The Spire, Part 1- Conquest Lore

[@TableTopMagpie]

Me - "This game looks dope. I hope Doug has started his research videos..." Doug - TOTALLY DELIVERS

[@vitogunnhilder]

Gotta say, I like the idea that this channel’s incorporating TableTop Strategy at it’s whole, not just WarHammer!

[@CNNBlackmailSupport]

Thank GW for that. They seem to actively hate their content like the owners in the movie Major League. It's a comedy villain trope, and GW's business model.

[@xavier84623]

It’s like an elf faction designed by lovecraft lol

[@Waywardpaladin]

Waiting to see the splinter weaver faction that are more druids and merge with native life,

[@xavier84623]

@@Waywardpaladin oh with that bee biomorphed art? yeah that looked sick, thats going to be an amazing faction when they release it.

[@tyronechamp]

When you described them as this system’s equivalent of Elves in your other video, I wasn’t expecting this. I love the spin they’ve taken with it.

[@orlandomiami8111]

That core box sold out quick

[@kaibe5241]

The Spires lore is incredible. BUT, the GENESIS story from the main book is INCREDIBLE. Like.. these guys go DEEEEP on the world construction, right from the beginning!!! The Spires is easily the most unique fantasy faction I've ever played, I love it. They're also quite hard to play well.

[@jasonmangelsen7136]

Awesome video, thanks

[@charlesstampley6749]

Subscribing for your Conquest content, could care less for GW stuff. Thank you!

[@xavier84623]

I really like the aesthetic of this world. Cool lore

[@seannyhan2254]

They are the Tyranids of Dirz!

[@lichen24moss]

Very interesting. With the way they use biomancy, they remind me of the Yuuzhan vong from Star Wars, Engineers(aliens), Zerg and Tyrannids. I like lore were they use living tissue as machines; very interesting. It will be interesting to see if what attacked them in their homeworld will find a way to reach them on Ea.

[@BrettsMinis]

MORE CONQUEST LORE DOUG!!! You got me hooked lol

[@justwannabehappy6735]

My hero

[@ragnarokivae6136]

They are like a mix of elves and tyrannids. Love it

[@m.botman8645]

Great vid. Just bought a two player starter set with a friend. I got the spire as my faction. More excited after watching this. Thanks.

[@drgrantboardman2224]

Way better than elves. I love how alien they are.

[@onua2012sga]

Congratulations, this series got me just curious enough and now I’m waiting for my core set lol Please continue the series I want Para Bellum to see there is a demand for more fleshing out of their fresh and unique lore

[@jakobpavlin6946]

can not wait for more!

[@irishjesus3927]

On this channel, it’s always a lucky day!

[@nightsage217]

Oh myyy! I was just scanning your channel for lore of Ea. Lucky day!

[@JoshuapJudd]

Some of my favorite work you have done so far keep it up

[@CalabozoCriollo]

they are amazing! really good aliens that came from the stars! KNIGHTS vs ALIENS

[@eragonfreedman9228]

Best faction hands down.

[@brianboru2762]

The spires and otherworldliness of the Spire makes me think of the Fair Folk of Celtic Folklore, entities that kinda look like people but are NOT and have VERY non-human ways of thinking. The Spire kinda make me think of Faerie Mounds, openings into a magical realm where the fair folk dwell and come out from when they get bored or want something from the world of men.

[@joshtaflinger91]

Appreciate you going through the conquest lore, I don't have much time to read but to sit down listen and paint or relax for a bit and listen helps to get more into the lore

[@OlavurRiddaros]

Amazing video as always Doug, glad that you'll cover more tabletop games!

[@ChrisPBacon-zv4et]

Awesome,awesome,awesome!cant wait for more lore videos and hopefully you do some painting videos for these also.

[@Dante-ot8xg]

The art is really cool and the lore is interesting. I hope this game takes off. I may have to buy these lovecraft elves since their aesthetic is really cool

[@CantusTropus]

While we don't exactly what happened to the Spire home world, we can presume that it's some kind of military threat, given that the Sovereign seems to believe that he needs a massive army to deal with it.

[@forevergimmly7343]

I am a bit at ods with gw since a while (will not quit tomorrow ore something) but I tryed out new stuff, I liked more, bolt action, star wars legions, frostgrave, etc... Thanks to you vids I found about about conquest, and I absolutely want to try there skirmish sized game, next month I will start with that, so i wanna say thank you ☺️

[@michaelmiller2418]

Alchemists of Dirz: The biomancers and flesh-crafters of the old (and long dead) game of Confrontation. The alchemists lived in towers in the deserts, too.

