Dip Your Toe Into Mantic’s Armada With The New Taster Set
August 2, 2022 by brennon
Mantic Games are offering up a limited edition set for Armada that allows you to give this naval wargame a go without diving all the way in. A new Taster Set is up for pre-order ahead of a release at the end of August.

This set comes with a Basilean Gur Panther miniature and an Orc Bloodrunner that can go up against each other on the paper playmat that comes with additional rules references built in. You also get the full Rulebook for Armada alongside a set of tokens and terrain plus the Armada Dice Set.

The Rulebook and the Tokens are worth £30 by themselves so with this set coming in at the same price, that works out as a pretty neat saving when it comes to diving in and trying out Armada. I really like the addition of the mat with the built-in rules reference - it makes things a lot easier for newcomers to learn the rules.
Could you be tempted to give Armada a go now that there is a Taster Set out there?

“Dip your toes” – take the rest of the day off Ben, you’ve earned it today. Tell Warren I said it’s ok.
It IS interesting, I much say. Only a tad sad that the shipping costs to mainland Europe cause the price to double…
Water is cold!
Ooh nice.
To be honest, I think they’ve botched the game a bit with the release style they do and the price tag on the models. Comparing it to Dystopian Wars, Warcradle has made it so it’s much more appealing to buy the models and I, at least, get the feeling that I’ve got my money’s worth when I buy DW stuff. Here, not so much. I bought the starter set for Armada only because it was discounted by 70% in a Spanish store at the end of 2021.
