Tournament results and army lists from Germany, July 2026

Hello everyone,

Almost all of Germany is on summer holiday, and with the sweltering heat, many people simply weren't motivated to roll any dice. All of Germany? Not quite! Down in the south, a handful of brave warriors still gathered in Wolfschlugen to cross blades at the 5th Schwaben Conquest.

As always, a quick note for our international readers: German tournaments are still typically run in a compact format with only a few rounds. As a result, Strength of Schedule (SoS) continues to play an important role whenever the final standings are close. All the better, then, when a player can claim the top spot outright without the need for any tiebreak calculations, as happened twice at this event.

5. Schwaben Conquest

Unfortunately, the scheduling wasn't particularly kind to the Wolfschlugen tournament this year. In the end, only eight players made it onto the attendance list, but a large part of the highly competitive southern German tournament scene was among them. Instead of the usual comfort picks, several alternative army concepts also made an appearance on the tables. It may have been a small event, but it was certainly not a dull one and it featured an excellent prize pool (see the photo above).

Closing Remarks

There are two tournaments on the calendar for August. The first, held in Hamburg, already took place last weekend. The second is the Bannerkrieg um Rodenbach – Part 6, which will be held on 29 August 2026 and offers a total of 22 player slots.

Registration: Bannerkrieg um Rodenbach "Part 6" 

As for me, my next tournament won't be until early September. On 5 September 2026, Marcus will be hosting the 2nd Wesergeplänkel in Bremen. Although there are 18 player slots, 20 players have already expressed interest. However, places are allocated on a first-paid, first-served basis, so you'd better send him your payment today, otherwise, you may end up on the waiting list.

Tournament results and army lists from Germany, June 2026

Hi everyone,

Overall, 44 players gathered across three tournaments to roll some dice together and bring new lists to the table. Two of these events produced clear, undisputed winners, which, much like in previous months, fortunately spared us from all the calculations around tiebreakers and Strength of Schedule (SoS).

As usual for our international readers, a quick note: even in June, German tournaments are still mostly played in a compact format with only a few rounds. As a result, Strength of Schedule (SoS) continues to play an important role in case things get close at the top. All the nicer when, as in two of these cases, a player can take the lead outright without any need for spreadsheet math.

All in all, it was a solid month with exciting games, varied lists, and two fairly clear winners.

---

Conquest im Sidequest #10

The opening event was the 10th Conquest tournament at Sidequest Bremerhaven, with 18 participants who turned up in strong numbers despite the summer scheduling. In addition to exciting games on the table, there was a really tasty lunch that provided welcome fuel and was well received by everyone. Another highlight was the generous and slightly “over-the-top” prize pool: every one of the 18 participants was able to take something home at the end, whether a miniature or even a full box. All in all, it was a highly successful start to the tournament weekend, offering plenty both in terms of gameplay and atmosphere.

6. Eroberung der Scheune

On the second weekend of June, Marco once again invited players to Bedburg. Unfortunately, we were not there this time to support the “Bankster” in Aschaffenburg, who then managed to successfully “opt out.” His justification was roughly that he had spent a week at the Age of Sigmar World Championships and now needed to collect some “wife points” first, a typical excuse.

Nevertheless, the weekend in Bedburg was once again great and very entertaining. There was plenty of gaming and laughter, and as usual a relaxed tournament atmosphere was enjoyed by everyone. The event was rounded off with a shared dinner in a large group, which perfectly capped off the day.

The full results can be found here:: 6. Eroberung der Scheune| T³ 

Army List Bedburg

1.  – Yoroni Lun
   In the first game he faced Nauth with Order/Feudal (Forlorn Hope). Rahim had a few lucky moments in this match but was also able to make important decisions that allowed him to apply early pressure. Over several rounds, he managed to hold mission objectives steadily and secure key positions. In the end, he came out on top in a close game with a small points advantage.

   In the second game he played against Marie with Speakers (Bulwark), who played very cleanly and put Rahim under early pressure. Objective control in particular kept the game tight for a long time, as both sides repeatedly traded important positions. In the end, better stability on the objectives decided the game in Rahim’s favor.

