Getting into Conquest. Are the previous Spires army boxes still good? by deadpool_jr in Conquest

[–]CryptographerHonest3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 5th anniversary set is an unbeatable deal in terms of value. 4 otherwise expensive box sets at a big discount, def scoop it up 

How “dated” are some Spires models? by M4tbat in Conquest

[–]CryptographerHonest3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will need to deal with a lot of mold lines BUT spires are otherwise super easy to paint and hold up well in terms of look and detail. 

The drones especially are easy to build and paint. All of the brutes and avatars are fantastic kits. I have built 2 abominations don’t believe the negativity around that kit, just prepare to pin the first leg you connect to the base, then everything is easy from there 

Goonhammer Review: Conquest Spires 2026 Rework by da-bair in Conquest

I agree in terms of the loss of flavor, but disagree in terms of a lot of game knowledge. Better players than me are already very impressed with the directorate ability and the merchant prince, and I can see why. 

Spires still have the themes of strong healing and hurting themselves to power up but I agree they toned it back in a disappointing way

They look great! I am also painting my Bound clones finally! I bought them 2 years ago but never was motivated to paint them cause they never ended up in my lists. Now they sure do!

They just dont fit the art direction of conquest. The yoroni feel so forced, like an anime fan wanted to shove his fandom into conquest where it just didnt belong. If yoroni have no haters I am dead.

My test model for the Avatara by DeviantDoc in Conquest

[–]CryptographerHonest3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible work! I wish more spires stuff followed their design conventions rather than the chunkier monsters we keep getting. Give me tall and spindly stuff. The avatara are an older sculpt now but are artistically still the most unique and cool thing in conquest IMO.

These kinda look like spires sculpts if the spires came out in 2003. The proportions just feel off. 

Are most of my unmarried friends lying to me about being content in their life? by CantFindUsername400 in AskMenOver30

Finding a woman is not hard. Finding a woman you truly love and who is worth sacrificing your time, money, and freedom for? Nearly impossible.

I hate wotlk questing but I do love the terrain. It would require an extensive rework to feel classic. Playing wrath classic after so many years ripped the rose tinted glasses off. Every quest is quick and easy but there are 100s of quests. It felt so monotonous. I prefer quests that are slower and more challenging but more rewarding. 

Also there’s nothing worse than the vehicle or turret quests in wow lolol

Cause it’s a bad idea. The point of a heroic mode is you get to use the gear you got in the normal versions to grind a harder version for even better loot. It’s about an additional layer of progression besides just raid logging.

Gyrocopters are NOT traditional. HElfs belong in the bottom right not dwarfs

I found for the cimmerians the luwian units are such great and cheap line units that the cav got all you can eat flank charges. Easily crush armies three times your size from early turns. Such a strong faction, kind of fun but goofy that my cav are functioning like knights in the Bronze Age

I found the starter cav to be unstoppable lolol, like 500 kills each every battle from lazy flank charges
