The Elf Fleet has Set Sail for Mantic Games’ Armada

The last Armada fleet has arrived in stores! The elves are one of the greatest seafaring races of Pannithor. Their sleek ships cut through the waves and their bolt throwers cut through enemy sails.

You can order your forces now!

ELF STARTER FLEET

It is said that the elves first learned their modern ship-building techniques from the Celestians, but had explored much of the known world before the other races had dared leave the safety of their coastal waters. Elf warships are equipped primarily with bristling ranks of bolt-throwers, whose enchanted ammunition can pierce the hulls of even a dwarf ironclad. Out of necessity, however, the larger vessels also carry some cannon upon their lower gundecks.

ELF BOOSTER FLEET

Over the millennia, elven ships have changed very little in their design and construction – a testament to the incredible seafaring knowledge possessed by the forebears of the Sea Kindreds. In the groves behind Therennia Adar, warship parts are painstakingly crafted beneath impossibly high forest canopies.

ELF BOOSTER FLEET

VALANDOR XL SHIP

Developed from the Stormcaller trimarans with which the elves first conquered half the world’s oceans, Valandors are triple-hulled, lateen-sailed warships, whose size belies their staggering speed and manoeuvrability.

ELF FLIERS

The importance of air support has been at the forefront of naval warfare since the earliest days, when the elves first encountered hostile fleets upon the oceans. It was in battle with their age-old rivals the dwarfs that the elves, led by Aethmar, the Prince of Fathoms, first unleashed a flight of drakon riders upon the unsuspecting foe. The elves still continue their ages-long tradition of riding to war on fierce drakons, the smaller cousins of the majestic dragons.

Mantic Unveils XL Ships for Armada

The medium and large ships for Armada are pretty massive but they’re nothing compared to the Extra Large ships! Mantic has revealed four new extra large ships for Armada which are available for preorder now.

BASILEAN DICTATOR

Perhaps the largest and most powerful vessels in any human navy, these incredibly rare ships are a sight to behold. Despite their four masts, they are heavy and slow compared to other Basilean ships. The firepower of a Dictator-class is formidable to say the least, and their crews amongst the most disciplined in the fleet.

Pre-order it now for $29.99.

BASILEAN DICTATOR

ORC RIPPER HULK

The largest and most improbable orc vessels are the Ripper Hulks – and hulks they indeed are. Captained by the highest-ranking Krudger in the fleet, their tactics are simple but effective. In battle, they sail slowly and inexorably towards the biggest, baddest enemy ship they can reach, and set to work with their crude machinery.

Pre-order it now for $29.99.

ORC RIPPER HULK

EMPIRE OF DUST MONOLITH

The Monoliths – largest of the Ahmunite Warships – carry a portion of Nehkesharr’s power. Through the great temple of Shobik built upon their sterns, and the glimmering Jewels of Shobik embedded into the fabric of the vessels, these enormous galleys are true remnants of the necropolis-city.

Pre-order it now for $29.99.

EMPIRE OF DUST MONOLITH

DWARF DREADNOUGHT

These enormous vessels are the epitome of dwarf technology, and represent the life’s work of their Warsmith commanders. Their funnel-stacks belch thick smoke into the air as their enormous paddle-wheels propel the ship forward through a churning sea.

Pre-order it now for $29.99.

Mantic Games Reveals the Dwarf Fleet for Armada

Kicking off 2021, Mantic Games has revealed the Dwarf Fleet for Armada. The expansions will be released later this month but can be pre-ordered now.

The Dwarf Starter Fleet features 3 miniatures for the game. It is only due to lack of numbers that the dwarfs are not renowned as a sea power, for their ships, known as ironclads, are amongst the strongest in the world –wrought with the meticulous precision of the Warsmiths, powered by steam, and bristling with the most accurate cannon on the high seas.

Pre-Order: Mantic Games, Miniature Market, Amazon

Dwarf Starter Fleet

The Dwarf Booster Fleet features 4 miniatures. All dwarf vessels are armour-plated, smoke-belching paddle-steamers, and are treated with reverential pride by the crew. Every handle, wheel and valve is decorated with a Warsmith’s unique sigils; every rivet stamped with a seal of approval.

Pre-Order: Mantic Games, Miniature Market, Amazon

Also revealed are MDF ship card trays to keep things organized. You can buy them in packs of four or individually.