   In the third game Rahim faced Handnerdskunst (Echelon) with a strong Nords Jotnar list. Rahim started strong and was able to secure key objectives early and build up points. After that, the game developed into a very hard-fought exchange in which both sides suffered heavy losses. Despite a strong counterattack, Rahim held onto his early lead and narrowly brought the game over the finish line before the Jotnar wiped out the Yoroni.

Conquest of Asgard 4

In parallel to Bedburg, there was also a tournament in Aschaffenburg in the deep south. Unfortunately, there were again some dropouts due to illness, but despite that we still had 16 players.

Armeeliste Aschaffenburg

1.  – Sorcerer Kings Hanna
   I was able to win the tournament. If Nicole had won one more game, the entire top three would have been in women’s hands. As it stands, Lena secured a well-deserved second place with her W’adrhŭn, finishing with two wins and one draw.

   I myself managed a narrow win in game 1 against Winter Weaver with D4 RR6 Dread Trees on Breakout. This was followed by two very clear victories: one against City States in Melee and one against Yoroni in Head-to-Head.

   This was mainly due to the fact that Sorcerer Kings are currently by far the least represented faction in Germany.

Closing remarks

June is very much marked by the transition into the summer break. With the start of the school holidays in the northern German states, things will likely become a bit quieter on the tournament map in both June and August. Many groups pause their activities, which makes it all the more worthwhile to look south: just south of Stuttgart, Maphi is still organizing a tournament in Wolfschlugen. In southern Germany, the summer holidays traditionally start a bit later, which means there is still plenty of gaming going on there while other regions are already heading into the break.

We ourselves are not planning to attend, as the distance of over 8 hours of driving is simply a bit too far for us and planning during the holidays is a bit different anyway. Nevertheless, the event comes with a clear recommendation: Maphi, as in Winnenden, runs very well organized and carefully structured tournaments. If you are from the area, you should definitely stop by, and feel free to send the young man my regards.

26.07.26: 5. Schwaben Conquest in Wolfschlugen

Currently, 11 out of 20 spots are still available.

Tournament results and army lists from Germany, May 2026

Hello everyone,

In May, tournament attendance in Germany was a bit lower due to vacations and public holidays, but there were still two great events in the northern and central parts of the country. This time, by the way, we were spared any tiebreaker number-crunching at both tournaments, as each one had a completely clear and undisputed winner.

Bannerkrieg um Rodenbach Part 5

Due to several last-minute cancellations, only 12 players participated in the Banner War of Rodenbach this time instead of the hoped-for 16. That did nothing to dampen the atmosphere, though! The organizers had generously outfitted every table with original terrain from Para Bellum.

It looked absolutely fantastic and created a unique gameplay dynamic as well: when four large buildings occupy a table, there is simply not much room left for other terrain pieces. In other words, things got crowded!

You can find the full results here: Bannerkrieg um Rodenbach Part 5 auf T³

Armylist Rodenbach

1. Platz 1 – Sorcerer Kings
   

   “Mono-Fire” build is currently facing some nasty matchups and is simply outranged by many lists. But this is exactly where the four buildings on every table worked in my favor! They created beautiful choke points where combat was fought in a very “fair” manner. Although, to be fair, the Mono-Fire list’s definition of “fair” is six attacks with Cleave 1, Deadly, and Relentless Blows.

   Game 1 vs. Old Dominion (Xhiliarch Warlord) on Echolon
   In this match, the Sorcerer Kings successfully lured the Old Dominion forces toward the flanks. Once the trap was sprung, the path was clear to seize the opponent’s zone and secure the victory.

   Game 2 vs. W’adrhŭn (Chieftain Warlord, Chosen & Warbred) on Melee
   On paper, this matchup is not particularly favorable for me. But once again, both sides traded blows with enthusiasm. One of the biggest highlights were the Ghols: thanks to Molten Blades and the right rituals, they performed far beyond their actual points cost in every exchange.

