Vallyx’s shadows and Foulblood’s scum strike the seas — and the shelves

Get 'yer sea legs set and prime your spells, me hearties! — the newest Command Starters for Warmachine have landed. Southern Kriels Foulblood’s Armada and the Khymaera Shard Nocturnes are here and ready to wreak havoc on your tabletops.

Each set delivers a complete, out-of-the-box 30-point force, packed with the rum-soaked bilgerats of Foulblood’s Armada or the Shadow-crafted operatives, the Shard Nocturnes both sets are hard plastic miniatures — get both into a game right now from the Steamforged store.

Rum-fuelled chaos & cannon fodder

The only thing louder than the cannons aboard Foulblood’s ragtag fleet is the belching laughter of its crew. 

Reeking of rum and grapeshot this is not a navy in any conventional sense — this is organised anarchy at sea. Dressed in torn finery and led by the ever-inebriated Commodore Foulblood, the armada has become both a scourge and a punchline across Immoren’s coasts.

You’ll find explosive synergy in this warband: Foulblood’s feat Rum & Grapeshot turns drunken staggering into tactical brilliance, while Chum’s Snacking and Hyper-Regeneration keep him clobbering long after most beasts would keel over.

Plunder the table with Southern Kriels Foulblood’s Armada Command Starter today and bring unhinged pirate fury to your Brineblood Marauders force.

Want to round out the crew? Pick up the Brineblood Marauders Core Expansion to take your piracy to the next level.

Death on silver wings

Where the Armada is thunder and bravado, the Nocturnes are a silent scalpel. Led by the sleek and deadly warlock Vallyx, Fate’s Eclipse.

Excelling in reconnaissance, reinforcement and assassination these Khymaera operatives represent the most elite and responsive force in the Shadowflame Shard. Silent, swift, and terrifyingly effective, they embody the dual will of their creators, the twin warlocks Rhyas and Saeryn.

Abilities like Blood Moon push the limits of critical hit synergy, making every strike from your Nocturnes terrifyingly efficient. Aklyss, the airborne warbeast, floats in on clouds of Caustic Mist while Pythia and Regulus control the battlefield with arcane finesse and subterfuge. The Shades of Shyvess clean up what’s left — if there’s anything still breathing.

Unleash chromatic chaos with Khymaera Shard Nocturnes Command Starter

The sea’s singing, and it’s not a lullaby

So me lads & ladies – are ye’ embodying death on silver wings with the Shard Nocturnes or bringing brutal, grapeshot-soaked mayhem with Foulblood’s Armada? both Command Starters mark a perfect jumping-on point — or an excellent expansion for veterans to expand your existing armies.
