Conquest players, sharpen your blades and clear some shelf space. Para Bellum Games has just pulled back the curtain on its latest masterpiece: Winter’s Bite, a Founder’s Exclusive model that is as deadly on the battlefield as it is stunning in a display case.
Scheduled to hit retail on May 27, 2026, this isn’t just another release—it’s a collector’s Holy Grail.
The Beast and the Rider
Winter’s Bite features a formidable Gemred Knight mounted atop a terrifying Lindworm. This isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade; it brings serious tactical weight to your army. By introducing the Court of Winter Cavalry Type, this model transforms your presence on the board.
Stat Boosts & Special Rules:
-
Increased Durability: Adds +2 to the Wounds Characteristic.
-
Devastating Charges: Equipped with Impact (4) and Brutal Impact (2).
-
Battlefield Dominance: Features Hardened (1) for staying power and Trample (2) to crush opposing infantry.
Limited Edition
If you’re a completionist or a fan of rare hobby gems, take note. Winter’s Bite is a strictly numbered edition.
-
Total Run: Only 1,099 units will ever be produced.
-
The Vault is Real: Para Bellum has confirmed this model will never be issued again once the initial stock is gone.
-
MSRP: $109.99
The Verdict
At $109.99, you’re paying for exclusivity and a massive tactical advantage. Given the “one-and-done” nature of Founder’s Exclusives, these usually vanish during the pre-order phase or within hours of hitting the shelves.
Whether you play The Hundred Kingdoms or simply love the aesthetic of a knight riding a wingless drake, you’ll want to move fast. Mark your calendars for May 27—before the frost thaws and these models disappear forever.
Pro Tip: Check with your local game store (LGS) now to see if they are taking pre-orders. With only 1,099 copies worldwide, “retail” might be a very short-lived window! You can also preorder direct from Para Bellum