   Game 3 vs. Spires (Merchant Prince) on Maelstorm
   My final opponent brought a list featuring four monsters and a massive block of Clones. Unfortunately for him, that Clone block had a very painful encounter with the Linebreaker special rule: the Mahabharati tore through the enemy ranks and nearly one-shotted the entire unit in a single round.

Der Ruf des Kraken Vol. 3 in Hamburg

Shortly after the Banner War, competitive Conquest action returned to Hamburg. While significantly more players had originally registered on T³, the event ultimately drew 10 participants in the north. Organizers Chris and Benny had to deal with several last-minute cancellations, as many players apparently only realized at the very last moment that the tournament was taking place over the Pentecost weekend. Those who did attend, however, were rewarded with another excellent event, complete with delicious homemade salads and a barbecue.

Army List Hamburg

1. Platz 1 – Sorcerer Kings Hanna
   The Wind Element is dead; long live the Chandavats and the Mahut! After the update, the list took a massive hit (nice feather-related pun, right?). Without Water Markers and Spiteful Wind to help keep the opponent’s most explosive early-game plays under control, the list has become much more demanding to pilot. That said, the Chandavats are still worth every single point, and the Earth Element provides the control tools needed to stay reliably in the game.
   

   Game 1 vs. Old Dominion (Xhiliarch list, Forlorn Hope)
   In this match, the dice were completely on the side of the Sorcerer Kings. In Round 2, the Sorcerer Kings brought virtually their entire force onto the battlefield, while the Old Dominion managed to roll only a single reinforcement. In Round 3, the same disaster struck again with the OD’s most crucial activation. Unable to respond to the mounting pressure, the Old Dominion army was swiftly removed from the table.

   Game 2 vs. Dweghom (Tempered Steelshaper, Grind Them Down)
   A careless mistake led to the early loss of the Steelheart Djinn, and from that point on, chewing through the D4 units became a painfully slow process. To be honest, it only worked moderately well, and the attrition battle was an absolute nightmare. In the end, victory came down to experience and a pair of flying monsters with Movement 8, which were fast enough to secure the critical zones together.

   Game 3 vs. Hundred Kingdoms (Order/Feudal list by Marcus, Off Balance)
   A true evergreen matchup. Marcus and I play one or more games every Wednesday. We both know exactly how the other builds their deck and approaches the game. We had played this matchup several times before the tournament—which is actually the reason why the Earth Element made it into the list in the first place. A strategically positioned lake and the Earth spells helped hold the line long enough. In the end, the birds and the Mahut were able to crash into the enemy knights with Move-Charge actions and slowly but surely grind them down.

Closing remarks

May was, of course, an incredibly successful month for me personally from a competitive standpoint, and I’m absolutely thrilled about that. In the long run, however, a true meta report thrives on variety and on showcasing the different concepts and approaches brought by a wide range of players. That’s why I’m hoping that next month I’ll be able to present not only my own armies, but also plenty of other exciting lists.

Fortunately, the prospects for variety next month look extremely promising. June brings no fewer than three fantastic tournaments, some of which are already completely sold out. That means plenty of activity within the community, and I strongly expect that the next report will feature several undefeated tournament players and, with them, a whole range of different approaches and army concepts.

If you’d like to get some games in yourself during June, these events will provide the opportunity:

• 06.06.26 | Conquest im Sidequest #10: Fully booked. All 18 out of 18 starting slots are currently taken. However, you can still sign up for the waitlist in case any spots become available at short notice. We’ll definitely be there again with the club!

• 13.06.26 | 6. Eroberung der Scheune in Bedburg: Marco is once again inviting players to Bedburg. Anyone interested in one of the greatest events in Germany should definitely stop by. At the moment, 19 out of 30 total spots are still available.

• 13.06.26 | Conquest of Asgard 4 in Aschaffenburg: A few hundred kilometers further south, another fantastic tournament will take place on the same weekend. In Aschaffenburg, 20 players are currently registered, but only 11 of them have paid so far. So make sure to secure your spot quickly, as on-site capacity is limited.

