Super-science populates the battlefield this month as the Enlightened’s merging of man and metal comes to Armoured Clash.

Cold, unfeeling constructs march onwards as the Enlightened are introduced into Armoured Clash this February. The Enlightened Faction Battlegroup Set and Introductory Set are perfect for those looking to harness the power of alien technology, with massive mechs and monstrous amalgamations striking fear into the heart of any opposing army.

Following last month’s introduction of Polish-Lithuanian units to Dystopian Wars, Commonwealth players can now add to their fleets with the Polish-Lithuanian Aerial Squadrons.

These new products are due to be released at the end of February 2025.

Armoured Clash

 When the outcome of a battle is at stake, morality is merely a suggestion. The Enlightened Faction Battlegroup - Starter Set and Introductory Set introduce the faction to Armoured Clash and are packed with constructs and machines ready to take orders mercilessly.

Enlightened Faction Battlegroup - Starter Set

The Enlightened Faction Battlegroup - Starter Set contains all you need to begin playing games of Armoured Clash, controlling a force for the Covenant of the Enlightened.

At its heart is a Wells Super-Heavy Surveyor, the perfect battle platform for an Enlightened Conservator to see the battle unfold and lead it to victory. Its weapon, torn from the heart of Wells Chasm, is unlike anything else seen on the battlefields of the Dystopian Age. All sane generals fear its power.

Citizen-Soldiers are recruited from all parts of the world. Wherever they may be mistreated, downtrodden or beyond the medical attention they need, the allure of the Enlightened’s professed equality can be hard to resist. As can the thought of the most advanced augmentations any Great Power has to offer.

Alongside them march Brute Enforcers and Wardens, each of them literally more than the sum of their parts. Marvels of the age, they are created from the finest of specimens and the best lab-grown parts. Their lack of intelligence is more than made up for by their strength and durability.

Even larger than these are the Heavy Construct Devastators. Multi-armed monstrosities pumped full of RJ-1027 and all manner of other chemicals and stimulants, they excel at causing havoc and crushing the enemies of the Covenant beneath their oversized boots. Hellion Cohorts hover overhead, eager for the opposing force to show weakness, waiting to strike from the heavens and tear already panicked infantry limb from limb.

Ranging ahead are often the Seeker Outrider Cohorts. Citizen-Soldiers whose wounds make them perfect applicants from the transformation from a walking creature to a wheeled one. Their legs are replaced with a single, gyro-stabalised wheel giving them almost unmatched speed for scouting and swift redeployment.

While an automaton can not be considered truly loyal, that doesn’t stop people from thinking that the K9 Gun Dog Packs might just be that. They never run from the fray and always follow orders, gatling guns and rocket pods firing as they do so.

The Mono and Strider CAVs are some of the more unusual parts of the Covenant warmachine. Altered even further than the average augmented person, these are the epitome of ‘more man than machine’.

The Mono CAV appears like an even bigger version of the Seeker, only the head and torso jutting out of a mechanism composed of a single wheel and hypervelocity rifles. They operate on graceful flocks, sweeping across the battlefield hypnotically.

The Strider CAV is a different beast, its four legs skittering towards its enemies ready to tear them asunder with as much malice as can be drawn from what’s left of the pilot, enhanced with as many combat drugs and fear suppressants as they can take.

Mars Battle Tripods tower above all, their particle beams wailing as they fire. Brave or reckless steersmen have been known to overcharge the beams to deal with particularly tough opponents where the wail becomes a deafening screech, often before some part of the tripod shuts down, unable to control the raw power contained within.

Europa Artillery Crawlers plod alongside, unleashing their payload with an unmistakable spiral of fire before repositioning themselves, ready for the next target. Racing through the air above them, Sickle Gyro CAVs swoop to wherever they are needed, their pilots immune to the adrenaline of such aerial acrobatics.

In addition to the models for your chosen faction, you will also find all the tools you need to play, from the immersive book of Core Rules to custom Attack Dice and a full Command & Conquest Deck of cards to help you perform daring gambits and score Victory Points to win the game.
