AMG revealed 12 new cards from wave 10 during yesterday's mini-stravaganza: 4 new commanders and 8 officers. There is no reason to think we'll be getting any more cards revealed now. So no titles or other juicy stuff. That's unfortunate but the 12 new cards should give the CW factions a lot of new options.

Armada Warlords has been updated with the latest spoilers so go build a winning list! 


A very Thrawn-like commander, only potentially even more flexible and powerful!


Have that Venator toss 7 (or 8) squads with a single squadron command. Ouch.


All ships start with shields. So you WILL GET extra dice. Then maybe hope he dies in round 5 or something 😅


Prediction: Plo Koon ARCs will be a thing.


Relieve pressure on that 1 redirect you have. Or redirect even when you don't have the luxury of redirecting. Cheap and decent.


Snipe is never wrong. Mass snipe is even better.


Great flexibility. Fun fact: he comes in the Pelta pack 😅


Assault is a thing now. Pretty good with those ARCs actually. Prediction: GAR will get the LAAT with printed Assault in their squadrons II pack.


Fro rounds 4-6 you will get an extra command dial of your choice. Pretty powerful in the endgame.


And yes he works with Hyperwave to increase the number you can activate.


Vultures with counter 3...


If you use him, Tikkes limits your command choices by a lot. But note the "may" so you CAN break the cycle. But on a ship that wants to spam 1 command, he's pretty neat.

Revised schedule

Signup deadline: Midnight (GMT), Friday, 19th March.