I will personally try to attend both events and am really looking forward to meeting many of you there in person.

Best regards,
Hanna

Tournament results and army lists from Germany, April 2026

Hello everyone,

after the big update, there’s been quite a bit of movement in the scene. In April, two tournaments were held in Germany again, where some well-known, almost forgotten army concepts reappeared on the tables.

As in the past two months, a quick note for our international readers: in Germany, there are hardly any two-day tournaments. Most events consist of three rounds and are therefore often decided by the tiebreaker SoS. SoS stands for Strength of Schedule and basically describes how successful the opponents were that you faced over the course of the tournament.

Last Argument of Ländle II

The Snake Eye Club put out the call, and the community showed up in force: with 26 players and guests from the Netherlands, Switzerland, and France, the Last Argument of Ländle II was a real highlight.

What made it special: five rounds were played over two days, which gave us a clear winner in the end, no tiebreaker arithmetic needed.

You can find all the details, lists, and matchups on Longshanks and T³ as well: Longshanks • Last Argument of Ländle II  &  T³ - TableTop Turniere - Last Argument of Ländle II 

Army Lists Winnenden

1. 1st Place – The W’adrhŭn Hanna
   In the first game against Yoroni, my activation control paid off massively: in round 2, I had 12 cards in my deck, while my opponent only had a handful available. This huge advantage laid the foundation for the win, as most of the Yoroni army didn’t enter the field until round 4 and couldn’t withstand the pressure by then.

   The second match against Hundred Kingdoms, on the other hand, was a nail-biter. My Slingers were the absolute heroes in this game—not because of their shooting (which was rather disappointing throughout the tournament), but because they destroyed two crucial objective markers. Without that effort, and a Hunting Pack that managed to slip behind enemy lines, I probably would have lost the game.

   Round 3 against Ardent initially looked absurdly dominant, but turned into a complete war of attrition. In the end, only one stand of Braves and two stands of Warbred were left on the field. One or two dice rolls different, and my army would have been completely wiped out. My conclusion: Ardent is a much better option than Dweghom players always claim! The fact that I still scored so many points was simply because those few remaining units bravely held the zones over multiple rounds.

   In round 4 against Fallen Divinity, the winning scenario from the community contest was played. Since my reinforcement line was quite close to the opponent, I kept pushing troops into the Old Dominion non-stop and essentially sacrificed my entire army just to maintain the points lead.

   The final against Bulwark (with an Archimandrite Warlord) followed the tried-and-true plan: score early and then slow the opponent down with units to the point where they could no longer win mathematically. By round 10, I only had a single stand of Hunting Pack, one Predator, and one stand of Slingers left.

1. Wesergeplänkel im Kutami

On the last weekend of April, a Conquest tournament was held in Bremen again for the first time in three years. This time, the event took place in the new, significantly larger venue that Kutami moved into earlier this year. A total of 14 players from the region and the Netherlands gathered for the occasion. Since the down-paired player in round 3 lost, there was a clear winner at the end, no tiebreaker arithmetic required.

Army List Bremen

1. 1st Place – Dweghom Hanna
   After getting the chance to play against Leo’s Ardent list in Winnenden—and having a great time doing so I borrowed the models from Uziel to bring the concept onto the battlefield myself. In the first two games, I faced two almost identical Xhiliarch lists in the scenarios Forlorn Hope and Bulwark. Both matches were ultimately won thanks to Supremacy and the massive backlash damage from Lethal Demise.

   In the final, I faced Dr. Bär’s Spires in a melee scenario. He was running a Merchant Prince clone list with three regiments of Bound Clones. The same curious phenomenon from Winnenden repeated itself, only this time with me at the helm of the Dweghom: my army once again died off incredibly quickly, but I still managed to keep a handful of stands on the field until round 6. That was enough to secure the win, while my opponent effectively ran out of steam.

   My conclusion: the list feels like it only really plays for four rounds, after that, everything is dead, and you’ve had an absolute blast.

