Get ready to take to the seas with the new Armada Faction, the Northern Alliance! The game is growing fast and full of high-seas combat!
The game is all about sea warfare set in their fantasy Kings of War world. The gameplay seems to be fast but in-depth with only 6-9 ships being used per side. The game started out with three factions, Orcs, Dwarves, and Basileans, but they are introducing a bunch of new factions from the looks of it.
They recently added two new box sets to introduce the Northern, which are on pre-order now. If you enjoy the Black Seas ruleset by Warlord Games, you’ll feel right at home here. Let’s take a look at some of the new minis.
Northern Alliance Fleet Starter: $55
This starter set is a great way to get into the faction. If you haven’t learned much about the game, you can check out the release from a few months ago.
The fleets of the northern clans share their designs – ones that have served them well for centuries. Their sleek vessels often eschew heavy guns in favor of maneuverability and boarding equipment, striking swiftly into the heart of the enemy fleet so that their hardy warriors might get to grips with the foe face-to-face.
Let’s look at everything in the kit:

Fleet Booster: $55
Many are the tales of woe told by the survivors of their attacks – stories of the arrival of dragon-headed ships, and the cold-hearted raiders they bear. In huddled dockside taverns across the northern provinces, men speak in hushed tones of the Varangur berserkers, who arrive in their longships, razing ports and pillaging all before them in the name of their god, Korgaan. The Northern Alliance are often tarred with the same brush by those ignorant of the ways of the North
