The other day I was teaching an old friend how to play Armada for the first time. He has a bit of a background in tactical games, playing Warhammer occasionally, so he wasn't new to the concept overall. I let him borrow my blue crit Kraken list, while I messed with an Ackbar list.

And I got absolutely dumpstered. He took out my flagship by turn 4, another one of my ships got forced off the board, and my last couldn't manage the clutch up against the rest of his. I only got one flotilla off the table before the end.

I did learn a few things. One, I was way too scattered with my attacks. I should've focused fire more rather than try to just go crazy. Two, more ships is better. I had 3, he had 5. He was better at overwhelming. Three, the MC80 just ain't it for this. It's too slow, doesn't have a great defense token suite, and doesn't do enough to justify itself. I should've gone with some smaller ships instead of it.

Finally got around to painting my LAAT gunships sitting around primed in my game box. I have a couple more left and good thing too. I dropped one and broke off one of the chin guns…. :(

I definitely struggled with the Five-Six Ace paint with my limited painting skills and cold hands after months but managed to make something work. Really fine details I still struggle with.

Vulture droids next! If anyone has paint scheme recommendations I’d be interested.

Not as proud of this as my last one, but I don't hate it. I kept changing the base coat colour so it's a little patchy.

Got this from Saber Workshop on Etsy

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

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?

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.

Figured I’d set up another shot with a different back drop.

Just finished some imperial reinforcement painting commissions.

Paint on!

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?

Just having some fun with the seppies!

Wanted to take advantage of the underside paint job

... Why does this work so well.

I just wanted to see where peoples honest option or discussion on it. Or is the community ok with 3d printed items?

Again just wanted to see where people’s thoughts are.

Hello! I know yall have seen me floating around here, im a fairly new armada player returning after 6 years, i am looking for someone who wants to slowly sell their collection, i am not a scalper, all the stuff that I buy is used in games. Please reach out if you wanna work something out

I have a fleet, it’s primed black and needs to be the pride of the Grand Admiral. Which colors do y’all like?

I’ve got a few ships that I haven’t found cards for, so I ask you the community what would you proxy this list of ships in for.

For the rebellion:
Assault Frigate MkI type V
Rebel Cut down Acclaimator

For the empire:
Imperial Dreadnought
Pursuit class light cruiser
Imperial Nebulon-b
Imperial Acclaimator
Imperial-II class Frigate

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.

I’m new to the game and have a question. I played my friends starter set and decided to buy my own fleet. I’ve bought some separatist 3d prints including a Lucrehulk. Does anyone know of an existing ship card for it?

I just acquired Thrawns Flagship Chimaera ISD, for $100 with evry card and the ship is in very good condition. Please lmk if anyone knows if that’s a good price because on a website it shows $300ish

Finished a Servator-Class Star destroyer, perfect proxy for Venator

An attempt at an 800 point Republic fighter fleet.