Final Thoughts

April showed, following the big update, that many players are experimenting with new concepts and that the meta still needs time to settle. Winnenden, with its five rounds over two days, was a tough test and proved one thing: in the end, the points on the scoreboard often matter more than the models still standing on the table. Personally, the month was very successful in terms of results, but many of the games were much closer than the final scores might suggest. The overall level in the German scene is clearly rising.

If you’d like to hunt for points yourself in May, you’ll have the chance at the following events:

• 09.05.26: Bannerkrieg um Rodenbach "Part 5" There are currently still 11 spots available for a relaxed round of Conquest. It’s a very laid-back tournament series that hasn’t been particularly successful for our club so far, but has always been a lot of fun, one of the many reasons we’ll be attending again this time.

• 16.05.26: Der Ruf des Kraken - Vol. 3 (Hamburg) Naturally, the northwest of Germany, Conquest’s own little paradise, will also host another event in May. Registration has just opened, and 10 players have already signed up.

I’ll personally try to attend both events and am really looking forward to meeting many of you there in person.

Tournament results and army lists from Germany, March 2026.

Hey everyone,

as in the previous month, I’ve once again compiled the undefeated army lists from German Conquest tournaments for March.

As a quick note again for our international readers: in Germany, there are hardly any two-day tournaments. Most events consist of three rounds and are therefore often decided by the tiebreaker SoS. SoS stands for Strength of Schedule and basically describes how successful the opponents were that you faced over the course of the tournament.

2. Drunken Conquest

The March kickoff was hosted by the Drunken Dwarfs with their invitation to the 2nd Drunken Conquest Tournament in Duisburg. 20 players gathered, many of them bringing quite a few experimental lists. T3 results link: 2. Drunken Conquest – Turnier in Duisburg (Germany) | T³

A total of three players remained undefeated; the final standings were determined by SoS. The scenarios played were Declined Flank in round 1, Forlorn Hope in round 2, and Breakout in the final game.

   In the first game, I faced the Weaver (Court of Winter). In round two, I went up against SirGrhinos Nords, who brought the same list [link] that had already gone 3–0 the previous month in Hamburg. This mortal-heavy list put me under the most pressure during the tournament due to its fast scoring throughout the game.

   In the third game, I finally faced Ice Cobra’s Hundred Kingdoms Theist/Feudal list, which in the end was decided in my favor due to two small positioning mistakes.

2. 2nd Place – Yoroni Wushu
   Wushu from Bielefeld also remained undefeated with a Yoroni list. Both this list and the one in third place once again show that there are multiple viable builds within the faction, not just a single dominant standard variant.

   In the first game, Wushu faced Nords, followed by a match in round two against a Wadrhun Predator on Apex. Uziel led the Wadrhun and pushed the Apex relatively unopposed through parts of the Yoroni lines. In this situation, Wushu kept a clear head and sacrificed one of his Brute heroes to secure three zones. Since Yoroni Brute characters count as three stands, this allowed him to win the game.

   In the final match, he once again faced Wadrhun this time “only” a Tontorr with Rider. Although it survived and consistently held the central zone in Breakout, the Yoroni controlled the outer zones long enough to ultimately secure the victory.

3. 3rd Place – Yoroni Nino
   As in Hamburg, Nino once again secured third place in Duisburg. His first game was against an Underspire Pheromancer Warlord, followed by a round two match against Nick’s Spires, who still hasn’t quite warmed to the faction’s newer direction.

   His final game against Wadrhun turned out to be particularly spectacular, with a single Domaru-Damashi Command Stand becoming an executioner of death:

   In round 3, he had to watch as the Warbred snatched his objective right from under him. Together with his two comrades, he held his ground—though only one of them survived. In round 4, his brothers were crushed, but he rallied and struck down the remaining two Warbred. In round 5, he charged and slew the wounded Quatl. In round 6, he cleared the remaining two stands of Braves, who had previously taken down the other Domaru. In round 7, he was move-charged by a second unit of Warbred, but survived the impact hits and, with the help of a few Tengu, cut the beasts down.

   Following Nino’s tradition after such a massacre, the model will receive an upgraded base, an image of the WIP miniature can be found below the army list.

