At the head of the fleet, the Empire of Dust deploy flotillas of slave-galleys, toiling under the lashes of their Ahmunite masters even in undeath. By the rites of the High Priests, the slave guardians are sacrificed – cannonballs that should have struck a War Galley instead sink a smaller vessel; a Revenant that falls during a boarding action miraculously stands again, while a slave-guardian nearby becomes a corpse once more. It is a sacrifice that the guardians make willingly, knowing that at last they can find rest in the embrace of their own gods.

Perhaps the most bizarre vessels in the Ahmunite fleet, these diminutive vessels would be overlooked were it not for the ominous energy crackling around them, emitting thrumming waves of power from Jewels of Shobik, inserted within a spinning armillary. This esoteric arrangement is the prison of an enraged Djinn, who craves no less than souls to ease his suffering. This rippling field of magical power causes the nearby enemy to feel the toll of years upon them. Wooden hulls begin to rot, cannons start to rust, and men grow weak and wrinkled with old age. Those who succumb to this warping power have their souls sucked form their bodies, only to lend power to the High Priests’ spells. Thus do the Soul Hunters visit the curse of their dead people upon the living.

War Galleys cross the open seas with square-rigged sails, but when battle is joined they lower their oars to outmanoeuvre the foe. Enemy captains often make the mistake of believing War Galleys to be crewed by mindless revenants, summoned into being by hapless necromancers – but nothing could be further from the truth. In death, as in life, galley captains are skilled tacticians, and highly disciplined. Their crews are obedient and efficient, and do not tire. Only when the lines of battle close, and ballistae skewer their hulls as if they were papyrus, do the enemy understand…

One of the more versatile ships in an orc fleet, the Blood Runner does at least boast heavy broadsides for ranged capability, as well as a massive prow-drill designed for holing enemy ships. They tend to be captained by those rare orcs who have survived past their prime, and crewed mainly by goblins. Blood runners are often derided by other orc crews, because they aren’t designed for sticking around after crippling the enemy. But in truth, without the efforts of the sneaky Blood Runners, the lumbering battle ships of the orc fleet would get to grips with the enemy far less frequently.

Those orcs with a particular penchant for things that go ‘boom!’ are often the first to volunteer for Bombboat duty. The thrill, however, is short-lived – after one or two battles aboard such a vessel, the average orc finds themselves deaf as a post. Designed by goblin Banggits, Bombboats are fitted with incredibly large and very dangerous mortars, and their one and only job is to use that weapon against the biggest target they can find – if they don’t get torn apart in the attempt.

To more civilised eyes, an Orc flotilla resembles nothing more than enormous piles of wreckage floating merrily along on the tide. Only when sails unfurl and the motley mountains of detritus change course and head directly towards them do most sea-captains start to worry.

• 1x Hammerfist
• 1x Bloodrunner
• 2x Rabble Squadron (4 ships)
• 3x orc ship cards
• 4x MDF bases

Goblin ingenuity and orc brute force are perfectly epitomised in the these two new fliers. Delighted goblins love to swoop and dive in their surprisingly graceful Winggits, while the Assault Slasher simply drops a crate full of Morax Commandos directly onto an enemy deck.

The smallest battle ships in the orc fleets, Hammerfists do not really have the bulk or impetus to ram enemy warships, but this simple fact does nothing to deter the Gadjits, who set about embellishing their ship with enormous mechanical flails and pneumatic battering rams. These seemingly impossible engines of destruction can achieve with ingenuity what a Smasher can only achieve with size, inertia and a fair wind, and are the vessel of choice for the true thrill-seeking orc.

Even some goblins show at least some aptitude for naval combat, so much so that they might be deemed capable of taking charge of a small sailship without the ‘assistance’ of orcs. These goblins typically band together in small squadrons, whose job is to cause as much of a nuisance to the enemy as possible. Once the larger ships get stuck in up close, the Rabble squadrons zip through the gaps in the line, and board the already stricken foe with the aid of their grapple-harpoons. The defending crew then find themselves attacked on all sides by grinning, cutlass-wielding maniacs, and as soon as the battle is won, the Rabble disengage and go hunting anew.

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 – huge saws powered by goblin crank-wheels that can cut a three-decker in half, mechanical battering rams capable of denting even a dwarf ironclad, and other devices more at home in a siege than on a ship.

• 1 resin Ripper Hulk and optional part for Maul
• 2 ship cards (Ripper Hulk and Maul)
• 1 mdf base

These large warships are remarkably effective at what they do: they have one simple task in battle, and that is to harness every breath of wind in their sails, and ram full-speed into the first enemy vessel they reach.

• 1x Resin Smasher
• 1x MDF Base
• 1x Armada Ship Card

The orcs could never be considered a seafaring race, but from the day they gazed out across the sea and saw two warring fleets ablaze as cannons roared, their greatest Krudger declared: ‘Yessssssss!’ And so began the orcs’ naval adventure.

