Para Bellum Wargames has unveiled The Nepenthe Campaign, a massive narrative event that gives Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings players the power to influence the ongoing lore of Eä. But there’s more here than a global story—this set is a treasure trove for skirmish fans, especially anyone building custom Chronicle warbands for Gangfight.
TL;DR
The Nepenthe Campaign adds map-based global play to Conquest, letting players’ results shape official lore. It also includes diverse miniatures perfect for Gangfight conversions.
- Participate in a living campaign for Conquest and First Blood
- Each faction’s victories alter the world map and unlock new lore
- Fantastic source of models for custom Gangfight: Chronicle warbands
Conquest Meets Global Storytelling
The Nepenthe Campaign is a community-driven event where every recorded battle influences the story’s outcome. Players log their games on Para Bellum’s official website, with the combined results determining the shifting control of regions across Eä’s Nepenthe frontier.
Each faction earns new narrative chapters, world events, and lore entries—turning this into a truly living campaign. Para Bellum is encouraging players from both The Last Argument of Kings and First Blood to join, with updates rolling out weekly.
For skirmish enthusiasts, this release also doubles as a model goldmine. Conquest’s hard plastic kits are highly modular, with detailed human, alien, and monstrous designs that slot beautifully into Gangfight’s Chronicle setting—a world where steampunk relics, mutated knights, and ancient horrors collide.
Chronicle Crossover Potential
If you’re building forces for Gangfight: Chronicle, The Nepenthe Campaign packs a wealth of creative potential. The heavily armored Dweghom and Spire biomancers make perfect Leaders or Specialists, while Nords and Hundred Kingdoms infantry can easily form balanced warbands straight from the box. With just one or two Conquest sprues, you can assemble multiple Chronicle gangs—each with their own unique aesthetic and lore roots tied to Eä.
Conquest models fit naturally into the broader Gangfight system, whether you’re creating elite explorer teams, demonic cults, or rogue knights. Their tall scale (38mm) also allows for cinematic conversions and character-level storytelling—exactly what Chronicle is all about.
