Set in the Kings of War world, Armada tasks you with commanding 6 to 9 warships in a 90 to 120 minute battle for control of the seas.  Table size is the standard 4&#8242; by 4&#8242; or 4&#8242; by 6&#8242;.  Based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-seas.com\/\">Black Seas rules set <\/a>by Warlord Games, a renowned designer of historical miniatures and rules sets, Armada&#8217;s mechanics have been streamlined and given a fantasy spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmogames.com\/miniatures\/table-top-miniatures-games\/armada\/\">While preorders are available now<\/a>, Armada ships, pun intended, November 21st, 2020.  Factions at launch include Basilean (humans) and Orcs in a tow-player starter set as wells as individual ships, faction starters, and faction boosters.  Two additional factions release in January, 2021 with a Dwarven fleet and the Empire of Dust (Tomb King \/ Egyptian style undead).  Even more factions from Kings of War release throughout 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kings of War: Armada&#8217;s ships use resin for their multi-part kits.  At the moment, the parts include a solid, molded hull with separate sails and  weapons.  BlackJack Legacy has a preview of the Basilean ships with extreme close-ups of detail and supporting structure.  They are simply beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8WXxgnM_w78\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>BlackJack Legacy has additional video for the Dwarf ships.  As you&#8217;d expect, they employ an fantasy ironclad aesthetic that screams brute-force and resliancy.  Model components, again, use a solid, molded hull with turreted weapons and side-mounted arrays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xhZIH8yRliA\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, Orc ship previews have been limited.  We have a picture of a painted warship from the Mantic site and renders from the two-player Starter.  They are copied below.  Given what we know from the videos, Orc kits should have a uni-hull with separate sails and weapons.  While the orcs have the expected ramshackle feel Mantic takes it in their own direction.  Those rams are insane!  I&#8217;m not sure what&#8217;s more metal, the drill or and revolving fists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"524\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmogames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Armada-ord-chips.jpg\" alt=\"Armada Orc renders\" class=\"wp-image-296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmogames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Armada-ord-chips.jpg 524w, https:\/\/www.cmogames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Armada-ord-chips-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmogames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Armada_battle1-1024x809-1.png\" alt=\"Armada painted Basilean and Orc ship\" class=\"wp-image-297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmogames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Armada_battle1-1024x809-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.cmogames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Armada_battle1-1024x809-1-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cmogames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Armada_battle1-1024x809-1-768x607.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll share more as we get details.
