Firestrom Armada // Warcradle Studios

Firestorm Armada has been a long time coming and as the studio team has grown, Warcradle has begun to develop the game and give it the justice it deserves. The game is now in active development and whilst there is no exact date available just yet on when you'll be able to head back into the black ocean, it is on the cards.

From Warcradle Studios...

"Firestorm Armada takes the community to new heights, exploring brutal cinematic and combat in the galaxy’s most hazardous region of space. But what is this brand new setting? What is the story that Firestorm Armada will tell?"

Joining the Warcradle team will be highly acclaimed author Richard Morgan (creator of Altered Carbon), expanding the narrative for the Firestorm universe.

“Space Opera has always held a special place in my heart. Among the first Science Fiction I ever read were classic space opera tales like Poul Anderson’s Terran Empire sequence and Asimov’s Foundation novels.”

“In my earliest TV viewing, I watched enthralled as the USS Enterprise duelled Klingon battlecruisers and Romulan birds of prey. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion is an image burned deep into my consciousness and the DNA of my writing, for all that we never get to actually see it ourselves. So I’m delighted to be working with Warcradle Studios on a brand new Sci-Fi Tabletop Wargame - Firestorm Armada!”

Additionally, Robin Cruddace, previously senior developer for Warhammer 40,000, is taking the helm as Lead Games Developer for Firestorm Armada.

“Firestorm Armada is going to be amazing! I was super excited to be asked to take the helm of this great game, and I can’t wait to get started. I know players are eager to immerse themselves in this fantastic setting, and that they are waiting patiently to see everything Warcradle has been up to - we aim to not only meet, but exceed those expectations.”

As well as the new rules, you'll also be getting a new range of plastic miniatures with groups of destroyers, cruisers and battleships in insane detail. More will be revealed next year but Warcradle has said to be prepared for some of the BEST miniatures they have ever produced.
