Conquest: Crucible of Wills Campaign Packs Explained

Two limited-run Crucible of Wills packs bring narrative campaigns and exclusive characters to Conquest. Here's how they differ and how to start one.
Quick answer
Pick Crucible of Wills: The Stone Face Campaign if you want two exclusive character miniatures and a self-contained clash between Eric Shurr's Hundred Kingdoms and the Dweghom; pick Fanning the Fire if your group plays in the Allerian Plains and wants a Court of Fire–driven narrative. Both are limited-run lore packs, so decide before they sell out.
What separates the two Crucible of Wills packs
The Stone Face Campaign is built around a named rivalry: Eric Shurr and the Hundred Kingdoms against Ragodosh, the Stone Face King, and the Dweghom. That focus makes it the easier entry point for a group that wants a clear, character-led story with two exclusive sculpts to anchor it.
Fanning the Fire takes a wider view. Its narrative turns on the arrival of the Sorcerer Kings and the founding of Taj'Khinjaha by the Court of Fire in the Allerian Plains, a region long disputed between the City States and the Hundred Kingdoms. Choose it when your players already have a stake in that region or want a campaign about rising tensions rather than a single duel.
Why limited-run lore packs change the buying decision
Both packs are described as limited-run releases, and the exclusive miniatures in The Stone Face Campaign are not available elsewhere. If you or your opponent want those specific characters, waiting is the real risk—not the price. For a group that only wants the campaign rules, either pack can serve, but check that your collection covers the forces the story calls for before you commit.
Crucible of Wills FAQ
- Do I need both packs to run a campaign?
- No. Each pack is a standalone campaign product; start with the one whose factions and region match your group. Add the other later only if you want a second narrative arc. Match the pack to the armies your players already own.
- Which pack is better for a first Conquest campaign?
- The Stone Face Campaign is the clearer starting point because its story is framed around two named characters and a direct faction clash. Fanning the Fire assumes more interest in the wider political situation around the Sorcerer Kings. New groups should favor the character-led pack.
- How do I start a Conquest campaign with one of these packs?
- Read the campaign book before your first session, agree with your group which factions will be represented, and schedule a fixed number of game nights. Treat the book's scenarios as the spine and use your existing Conquest armies to fill the battles. Set the schedule before the first game, not after.
- Can I use the miniatures outside the campaign?
- The two exclusive sculpts in The Stone Face Campaign represent Eric Shurr and the Stone Face King. Use them in your games as the characters they depict; the pack does not supply rules for using them as generic units. Plan your list around named characters, not proxies.
- What if my group plays different factions than the ones in the pack?
- The campaign book is written around specific factions and regions. If your group's armies fall outside those, use the book for scenario ideas and structure rather than as a strict roster, and expect to adapt. Treat the narrative as a framework when your factions differ.
