PRE-ORDER MINIATURES: GenCon, Conquest: FIrst Blood, Last Argument of Kings and Special Offer - Para Bellum Games

We tend to keep an eye on a lot of our favourite miniature producers and this time Para Bellum Games have a huge amount of new Pre-orders that are going to be released on the 28th August (apart from the Oni Kishin which are released on 30th July), so we thought we'd go through our favourites for the new Reinforcement Sets alongside our top key picks for the heroes that they mentioned last week in their Legends of Ea who will be available individually for the first time.

Honourable Mentions

Finally, because we had such a hard time picking, we wanted to give a couple of honourable mentions to the article, these are Pre-Order Miniatures that didn't quite fit into the two catagories that we just fell in love with because of what they can do and because they look just too beautiful to leave out.  

Oni Kishin Raiu (Dual Kit) (Yoroni) (Released 30th July)

First Blood

Charging into the fray with the fury of a thunderstorm, the Oni Kishin Raiu are devastating shock cavalry. Equipped with impressive back banners, these mounted warriors support your forces while striking the enemy like a lightning bolt.

The Last Argument of Kings

Riding the lightning itself, the Kishin Raiu descend upon their foes, breaking formations and shattering armor in a single devastating charge. As an elite Shock Cavalry Regiment, the Kishin Raiu specialize in smashing highly disciplined infantry formations and crushing even the toughest armored opponents.

Founder’s Exclusive “Kerveros” (Old Dominion)

“A Mounted Strategos is the epitome of this ancient warrior code, a paragon of a bygone age mounted on his ritual companion, whose faded glory and tattered panoply cannot dim the blazing intellect and sheer will that smolder within this faded vessel.”

This three headed monster is a numbered edition of 1099, bringing the Roman Undead “to life” in a completely new three-way. An amazing model for painting and play as a Mounted Strategos.

This was picked purely for the beauty of the sculpt, we can't wait to learn what it does on the battlefield

GENCON 2026

We hope you've enjoyed looking at these as much as we have and if you happen to be at GenCon, if you nip along to booth 3031 you can get to see some of these mini's with your own eyes as well as getting the chance to enjoy learning how to play Conquest: Last Argument of Kings or Conquest 2: First Blood.
