Snag Armada Faction Bundles & Learn More From Mantic Games
November 12, 2020 by brennon
As an update, pre-orders are still live for the various Starter Fleets in Mantic Games' Fantasy sea-battler, Armada and that includes two big bundles for both the Orcs and Basileans.
Basilean Getting Started Bundle // Mantic Games
Each of the bundles comes with the Starter Fleet, Booster Fleet, the Rulebook and its assorted tokens and terrain plus a set of dice if you don't have access to a bunch of them already. They certainly seem like a good way to dive into the game if you're not fussed by the standard Two-Player Starter Set.
The same goes for the Orc Bundle as well. If you'd prefer to set your sights on one faction in the game then you have some nice options from the folks at Mantic Games.

If these various fleets have caught your eye then it's worth also checking out some more of the videos by Mantic which we've listed below. These focus in on each of the factions from the game right now!
Basilean Faction Focus
Dwarf Faction Focus
Empire Of Dust Faction Focus
I'm sure that the Orc video will be coming sooner rather than later and when it does we'll make sure to update it here!
Until then, let us know which faction speaks to you and if you're getting into this game.

who needs wimpy elfses, pink skins or those short stacks ?
Wonder if I could just pick up the rules and use it with Dreadfleet ships…
You probably could; most of the Kings of War races have their basis in old Warhammer races, so I don’t see any issue apart from some slight design differences.
1 ship per fleet may make for a dull game mind you
The ships are looking brilliant, I can see Egyptian lovers going for the undead fleet so they can play them in other games
Waiting for the two player starter et al to appear over the horizon.
Will Mantic be bringing out an acrylic tokens set to go with the bases and templates ? I’m eyeing up a Basilean Fleet ( plus a couple of sets of dice ) and will want to pimp out the game as much as possible.Having said that,by the time I get around to it ( taking into account shiny distractions ) it may be well into the new year before I lay my hands on any Armada related goodies.
interesting question, I don’t know if they’ll bother, it would be quite pricey for a fleets worth of tokens, more than the ships themselves. probably 3rd party if you’re after the tokens would be your best bet
Cheers @avernos.
Looking forward to a size for size of these ships and black sails… 4 to a box for mantic… frigate box has 3 3rd rates and both at the same price ( wayland games ). Of course Mantic are in less pieces.. “push in masts” and no rigging and look quite lovely too…. we know more soon… Also i want dragons and airships please…
