Finished a commission for Assault Frigate Mark I Type 5. Most important thing is, that the customer is satisfied with the result.

It's not a core model but it's still awesome and can be used as a proxy for Assault Frigate Mark II

Question Linked Turbolaser Towers change

2 Upvotes

Building a rebel fleet for the first time in a while using ryan kingston's website when i noticed turbolaser towers got changed. My question is, how is it supposed to work now with rebel/empire ships, since none of them have the tags that the clone wars ships have? Do i just ignore it and stick to how it used to be?

List Building Need some advice on a Grievous list

3 Upvotes

I've always kinda struggled with making a CIS Squadron list, mainly because I never feel like I have enough going on, so I wanted to try something with Grievous and wanted feedback

Assault: Precision Strike

Defense: Asteroid Tactics

Navigation: Superior Positions

Providence-class Dreadnought (97)

• General Grievous (20)

• TI-99 (4)

• Flight Controllers (6)

• Boosted Comms (4)

• External Racks (4)

• Point Defense Ion Cannons (6)

• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)

• Enhanced Armament (10)

• Invisible Hand (8) = 166 Points

Munificent-class Comms Frigate (70)

• Tikkes (2)

• Fighter Coordination Team (3)

• Boosted Comms (4)

• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)

• Point Defense Ion Cannons (6)

• Sa Nalaor (5)

= 97 Points

Squadrons:

• DBS-404 - Hyena-class Droid Bomber Squadron (17)

• DIS-T81 - Droid Tri-Fighter Squadron (17)

• Jango Fett - Slave I (22)

• Wat Tambor - Belbullab-22 Starfighter Squadron (18)

• 2 x Droid Tri-Fighter Squadron (22)

• 2 x Hyena-class Droid Bomber Squadron (22)

• 2 x Vulture-class Droid Fighter Squadron (16)

= 134 Points

Total Points: 397

The hope is there's enough fodder in there to protect my aces, and recharge the defense tokens of anything that needs them (the vulture droids are there mostly to be meat shields). And enough actually useful stuff to destroy stuff.

Question Recreating Starter Set with only Rebel ships?

7 Upvotes

A friend of mine really wants to try out Armada and I thought about just playing with the base set to ease him into the game. However, I only own a Rebel fleet (another friend collected the Empire's ships).

What do you think is the best substitute for the Victory-class from the starter set? An Assault Frigate has rougly the same point costs, but is quicker and has less hull. An MC80 is as slow and sturdy as a Victory-class, but way more expensive.

And for the TIEs, would you chose the Z-95 or rather some A-wings?

Battle Report Following the traumatic house move that saw several of my Armada ships damaged I have now managed 2 complete games in 2 weeks, which I don't think I've done since the pandemic.

Thumbnail

224 Upvotes

Once again I have failed to capture the stages of the fight, but Imperial victory following some dumb manoeuvres by me to help train up another friend (honest). He took out my Providence and Gonzos but my reliable Hyenas managed to dog one of his Gladiators until it was dead so it wasn't the tabling it could have been.

To make up for the lack of battle pics here is my fleet in its new home, several hours of patient gluing has got them all fixed (though some are permanently fixed to their stands now).

Also bonus cat. Her predecessor was a very chatty boy Siamese who would sit on the table and watch us play and never ever disrupted the models, she is not yet convinced by Armada, but did come in and shout at us at one point, possibly for being nerds.

Just a goofy question I would say, ive been thinking about the possibility of using the Midi Scale Lego Executor in a game instead of buying an official SSD, would it be possible?

Collection First battle since a traumatic house move, Ozzel v Dodonna.

Thumbnail
gallery
152 Upvotes

Sadly no battle breakdown as it was just a training game for a new player friend. A (Heavily assisted) Rebel victory for Dodonna.

Had a very difficult house move, and about 13 ships got some kind of damage. Got my Muni, Hardcell and one of the damaged Hammerheads back in action and had 3 spare CR90s models hanging around from homebrew experiments. Ordered a new Nebulon B (i feel at least one of the model types should be shop ready) and am going to have fun with magnets and 3D prints over the next few months.

I can't really know how Roosevelt felt after Pearl Harbour, but I bet he said "for f*cks sake!" As well.