Conquest im Sidequest #9 - Undying Loyalty

At the last weekend of March, the ninth Sidequest tournament took place. Despite the short notice, 16 brave players gathered. Notably, there was a high proportion of Wadrhun (about one-third of the field), which actually goes against the current meta—but in Bremerhaven, many players took the opportunity to try out something different.

T3 results link: Conquest im Sidequest #9 - T³

A total of two players remained undefeated; the final standings were determined by SoS. The scenarios played were Bulwark in round 1, Foresight in round 2, and Melee in the final game.

Army Lists Bremerhaven

1. 1st Place – Dweghom Hanna
   After many games with the Sorcerer Kings, I wanted a change and switched to the Dweghom. I based my list on Uziel’s ITC list. After victories against Spires (Merchant Prince) and Wadrhun, I faced the Chios player Hickmix (Xhiliarch + Theokrator) in the final on Melee, which I was able to win.

2. 2nd Place – Yoroni Nino
   Nino brought his Yoroni again to Bremerhaven, once more opting for his massive, solid blocks instead of the spider list. His path to the podium, however, was anything but easy:

   In the first game, he narrowly battled through a Spires Merchant Prince Clones list. Round two pitted him against SirGhrinos Nords (who eventually took third place), before the final turned into an ultimate thriller against the City States with Polemarch-Warlord. Nino almost fell victim to his own maneuver here, accidentally sending his valuable Kitsune block head-on into a regiment of Phalangites. The fact that he was still able to turn the game around speaks to both Nino’s skill and the strength of the Yoroni, even without spider spam and probably a few very lucky dice rolls at just the right moment.
   
   Note from Nino: That was absolutely no accident! It was a deliberate decision. I’m pretty sure I even justified my strategic masterstroke to the Culexus beforehand with, “After all, we’re here to charge!” Was it a dumb idea? Sure, but it was a planned, dumb idea!

Conquest of Asgard 3

At the same time as the northern tournament, the Conquest of Asgard 3 took place in the deep south during the last weekend of March. While Bremerhaven saw many players using factions unusual for them, the field in Aschaffenburg was smaller, with ten players, but the lists were much more brutal, among them several Yoroni lists with a heavy spider focus.

T3 results link: Conquest of Asgard 3 - T³

Army List Aschaffenburg

1. 1st Place – Spire Bankster
   As the only undefeated player in the tournament, Robert “Discord-Bankster” confidently claimed the throne. With his Underspires list, he impressively demonstrated that synergy and precise positioning are the most effective counter to the current Yoroni meta: the eight-legged dominance was coldly dissected by the biological horrors of the Spire laboratories that day.

   His winning streak began with a victory against the City States (Polemarch) in the Breakout mission, followed by a tough clash against W’adrhŭn (Chieftain) in Head to Head. In the grand final, he faced the feared list of three Dai Yokais and two Spiders. Despite the three Sweeping Step Yokais, the Yoroni maneuvered themselves into a dead end. Robert ruthlessly exploited the cramped positioning, completely cornered his opponent, and secured a well-deserved tournament victory.

4. Schaben Conquest

One event I still need to mention, which I unfortunately overlooked last month, is the Schwaben Conquest in Wolfschlugen. Even though Maphi was only able to gather a small group of players there, one thing is extremely important to me: every event you organize matters!

Whether there are 6, 10, or 12 players, these tournaments are the engine of the local community. Activity sparks interest among new players, so get out there, play, be friendly, and share your photos. Every posted miniature and game report can be the spark that inspires someone else to start playing Conquest.

1. 1st Place – Yoroni Chameleongnom
   Tobi (Chameleongnom) claimed victory in a very competitive field. In round 1, he defeated the City States (Divide and Conquer), followed by a win against Jerrek’s Hundred Kingdoms (Grind Them Down) in round 2, and in the final, he faced DasEi, who brought his Spires. Looking at the lists on Longshanks, it’s clear how high the level of play was: Redfreak, Jerrek, and DasEi apparently used the event to thoroughly test their ITC lists. That Tobi was able to prevail with his Yoroni here highlights, once again, the current strength of the faction.

