01:36:35 Conclusion & Final Thoughts

Conquest is an amazing game, but it's always been a daunting prospect to get started. Not only is it a mass battle game, meaning you need a lot of miniatures, but the prices while fair for the quality are not cheap.

The discounts are much, much better with these new Starters, but it can still feel overwhelming. Which faction to start? Which Starter (old or new) to take? Should you buy two starters, and if yes, which? We'll answer all these questions, and more, in this long (nearly 2 hours) video! Of course as always we'll add Timestamps so you can access the part you want, it is even more needed here than ever!
