Warhammer 40,000: Conquest

Hey all,

Not sure if you have seen this new card game coming from Fantasy Flight Games - Dark Eldar are featured as one of the main seven armies and will be supported in updates.

Below is a link to the discussion of DE and how they will play in the game.

I'll probably be happy this is happening just for the art and fluff quotes.

I'll probably get this as soon as they release it. I'm really excited to sit down and play it.

My Local store has a lot of people excited to play it, and i actually got a custom mat made for when it comes out. I am a little sad that the majority of the other factions have a real lore character as their warlord and I'm pretty sure Yith is not.

Last Saturday I got to watch a game of this (someone had picked it up from some convention or other) and they said the game plays much better than expected. To me it plays much less like a card game and more kind of like a board game that includes a deck of cards but it really is a mix. I

As for our dark kin a lot of the "location" cards in particular played
Very much as you'd expect from us. Dangerous and tricky. All in all I'd say any hype you may be feeling at this game will not be a waste.

Above all, I love those illustrations!

I may be reading too far into this... but where in our current codex is a Sybarite Marksman?

I think we may be getting a new sniper n.n

I doubt that. Where is 'Incubus Warrior' in our current codex? I just think it's FFG putting their own unique spin on things

Whoa, this is interesting.

And yeah, if anything, I am going to love that art even if I never get the game.

EDIT: I am not bothered with terms like "Incubus Warrior" or "Sybarite Marksman", not everything always has to follow the exact term used to call something.

you know the art from these cards would be very good art for our codex.
Now there's a card game for 40k, sweet ( by that i mean a notable card game i can start playing) ( there already was a card game i know) Looks pretty cool though

Hopefully we can get a subforum put into the game section of these forums for it.  My local FLGS is primarily card based (they do some X-wing but not a lot of 40k) so this might be able to satisfy my Dark Eldar craze for when I can't make it to a further store for a game of the real thing

Edit: I wonder if the reason we didn't get a "real" HQ is FFG didn't want to put one in that had the potential of being removed from our new codex and/or maybe the beast master IS a real HQ and the ultimate spoiler of a new Beast Master HQ (purely a hail mary speculation)

Is there a release date nailed on for this?

Oct 3rd or something like that I think is what has been floating around

And boom! No life.