Closing Words

March has shown impressively that the German Conquest scene is more vibrant than ever. Whether it’s the tactical “chess” of Aschaffenburg, the cozy gathering in Bremerhaven, or the ITC list testing in Wolfschlugen, the community is growing, and the level of play is clearly rising. It will be especially exciting to see how the meta evolves after the announced update and which factions will dominate in April.

For anyone now eager to roll the dice themselves: April is just around the corner and brings two absolute highlights:

• 18.04. – 19.04.26: Last Argument of Ländle II (Winnenden) A true highlight in the south! We’re looking forward to a two-day tournament, with even our friends from France attending. Currently, there’s just one spot left, so sign up quickly before the event is completely full!

• 25.04.26: 1. Wesergeplänkel im Kutami (Bremen) Things will heat up again in the northwest. The Bremer invite you to the Kutami. There are currently 7 spots available, a great chance to further strengthen the local northern scene.

I’ll try to attend both events myself and am really looking forward to meeting many of you in person.

Cheers

Hanna

Tournament results and army lists from Germany, February 2026.

Welcome to a new series! In this series, I will regularly present the successful lists that remained undefeated at German tournaments.

For our international readers, it may be important to know that there are virtually no two-day tournaments in Germany. Most events consist of three rounds and are therefore often decided using the tiebreaker SoS. SoS stands for Strength of Schedule and basically describes how successful the opponents you faced during the tournament performed.

Der Ruf des Kraken - Vol. 2

The series begins with the first tournament of the year, which took place in the picturesque city of Hamburg. With 20 starting spots and delicious grilled specialties, the first German Conquest tournament of 2026 attracted numerous players to the north. Three rounds were played. The event was one of six qualifying tournaments for the Hanseatic Championship and also counted as a World Event.

With the exception of two Xhiliarchs from the Old Dominion, the current heavyweights—such as the Yoroni Spiders or the Sorcerer Kings’ Chandavats—were not present. Instead, the tournament featured predominantly friendlier lists and a relaxed atmosphere.
Important: the factions listed on T3 are partially incorrect.
T3 Results Link: Der Ruf des Kraken - Vol. 2 - Turnierergebnisse | T³ - TableTop Turniere - Deutschland

In total, three players remained undefeated, with final placements ultimately decided by SoS.

Bannerkrieg um Rodenbach "Part 4"

The second tournament of 2026 took place in central Germany, in Rodenbach. Like the first, it was a one-day World Event, this time with a total of 12 participants.
Again, not all factions are correctly listed on T3.

In the end, two Old Dominion Xhiliarch lists remained undefeated, though with different additions. As in Hamburg, the tournament winner was determined using the SoS tiebreaker.

Lindenstruth Invitational Origins

The third event in February had a clear theme: competitive powerplay was explicitly not the goal, according to the T3 entry. Instead, players were encouraged to try alternative concepts and bring less commonly played units to the table. Since no lists were provided to me for this event, it is harder to analyze.

What is interesting, however, is the final result: three draws led to an extremely close field where no army could clearly stand out. Places 1–4 each had 2 wins and 1 draw, and places 1–3 even had exactly the same SoS of 1.22. Congratulations to Niniel with W’adrhŭn for winning the tournament.

Closing Words

he start of the year already shows clearly that the German Conquest scene remains active in 2026. While Old Dominion with Xhiliarch variants dominated in Hamburg and Rodenbach, Reiskirchen provided a deliberate contrast.

In March, four more events are scheduled, all of which still have available spots:

• 14.03.26 2. Drunken Conquest – Duisburg 

• 22.03.26 Conquest Turnier auf der Gedankenwelten Con – Homburg (Einsteiger Event mit 1500 Punkten)

• 28.03.26 Conquest of Asgard 3 – Aschaffenburg 

• 28.03.26 Conquest im Sidequest #9 – Bremerhaven

Anyone looking for a Saturday with good conversations and an engaged community will find plenty of opportunities in March.
