Guest Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Although I don't intend to field it as such, the above totals to an easy 1200pts and is a legal Battle list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 That's a pretty nice fleet list you have! Can't wait to see what you do with them. I don't think I quite have 1200 points yet. I also don't have any of mine painted either. Probably going to be on my list for an Autumn project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't have any of mine painted either. Probably going to be on my list for an Autumn project. I can go over with excessive upgrading, especially given that most of the Aquan tier 1 ships have Wing Counts. But yeah, not a viable 1200pt army.

Guest Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Models arrived today. Updated the Original Post. Got the new rules. Looks like the Onanes heavy carrier occupies 2 slots, so my *1200* point list is not legal. Not a problem, but annoying. Got the rules for the Sulis Heavy Crusiers. Took me a bit, but it looks like that Energy Locus rule is going to be huge for the army. For list concepts, I'm planning to go SRS heavy. Looks like the Sulis can be taken as escorts for gunship squadrons, so I'll probably be picking up/proxying a few more of those. I got a peek at the TAC cards. My favorites are Evasive Manoeuvres (Aquan only) and Regroup. I'll need to find a third, but those are the favorites. -Evasive Manoeuvres: decreases odds enemy can destroy SRS tokens via dogfights or Point defense attacks. -Regroup allows like-named shipped to form up into squadrons if whittled down already. For these two to work, I need SRS tokens and to spam squadrons of like-named ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Okay, so few things/thoughts. 1) need to get a 500pt list for Stoobert's learn and play event at the end of the month. 2) Want to get that battle station + defense platform set. 3) Need more tier 3 ships.

Guest Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Finally had the battlestation+defense set on amazon (since GG never stocks it). So 500pts for that event Tier 1 Vortex Battlestation (+4" Command Distance, Minefields, 6 Fighters, 3 Interceptors) 240pts Tier 2 Shiva Gunship Squadron (2 Gunships, 1 Sulis Heavy Cruiser accompaniment) 220pts Tier 3 Chimaera Frigates (2) 40pts Total 500pts. So 6 ships and 9 SRS tokens at 500pts. Should be pretty strong, but questionably mobile. Sulis and "all power to the thrusters" should give me some flexibility. Amazon claims they'll arrive on the 23rd, so I'll get them at least base coated and washed by then. I'm thinking a metalic base coat followed by a dark green wash. That should get me an alien enough look for my Aquans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Nothing amazing, but I did paint them. Tier 1 Vortex Battlestation (+4" Command Distance, Minefields, 6 Fighters, 3 Interceptors) 240pts Tier 2 Shiva Gunship Squadron (2 Gunships, 1 Sulis Heavy Cruiser accompaniment) 220pts Tier 3 Chimaera Frigates (2) 40pts Total 500pts.

Guest Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 So one game against "andy." 500pts is not a fast game, we learned. Not sure how much of the game was luck, how much was me doing things right, or how much the opponent doing things wrong, but I did secure a victory. His army was "hawker" and we didn't do a mission at all, just tried to kill each other's fleet. My deployment zone included a planet, which greatly aided my battlestation. Andy focused fire on my gunships/suilis and my frigates early on, which left him unable to deal realistic damage to the battlestation in the end game. I lost no entire squadrons and the battlestation was undamaged, but the frigates and gunships were quite crippled by the end. Again, not sure how much was luck. List above was amended to include 3 bomber wings instead of 3 interceptors because I couldn't find my second painted SRS token, but did find my painted large SRS token. Those bombers proved impressive. In general, the battlestation may have been unfair at this point level, but again, I'm not sure of anything. Andy was an enjoyable opponent(Thank you).

Guest Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Spartan games released more ships and rules. http://www.spartangames.co.uk/wp/wp/wp-content/spartanimg/Firestorm_System_Wars_Supplement_Download_June_20152.pdf Basically, for normal ship battles, they added 2 MARs: Durable and Planetfall(x). Durable reduces damage by SRS tokens and Planetfall affects attacks on planets. Although its intended to work with planetfall, the Aquan ships (I don't care to look at the others) all have hardpoint options to remove the planetfall MAR, meaning we just gained 3 ship types for use in normal games. That would be Nectridea Class Carrier, Limulus Class Assault Cruiser, and Antiarchi Class Frigates. 1 new ship for each tier. So, notable stuff, we got: Frigates with shields and the drone mines MAR. An assault cruiser with double mines MAR and difficult target. And a difficult target carrier with Sulis escort option (sulis is that laser reflecting ship). Very happy with the frigate option. Carrier option is also nice so I can include more sulis ships in my force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 For the record, I did lose. Main issue was a sheer lack of good die rolling. Beyond that, I was rusty in rules and it showed both in list creation and in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
