With the official release of Beyond the Gates of Antares a few weeks ago, today we launch skirmish forces for the Algoryn, Boromites and Freeborn!
We have revised the previous army deals we had on offer throughout the beta testing stage – taking the opportunity to revise the content to bring them in line with the finalised ruleset.
Admittedly, we have sacrificed a couple of things – these army deals don't contain Order Dice, or a rulebook (where the old Army Deals contained the beta rulebook). However, we've countered this by cramming in as many models as we feasibly can!
These armies have been designed to offer a solid core force from which you can expand to your liking – we've suggested 8/9 Order Dice Army Lists around the 800-point mark for each one; however, they can be outfitted with additional equipment and Army Options – or could even be reconfigured to include less squads, with more models… so there is scope for personalization and list-tweaking…
All-in-all, we hope that you'll find these solid skirmish forces useful starting points to explore this brand-new sci-fi universe from the mind of industry legend Rick Priestley!
The Algoryn military is one of the most efficient and effective fighting forces in the entirety of Antarean space. The whole of Algoryn society is geared for war and survival in a hostile universe.

The Freeborn are the most diverse of the civilizations of Antarean space, comprising numerous different independent Houses or Vardos. Unlike the civilizations of the Concord and Isori, the Freeborn inhabit the depths of space. They live aboard spacefleets that include craft that are so large, their populations are greater than those of many worlds.
Different Vardos compete to control trade routes though Antarean space, to explore new sources of wealth, and to cultivate client worlds amongst the Determinate and broader Spill.
This deal comprises the following models:
- Freeborn Command Squad Blister – 3 men and 1 drone
- 1 x Feral (Mhagris) Squad Box – 6 men
- 2 x Vardanari Squad Box – 12 men and 2 drones
