Grab Your Factions For Firelock Games’ Port Royal Skirmish Game
June 19, 2025 by brennon
Firelock Games has made a range of Faction Boxes available recently for those wanting to dive into games of Port Royal, Firelock's piratical skirmish game. You can grab a whole host of new sets, which will get you started in the game.
Forces of the Crown // Firelock Games
Each of the different sets from Firelock Games comes with a collection of six plastic resin figures in 28mm scale, covering the different factions that you can throw into the ruined Port Royal, which is reeling from a recent earthquake. Make the most of it and get yourself some good loot before the powers that be come and close you down!

French Buccaneers // Firelock Games
If you already have some of the miniatures from Port Royal then as a bonus, these sets also come with a unique figure for each faction and you'll see a thematic Plunder Token which you can use to make sure that you're hunting down the loot that means the most to you!
Spanish Guarda Costa // Firelock Games
Jamaican Pirates // Firelock Games
I think that my favourite of the sets has to be the Jamaican Pirates, who look like they are having the best time. They look like a proper gaggle of lads who are revelling in the chaos currently unfolding in Port Royal, and they won't matter if a few of them catch a cutlass or bullet!
Maroons // Firelock Games
Carib Raiders // Firelock Games
Port Royal doesn't just cover the European factions who have been warring over this corner of the world for years. It also covers the native people who have decided that enough is enough and it's time to get stuck in and claim back some of what was once theirs.
Port Royal is definitely worth checking out if you're into pirate wargaming with a twist. Rather than the larger crews found in Blood & Plunder, you can instead grab a handful of miniatures and a bunch of terrain and have some fun seeing if you can make a name for yourself.
Summer of Plunder
Maybe you could dive into such skirmishes as part of the Summer of Plunder run by Blood & Pigment?
Summer of Plunder // Firelock Games
Blood & Pigment's worldwide campaign runs throughout June, July and August and features plenty of prizes and more for those taking part. You can side with one of the factions/nations and play games of Blood & Plunder, Oak & Iron or Port Royal to see if you can claim victory.
Additionally, you can also get a free Summer of Plunder miniature if you spend over $100 on the Firelock Games webstore. You can find out more about Summer of Plunder HERE to see how it's all going!

"Port Royal is definitely worth checking out if you're into pirate wargaming with a twist..."
The French objective/loot/whatever marker is the best by a mile. If I got into this I’d get them and call them Spanish.
I’ve been thinking about getting this Port Royal game. The minis look great!
When I first encountered thimbles game, I didn’t expect it to be so addictive. Simple mechanics, but the game requires concentration and quick reactions. A great way to pass the time and have fun without unnecessary hassle. It’s especially great that the rounds go quickly, and you can immediately move on to the next one without losing the rhythm. Now this is one of those games that I come back to again and again.
