A big new reveal from Warcradle Studios this week as they introduced the coming of the Sultanate to their 10mm miniature wargame, Armoured Clash. A brand new Faction Battlegroup is on the way, plus an Introductory Set and more.

Sultanate Faction Battlegroup // Armoured Clash

Kicking things off, we have the absolutely packed Sultanate Faction Battlegroup, which contains everything you need to start playing your games as the Sultanate in your games of Armoured Clash. You have some excellent, unique vehicles as well as fascinating troops that really showcase the aesthetic of the Sultanate.

Janissaries (Officer) // Armoured Clash

Starting with the infantry, you've got the likes of the Janissaries with their impressive hats, a stalwart core of your army that can lay down a fearsome volley using their Sarsilmaz rifles. If that wasn't cool enough, you've also got the impressive Persian Immortals who hark back to the deep lore behind the Sultanate.

There are also even more mysterious troops for you to call on with the addition of the Cor Caroli Nyx. They bring their deadly khopesh to the fighting and can dispatch both tanks and vehicles with ease, making them a great choice when building a Sultanate force.

It wouldn't be the resplendent ranks of the Sultanate without some cavalry and you get plenty with the addition of the Macedonian Companions too. They are going to be perfect for leading the charge on the back of their mechanical steeds.

If you'd prefer something a bit whackier, then you also have the excellent Sipahi Monowheels, which can be used alongside the Companions to plunge deep into the heart of the enemy and secure objectives before they know what has hit them! Super cool designs.

This also then brings me on to the impressive vehicles that the Sultanate have access to now they are taking to the battlefield of Armoured Clash. For example, you have the ultra Sci-Fi Ferik Command Skiffs, which will be hovering over the battlefield, taking control of the action whilst blowing away enemies with high-tech weaponry.

There is a good mixture of different designs for you to choose from, allowing you to customise your force with the weapons that you need for the threats that you'll be facing on the tabletop. All of this in plastic, so you can very quickly build your armies without any fuss.

More traditional-looking tanks are also in the mix for the Sultanate, even if they are still hovering around the battlefield. You have to show off if you're making your vehicles this cool. There are many, many more options available for the different vehicles in the release set, which you can see over on the blog HERE.

Another big boost for this set is that, yes, you will be getting plenty of Portal Markers in the set for your army to use when taking control of the battlefield. In a neat move from Warcradle, these are now available in transparent plastic rather than resin!

Take To The Skies

Sticking with the miniatures, you can also get the Sultanate's aircraft, the impressive Sabiha Fighter.

Sabiha Fighter // Armoured Clash

Designed by some of the greatest scientific minds that money can buy, the Sabiha has unmatched speed and Akrep cannons, which can shred enemy tanks or turn infantry into mulch. A squadron of these fighters can utterly brutalise the enemy with the right general utilising them.

Sultanate Command & Conquest Deck

Last but not least, you will also be able to get your themed Sultanate Command & Conquest Deck.

Sultanate Command & Conquest Deck // Armoured Clash

As with the other Command & Conquest Decks, this allows you to claim Conquests and score your Victory Points. It also allows you to issue your Commands, which could get you out of tight spaces when used wisely!

All of these miniatures will be making their way to the tabletop in December this year, so you've not got long to wait before you can dive in and get your Sultanate fix.
