about an superior combo for this unit to get to Clash 4 whereas re-rolling 6s to hit (100 Kingdoms Overview). Just by selecting Relentless Drill in your Army Rule you will get 19 extremely correct Attacks at Cleave 1 with this combo.

Gilded Legion

This unit hits extraordinarily onerous with their Cleave 1 and Support 1, however they may also be an especially efficient unit to carry an goal within the heart of the desk with the Seasoned Veteran and their Iron Discipline rule. Getting +1 Defense from the Bastion Draw Event the Seasoned Veteran supplies places this unit at Defense 4, and so they received’t care about re-rolling profitable Resolve exams from flank or rear costs with Iron Discipline.

An Imperial Officer with Tactical 2 may be positioned on this regiment with the Shroud of St. Lazarus to present this unit Resolve 5 and Fearsome. It could be value beginning your Imperial Officer in a Light unit earlier than Seeking New Escort into the Gilded Legion although. With this unit being a Heavy selection you completely need to profit from the Imperial Officers Supremacy of giving +1 to Reinforcement rolls.

Imperial Ranger Corps

If 165pts is just too steep in your style within the Hunter Cadre, look no additional than the Imperial Ranger Corps. 120pts for a Volley 3 Light unit with Vanguard is a discount! Not a lot else to say for these guys aside from they make a wonderful beginning unit for an Imperial Officer it’s possible you’ll need to Seek New Escort later within the sport with their low cost factors price and their being a Mainstay choice.

Court Squires

Numerous the items on this article have centered on the Imperial Officer, so I needed to finish with one which has synergies with the Noble Lord. This mainstay unit may be stacked with buffs to make them some of the highly effective items within the 100 Kingdoms. This construct will price you a ton of factors, however for what you might be getting I feel it simply could be value it!

By placing a Noble Lord with Tactical 2 and the Bastion Battlefield Drill on this unit you get a Defense 5 (from the entrance with their Shield) Resolve 3 unit that ignores one in every of their failed protection rolls. The unit isn’t any slouch in fight both with a Court Palatine making the unit at all times Inspired. The Noble Lord may buff their fight potential extra with Arms Master and his Supremacy potential. This unit will price 400 factors, however it simply could be value it.

So Many Options

You might have observed this isn’t even all the unit choices accessible to a 100 Kingdoms participant. This military is so spoiled for choices I haven’t even had the possibility to have a look at items like Order Knights (I’m extraordinarily enthusiastic about their upcoming launch!) or Steel Legion, however this record of regiments ought to get any aspiring 100 Kingdoms gamers on the market a wonderful start line for military building. I’m certain there are extra mixtures I’ve not even observed, or considered, so share them beneath within the feedback in order that I can use them in opposition to my opponents.