[@GilthosDrakoniss]

Excellent

[@TheSixthWorld]

Dammit, Doug! I got a Conquest Core Set coming to me on Friday because of you! *shakes fist in nerd rage* XD

[@tomsutton2042]

I think the Directorate is the faction that wants to stay and the Sovereign is the one that says it wants to return.

[@alexinfinite7142]

Me: oh elves eh? Doug: Hold up a sec there...

[@RedRoseWargaming]

Love this Doug. We just picked up the First Blood boxes and can't wait to get playing

[@OMER831]

An how to play video would be very cool!

[@canceledlogic7656]

What if the high elves were ugly? And instead of seeing what we wish we were, we saw them as they are?

[@SuperEagle112]

Very much looking forward to the rest of the factions! I feel like I’m leaving towards the Nords. The dwarf equivalent look amazing though.

[@Unholycrumpet]

They’re like Eldar Bonereapers

[@calebdavis9458]

Where does all of this lore come from? Are there collectible books or the games rule books? Where is all of this divulged. I want to own it and read it ASAP!

[@neovalley]

More spire lore!!

[@Jelle1880]

Doug: Are you also going to do a model review after the lore stuff ?

[@CalabozoCriollo]

I feel them like khemry! Clone mummies!

[@d-emprahexpects]

That's a cool lore!!! Thanks for the video. I know a guy, who knows more guys, who I just might try to bret into Conquest with me

[@tomeknowik2050]

I dig Conquests take on dorfs and elfs. In comparison 100 kingdoms and nords are so vanila it hurts

[@tervindar507]

For now, have you looked at their army lists? far from vanilla when all models get released...

[@tomeknowik2050]

Nords might get something but from the army lists it looks like standard monster set up. 100 kingdoms get more dudes in plate in Orders

[@beyersviljoen1160]

So... Tyranids crossed with craftworld eldar in fantasy... I can dig it

[@cherryknight6911]

Reminds me of the Golgari from MTG ravnica

[@dirtybirdsf]

I didn't understand at first... the title made me thing that GW Conquest mag was gonna be running some necromunda kits. This is some neat lore though. Thanks for sharing.

[@waltercook9517]

It’s the Sovereign houses that want to retake there home world. Once enough biomass is made to form army large enough to retake it from the unknown enemy,. Than ea will be given To the directorate for there help.

[@daedalus6796]

I expected elves but instead I got nightmare fuel

[@jordanhamilton8950]

Hey Doug I love your video's I have just started building my maggot of nurgle army I Am going to theme these in order of the fly because who doesn't love a good squire for for a crusading blightking But there's very little lore on them all to gather besides reading the books, but would you be able to give us a break down and a view from your perspective?

[@johnsellars2692]

Will you be doing how to play videos and maybe tactical videos also ?

[@tim4330]

So they are basically draenei tyranids design by HR Giger

[@spacewarsfight281]

The spire are so gross 🤢 looking I like the body horror elament to theme a nice change of pace when it comes to fantasy

[@kenhouston814]

Doug's first army. I wonder how long they'll survive?

[@NWLR-tv]

Theory for the other subfactions, the weavers sound like they would want to terraform the planet to be just like there old one, the quiet sound like they could be the survivors who got mega PTSD from whatever destroyed there old world

[@kenhouston814]

We've had a look at Weavers recently. They weave themselves to be a part of the natural world. Think if Del Toro designed the Fae

[@balazsbajko382]

The weavers don't want to terraform the planet, they used life-binding to became one with EA. They are already part of EA, it is home to them. They couldn't go back even if they wanted to. But they don't...

[@NWLR-tv]

Should've put I don't have any prior experience or knowledge with the lore, I based the theory off of the info given in the video

[@jadebrunner8699]

Hey Doug I have a question, with the new edition of aos coming out do I need to buy the soul wars starter kit now or will it still be Available after 3rd edition comes out?

[@thelordkragan1888]

it will be removed.

[@OdinRuZero]

Basically Spire is Engineers from Alien that migrated into DnD world and right now they trying to not die from locals and their rioted war creations. Correct?

[@2Tough]

They aren’t the progenitors of life here like they are in the alien franchise, but that’s the broad idea

[@OdinRuZero]

@@2Tough Okay.

[@Lord_Brownie]

I bet they taste like lobster

[@2Tough]

Honestly.... I think you’re right 😆

[@akumaking1]

@@2Toughor chicken. And if you want to really see sci-fi races in fantasy check out the Vord from “Codex Alera” Do describe the series; it was made in a bet of combining the Roman lost legions with Avatar: The Last Airbender and Pokémon
