Si really like the idea of Conquest being ran under Strakhov, but im running into blanks for lists and was wondering what people were running if they are running this combo? Thanks!

I should first state that I personally would not run a Conquest with Strakhov. Loses out on the most fun aspect of going downtown Charlie Brown on your opponents casters.
However if you do. Id probably have a 2nd jack in there that can benefit from Overrun (Ruin is my top pick). And after that I would find complimentary pieces. Uhlans, IFP, R&R are all great choices with Strakhov.

I prefer Victor personally, not to say conquest is bad. I agree with KotN though, i think its necessary to have a second jack to keep the threat of overrun on the table. Ruin, Beast-09, or even a humble marauder are great options.

The list Welsh is running has conquest, two juggy and a grolar. I've tried both a conquest and a victor with strakhov and while sentry is better on victor, conquest is way more reliable to trigger overrun and overrun is what makes Strakhov a good caster so I prefer the conquest with him overall. My personal favorite jack for Strakhov is the Grolar, native pathfinder allow for the best overrun move and the ram hammer is very good.

The Conquest benefits from the +4" movement and free charge. The Conquest is fine with Strak (although I'd bring Orin if you expect to face WW, since getting your Conquest shut down SUCKS).

Armchair Warrior I'm sure he's referring to Overrun - though definitely +4 from the feat is pretty big increase to Conquests threat

Oooooh. He's the THING that triggers the overrun, not the target. That's like saying Trix are for Kids. Duh.

Strakhov Conquest Spriggan Uhlans Doomreavers flavor to taste
Conquest gets Sentry Spriggan gets Superiority Strakhov or Conquest gets Overrun on feat turn to move Spriggan up so it can make a charge at the warcaster from the next county over.
It's a classic combo as far as I'm concerned. Wasn't it referred to as "The Shining Spear" or something like that?

It's the Heaven Piercing Spear.
And it's so much better when you use Ruin.
Also, I like the Heaven Piercing Thumper, by using a Grolar. One less inch threat, but auto knockdown is really good.
Like really good.
Like better than sex good. (Maybe)

What? The sex or the conquest?
I wouldn't recommend both at the same time however.

I'm sorry, but I have never, ever liked Conquest. Can someone please explain to me why you would ever take her over Victor, aside from the 1 point difference?

Well she can actually hit things with her main gun.
And her chest guns are actually useful, rather than the short ranged pea shooters that Vicky has. I've won games with pow 10 blast damage on less armoured warcasters.
