The Horizon Is Calling: New Adventures from Firelock Games

Ahoy, Firelock Faithful!

Firelock Games is coming up on our 10 year anniversary! It’s been an incredible journey so far, and we’re thrilled to give you a look at what’s coming over the next six months. We have some exciting news to share, including big news for Blood & Plunder and a brand-new game!

A Decade of Plunder: The 10-Year Anniversary!

Next year marks a huge milestone for us: the 10-year anniversary of our original Blood & Plunder Kickstarter! To celebrate, we’re launching our most exciting project yet, and it’s all about going back to our roots.

Blood & Plunder: Second Wave will feature a huge update to the original line, with 175 brand-new sculpts including all miniatures from our original kickstarter, plus more. These new miniatures will be done in our new high quality resin process featuring single piece models with incredible detail. But that’s not all! We’re also releasing a new expansion, Rise of the Buccaneers: Jamaica.

This expansion is the first in a series that will explore the early, gritty origins of the Caribbean buccaneers. It focuses on the English capture of Jamaica from the Spanish and the subsequent rise of Port Royal as a buccaneer stronghold. Look forward to new units, commanders, factions, and scenarios, along with some brand-new ships to add to your fleet!

This project is just the start—we have even more Blood & Plunder projects in the works for next year.

Introducing: Brigands of Årjå

For the first time ever, we’re stepping into the world of fantasy! Get ready for an all new adventure in our new warband skirmish game, Brigands of Årjå.

Brigands of Årjå is a warband skirmish game set in a world of sword & sorcery on a lost & hopeless island where players control warbands of 3-6 warriors that battle against opposing war bands, wandering monsters, and harsh elements.

Each warrior in a player’s war band is unique and their traits and equipment are fully customizable. No two war bands are alike! Once you’ve designed your band of brigands, choose an archetype for the leader of your Warband to round it out. Your leader can be a fearless, and brutal warlord, a cunning tactician, a radical zealot, or a powerful sorcerer. In either case, your leader is a powerful character that will have big impacts on how you play your war band.

Games of Brigands or Arja are fast, tactical, and always full of twists and surprises. The few remaining treasures to be found on Arja are often cursed, corrupted, or guarded by powerful monsters! Each time a character attempts to pillage these treasures, the outcome is never certain. Brigands of Arja features head to head, solo, and co-op style gameplay for 1-4 players.

The game is designed from the ground up around a fully featured campaign system. With each game taking less than an hour, and a quick and easy post game sequence, it is possible to play a full campaign in an afternoon or evening gaming session.

Brigands of Arja will launch on Kickstarter later this year. You can sign up HERE to be notified on launch.
