The Water Troops are one of the oldest, most influential armies, and recently they have reopened their doors. Today we will be looking over the history of the Water Troops, and discussing their return.

A ripple becomes a wave

The Water Troops were founded in November 2009, by Keano73. Over the years, we have seen thirteen generations of the Troops come and go, however, they are most known for their third generation. In 2010, the Masked Vikings, alongside WT, came together to form the Water Vikings. Their time on the original Club Penguin came to an end in 2016, in their tenth generation. In May 2020, army veteran Games brought the army into the community on Club Penguin Rewritten.

The last two generations of the army are quite notable, despite the twelfth generation being rather short. Under the command of Lukey, the Water Troops merged into the Tamales. Following the infamous closure of the Tamales, Lukey reopened Water Troops alongside TD999 in October 2020. This generation lasted until December, when Games closed the army.

The Drought is Over

On September 30, 2025, the Troops made their triumphant return, hosting their opening event, which had a max of 6. They registered with Club Penguin Armies the following day. Being led primarily by former WV Commanders and Legends, the Water troops wasted no time before getting into conflict, declaring war on the Special Weapons and Tactics. These leaders include Raven, Revan, Misty, and Hydro21.

To learn more about the exciting revival of this historic army, Club Penguin Armies contacted WT leader Raven for an exclusive interview.

WT is a very historic and influential army, could you describe the process of how this revival came about?

We were discussing reviving something with a few WV veterans, and Bryce suggested WT to us

Seeing as WT has not been around for quite some time, what do you hope to achieve with this new generation?

Honestly, the main goal is to war armies that dont deserve to exist, and obviously create an army that honors free speech and fun over the messy state that the community is in rn

You mentioned “armies that don’t deserve to exist” and “the messy state that the community is in”, could you elaborate on those points?

Our upcoming war will give you an answer to the first part of the question. To the second part, my response would be that currently 90% of the community is hypocrite and they all should deeply think about how they act.

You mentioned “our upcoming war”, would you like to give us any hints as to who you will be engaging in conflict with?

Its an army that should have been dead for a long time now 🙂

Evidently, the return of WT has and will continue to shake up the army scene. Who knows where the Troops will go following their war with SWAT. What do you think will happen? Who will renege victorious in their war? How will the return of one of the oldest armies impact the community?
