Hello All, Just wondering, how big are all of your fleets? In points that is. My fleet has just got to 3000pts. It's Imperial and I have just finished my second battleship, an emperor. So what about everyone else? Cheers Chris |

My fleet is pretty new. I have still to complete it. I finally decided on the configs I am to be using. As it stands the fleet consists of the following. 1 Retaliator Grand Cruiser 295pts 1 Emperor Battleship 345 1 Retribution Battleship 365 1 Overlord Cruiser 235 1 Dominator 190 2 Mars Cruisers 340 2 Gothic Cruisers 360 Total pts: 2130 Pretty meager, I know. But, I am on my way.

Mine tops out at 5k inlcuding 3 battleships, 12 cruisers and 8 escort squadrons.... My friend has penchant for building multiple space hulks so to combat the unbelieveable sight of 3 hulks invading an Imperial system, the High Lords of Terra dispatched to Uberfllet- all the above plus my SM Fleet of 2 battlebarges and 6 strike cruisers. It was quite a battle and one that took place on a whopping 18ft x 18ft area with 8 planets! It was an inlikely sight and a battle of a size not usually seen. Thus you could say my fleet is unnecessarily large. Of course, I wouldn't...

I have a small Ork fleet (Long story): - Hulk (Friend sold it to me) - Hammer (Friend asked me to finish converting it) - x4 Brute Ramships (actually converted to be Epic Ork Bommas) - I borrowed the rest. I have a sizable Imperial Fleet (bought from a friend who needed money) (All painted): - x2 Battleships - x1 Space Station - x4-8 Cruisers - x2 Dauntless - x8-12 Escorts - I didn't count them to be exact. I just bought a Necron fleet (bought as leftover bitz): - x2 Battleships (Need a few bitz to finish them) - x4 Cruisers (x2 of each type) - x14 Bigger Escort (Maybe this is too many!) - x3 Smaller Escort - Some additional bitz to make Harvests, but too expensive to finish. I also have some plastic sprues from the boxed set and some extra plastic cruisers given to me for no reason whatsoever. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Some people use the old Battleships as Heavy transports, they fit the description and fit in well with the sizes of the other ships. Stormseer - 5000pts!!! Nice. I want to expand some more, I just finished my Emperor and want another!!! Cheers Chris |

It dosen't seem right to use the old ships as transports, they are too good a model to not be a war ship, except the Emperor... |

Yeah I have a SpaceFleet set and was wondering what to do with the Gothics..... The Eldar Wraithships are pretty cool models too.. They don't really fit with the newer Eldar ships though..

I loved the old Gothics and Ironclads. I also prefered the old Eldar ships to the newer ones. I am still regreting trading mine off. But, at the time I had no intention of going back to the game. If I can get ahold of some I will. The gothics and Ironclads could be used as light cruisers or heavy destroyers. |

Signius, I bought a ton of stuff (about $50.00 USD worth after the discount) today for you. I'll send you a list later. Shalom, Maksim. |

Centurion, I haven't heard of this one: aquila? What is that? I probably know but have forgotten. Cheers Chris |

No, I didn't.. Thanks CyberShadow, a great little article- I loved the fluff introduction, and the stats look pretty fair at a glance...  Has anyone played using these rules? -I am tempted to have a little game with my pair of Wraithships/Umbras against a few esorts or light cruisers to see how they fare in battle... PS- Is there anything similar planned for the Imperial ships, and indeed the Tyranid ones? |
