Hubris and New Units Expand Conquest’s Spires, Yoroni, and Weaver Courts
Para Bellum Games has unveiled a new wave of Conquest pre-orders that spans three very different factions, led by Hubris, a towering Founder’s Exclusive character for the Spires. Alongside this limited centerpiece miniature, the update introduces the Shikigami for the Yoroni and the unsettling Morrowen for the Weaver Courts. For players who favor fast, small-unit systems like Gangfight, these releases highlight how strongly character-driven sculpts and distinct faction identities continue to influence skirmish-scale gaming.
TL;DR
-
What: A limited Hubris Founder’s Exclusive plus new Yoroni and Weaver Courts units
-
When: Available now as pre-orders, with Hubris limited to a single production run
-
Why it matters: High-impact character sculpts and flexible unit roles that translate well to skirmish play
The headline release is Hubris, a 35mm Founder’s Exclusive miniature sculpted by Michael Kontraros. Representing a Lineage Highborne of the Spires, Hubris is designed to lead Avatara and Sentinels, or to operate alongside a Leonine Avatara. The kit includes alternate head and weapon options, giving hobbyists meaningful choice without overcomplicating assembly.
As with previous Founder’s Exclusives, Hubris is limited to 990 numbered copies worldwide. Once that run is gone, it will not be reissued. That scarcity matters less for gameplay access and more for collectors and painters who value unique centerpiece characters that won’t appear on every table.
From a lore perspective, Hubris embodies one of the Spires’ core themes: arrogance taken to its logical extreme. The background ties the character to ancient “dragon hunter” Avatara husks—monuments to overconfidence repurposed as punishment tools by elder Lineages. It’s a rare case where the narrative weight of a character is immediately readable in the sculpt itself, rather than requiring deep rules knowledge.
The pre-orders also include the Shikigami for the Yoroni. These smaller, energetic spirits serve as a cost-effective screening unit, designed to absorb pressure while enabling elite Yoroni elements to maneuver into position. Visually, the models lean into folkloric whimsy, with masked faces and exaggerated movement that set them apart from more conventional infantry designs.
Rounding out the wave are the Morrowen for the Weaver Courts. Shunned for their insectoid minds, these entities function as a resilient anvil unit, holding enemies in place while the rest of the force closes in. Their unsettling aesthetic reinforces the Weaver Courts’ reputation for uncanny, otherworldly designs that challenge painters to step outside traditional fantasy palettes.
What This Means at Skirmish Scale
At skirmish scale, Hubris reads as a natural leader or elite solo model—perfect for narrative play, character-driven scenarios, or as a visual focal point for smaller warbands. The limited nature of the sculpt also makes it attractive for hobbyists who enjoy fielding truly distinctive characters.
The Shikigami and Morrowen, meanwhile, translate cleanly into flexible systems. Screening units and durable anchors are universal roles in skirmish gaming, and both kits offer strong visual identity without being locked to mass-battle assumptions. Painters and kitbashers, in particular, will find plenty of room to experiment with color, texture, and alternative basing.
Taken together, this pre-order wave reinforces Conquest’s strength as a miniature line: even outside its native ruleset, the models remain highly usable, characterful, and table-ready.