Add the flame-born Scorchwings and the majestic and Phoenix to your Salamander Fleet. These fliers will serve as fiery warnings to all the pirates of the Infant Sea that their fate is sealed.

Though sightings beyond the Infant Sea are still rare, recent reports tell of black and twisted vessels engaging in battle along the Ice Blood Coast and even challenging Sea Kindred squadrons in the Vieshan Gulf. As they grow in power, so do the ships of the Twilight Kin take on a darker and more sinister aspect, increasingly resembling the leering, ravening Nightstalkers to which they are inextricably linked.

The most heavily armed of all Twilight Kin ships, and named for the murderous creatures that lurk in the shadows of their decks, Butchers are grotesque to look upon. Their prows resemble the gaping maws of nightmarish creatures, which contort as they approach the enemy, gnashing in anticipation of the coming slaughter.

• 1x Resin Twilight Kin Butcher
• 1x 100mmx30mm MDF Base

Flocks of wicked and hungry gargoyles darken the skies ahead of the deadly ships of the Twilight Kin, while blade-dancers ride the fearsome Gordrakes into battle, sowing terror amongst the enemy’s crews.

The Twilight Kin are the tyrants of the Infant Sea, a scourge to all noble races from the Eastern Reaches to the Golden Horn itself. From their hellish home around the Mouth of Leith, these raiders have become the stuff of nightmares – the terror in the night whose name old seadogs barely dare whisper.

At the heart of the Alliance battleline can be found the Oriflamme Battleship. Thoroughly modernised from the hulls of ageing Prince de Joinville class Battleships, the Oriflamme are the pride of the Republique. As much a work of art as a Battleship, even enemy crews can't help but be impressed by the lines and craftsmanship of an Oriflamme cutting through the waves.

Even the Oriflamme, as elegant as it may be, cannot engage an enemy fleet alone, and so relies on support cruisers to assist. The Chevalier Class Cruisers are the mainstay of Alliance cruisers and are able to launch screens of torpedoes in a wide range of fire arcs, as well as lay down heat lances or rocket batteries, when necessary.

The Charlemagne Heavy Cruiser is bristling with guns, primed and ready to unleash hell on the enemies of the Alliance. Crews are rightly proud of their positions on these ships knowing that often they are being relied upon to deal with an engagement as quickly as possible.

Loire Light Cruisers are at the forefront of Alliance Battlefleets and as such often the first to engage with the enemy. They provide screening and reconnaissance for the rest of the battlefleet and any commodore worth his salt will know how to make best use of any Loire's under their command.

Captains of Picardy Monitors understand their role to guard the rivers and waterways of Europe, and further afield, from invaders. While they may not be the most heavily armed of ships, they have the perfect balance of firepower and ability to operate in shallow waters. Crews are reminded that they are often the last line of defence for civilians and as such are assigned from recruits hailing from inland towns and cities. This ensures they understand what is truly at stake should an enemy vessel get past them and into Alliance territory.

Multiple squadrons of these stalwart craft accompany Alliance Battlefleets. Ecuyere can defend the flanks as well as grouping their attacks against key targets of opportunity.

The Oriflamme Battlefleet Set kit builds seven multi-part plastic and resin miniatures;

• 1x Oriflamme Battleship
• 2x Cruiser (can be built as either a Loire, Picardy, Chevalier or Charlemagne Class ship)
• 4x Ecuyere Frigate

The Izmir Monitor can often be seen supporting a Mehmed class, making sure that the great rivers and coastlines under the Sultans' protection are well defended. Assignment to an Izmir is often seen as a sideways promotion as the constant presence of a Grand Monitor can make a captain and his officers feel they have little chance to show initiative and that any orders they give their crew may be changed at a moment's notice.

When magnetic impeller advancements were acquired by the Sublime Porte for its navy, it was the Iskandar class that first bore the fruit of the development. Quickly these cruisers

have become the mainstay in the highly mobile Sultanate armada, particularly when partnered with Pasha class vessels. These Light Cruisers are often the first to attend a conflict, they are outfitted with extensive observation systems allowing any reconnaissance to be as detailed as possible. This helps the Iskanders and flagships be in the best position to bring their formidable weapons to bear.

Sadrazam Heavy Cruisers are the envy of the world's navies. Advanced Sultanate engineering, the match of even the Covenant of the Enlightened, combines speed and manoeuvrability with enhanced firepower to deadly effect. Regularly fitted with particle beamers, the sight of a squadron of Sadrazams on the horizon is often enough to shake the resolve of the bravest enemy Commodore.

Often seen as part of large battlefleets, the Temir Frigates are employed as flanking squadrons supporting Pasha or Izmir class warships. These frigates are sometimes tasked with engaging a secondary objective while the larger ships proceed with the main thrust of an attack.

The Sultanate Frontline Squadrons kit builds six multi-part plastic miniatures;

• 2x Cruiser (can be built as either a Iskandar, Izmir, Pasha or Sadrazam Class ship. Both cruisers can also be combined to build a Hurrem Grand Cruiser or a Mehmed Grand Monitor)
• 4x Temir Frigate
