Union Faction Battlegroup Starter Set // Armoured Clash

Learn How To Play Armoured Clash

The Union Faction Battlegroup Starter Set comes packed with everything you need to start playing the Union and Armoured Clash. At the heart of the set are the Federal Troopers who will act as your rank and file in your games, marching forth to secure objectives.

They can be armed with a variety of special weapons meaning that they can deal with different threats, be they infantry or vehicles. When you need to bring the veterans in, the Union can also call on the Pacifier Heavy Infantry Platoon who are your battle-hardened veterans clad in heavy armour.

Charging "cavalry" also makes a statement as part of the Union forces. You have the classic Iron Horse Cavalry but also the Blazers who are the heavy-duty side of the cavalry offering for the Union in your games.

They are likely to charge forward under covering fire from the likes of the Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon which will be blasting craters in the battlefield and sending enemy troops scattering to the winds!

Last but not least, it wouldn't be the Union without something train-related and that's where the Lakota Heavy Rail comes in. Now that is a proper land train and I can sense that somewhere Lloyd is sweating with anticipation.

This is by no means all of the contents of the new Battlegroup Starter Set. There are more miniatures for the Union army but also Rules & Gubbins...

It also gives you a good base to expand from as anything you add in the future will always be useful in bulking out armies for larger games.

These miniatures will be coming in November so watch this space!
