The Fantasy naval wargame, Armada, by Mantic Games has expanded with a new fleet of ships. Break through the ice and start raiding enemy lands with the Northern Alliance.

Northern Alliance Fleet Starter // Armada

At the core of these pre-orders, we have the Northern Alliance Fleet Starter. This set gets you going with the Northern Alliance and offers up a Serpent, Draakar and Snekkja for you to use when harrying the enemy on the open seas.

If you want more ships in your fleet then you can also get your hands on the Fleet Booster which offers up six more ships.

This gives you an Icebreaker and a Skeid which each have their own specialities. I do like that the larger ships all have something modelled onto the prow. It's a good way of identifying these different ships quickly on the tabletop and they should be fun to paint. I like the snarling wolf head in particular.

As well as the two larger ships, there are also two pairs of Karvi which can be used to sneak into the midst of formations and cause panic.

Last but not least, we also have the larger and imposing Busse.

This allows the Northern Alliance to take almost an entire army across the seas. I could see one of these crashing into the midst of the enemy formation and disgorging its crew of wild warriors, taking down your foes with axe and sword.

It's not just ship in the mix for the Northern Alliance. You can also add in the Fliers Pack for some aerial support.

This gives you some familiar monsters from the 28mm battlefield but in Armada scale! This gives you a Chimera and an Ice Elemental. You could either turn your opponents into icebergs or rip them to pieces with primal ferocity.

Could you be tempted by the Northern Alliance?
