I'm not a native english speaker, but I'm pretty sure it's incorrect. Casters tend to say really weird things. Artosis always describes situations as "lost all his roaches has (player name x)", which is just silly :/

I don't think it's technically incorrect, but it does mean the same thing as "X's army" or "X's units" etc.

Native speaker here; never in my education has anyone said that that construction was incorrect.
Though I never really did get that deep into grammar in school. Thanks, Canada.

Also a matter of style. Unconventional, but not wrong to my knowledge. It's fairly common in spoken language, and you'll see it in written dialogue sometimes.
