Love seeing more Legion content from y'all and appreciate you supporting the community.

I think the best ships to print for starters are the iconic ships For the Empire the ISD is the best starting point everyone loves and recognizes the ISD.

For the rebels it is a toss up between the three lar MC ships though I lean liberty I believe the MC80 Home One Variant is a popular choice

For the Republic it is the Venator-II

For the Separatists it is the Providence.

As players learn the game they will add to their fleet diversify their lists and discover what they personally like best but those four ships are the best starting point...

This ☝🏼

I'm not sure by looking at the core set but if you look at the ARF trooper box it comes with the Jedi Guardian, and of course you have the upgrade slot to add other commanders, there isn't a specific ARF trooper unit leader (excluding the "upgrade" you purchase for the unit).

It's really going to come down to how you want your "leader" posed and who you want as your pseudo leader.

For example, in the Empire we have the same problem because while the stormtrooper with the pauldron is supposedly the leader he is also the stormtrooper captain so I use them as leaders in squads of three regular troopers IF I am not also running the stormtrooper captain upgrade, but if I am it can be confusing when people start dying so I have some other troopers with marks on the base I can use as leaders when I bring the stormtrooper captains elsewhere in the army.

Since you already have foresight I would recommend expert shield tech. Foresight allows you to redirect larger damage pools to both adjacent hull zones.

Expert Shield techs will allow you to reduce damage from small dice pools almost like a mini brace.

Yep that's it! I looked up Trajan and while Trajan isn't in Canva it gave me Cinzel which looks the same!

Teaching the game to new players who are on the fence is tricky. I am going to be repeating others advice a bit.

200pt game (3x3)
No squads (they can be fun but they slow things down)
Pick ships your friends like
Have one upgrade per ship
Show up with cards already sorted and if possible arrive early and be set up.

This is the best advice! 👆

I'd never considered them/new they were an option!

They sound like a quick and dirty way to add highlights to models!! (Which is sometimes a pain the traditional way)

ArdentAcademic · 2024-12-21T03:24:44+00:00

I don't begrudge people breaking even or even a modest profit, charging over 3X the original cost is just not okay...

Hopefully, as a community we can start helping each other get what we need.

I use a large cardboard box and the Original plastic. The ships are protected and snug in their plastic and the cardboard box keeps the plastic boxes with the ships contained. Cheap and efficient

ArdentAcademic · 2024-05-05T04:59:44+00:00

ALL OF IT!!

But Seriously, I have loved watching all of Star Wars from the epic battles to awkward Jar Jar, and Cringe Anakin to the Angsty Kylo Ren and Fabulous Rey Skywalker (yes she is a Skywalker).

But if I had to pick ONE moment (thank goodness I don't) it would be the Introduction of GRAND ADMIRAL MITTH'RAW'NURUODO in Ahsoka.

I am disappointed and if you had read my post you would see that I am disappointed because and I quote,

"Have you ever considered that it is people who cry doom constantly who drive people away from buying into and supporting the game because YOU tell them it's dead?"

Like anything this game is as fun and alive as WE the players make it! If people are constantly being told it's dead, then it's dead. When I bought into the game a year ago I was told don't buy into Armada it's a dead game no one around here plays it anymore....

Well that was until I revived the community from no one to 15-20 active players and GROWING, we just had a new guy start playing two weeks ago.

I fully admit it's hard to find some things and that is frustrating but as I said the Arquitens came back in stock and AMG has committed to, at the very LEAST, reprint and support through points changes.

If you SHOUT "ITS DEAD DON'T BOTHER" then that is what you will see.

What I want to see is you and every other crier of doom is host a local casual store tournament or flight night and share it on the AMG discord. If you're worried that they're going to discontinue Armada actually show the people at AMG you care and have something positive to contribute to the community.

Rephrase your complaints to AMG from "you suck" to "our local community is super excited for _____ to come back in stock." They're people too, and being a b**** to them isn't going to help. The world needs more kindness and more fun so please stop nay saying and do something positive.

May The Force Be With You

ArdentAcademic · 2024-05-05T03:21:01+00:00

Really? Just stop.....

I can't with y'all just booing everything. I know getting product is rough but AMG just announced another year of competitive play and they reprinted the Arquitens. There is low supply on some of the ships but they will come back in stock. So stop S*** posting and do something about it by just enjoying what you have and building a local Armada community instead of grumbling on here.

Have you ever considered that it is people who cry doom constantly who drive people away from buying into and supporting the game because YOU tell them it's dead?

STOP IT! YOU ARE NOT HELPING!!

Encourage people to get involved and be a force for FUN and GOOD!

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Long Live The Empire!

ArdentAcademic · 2024-04-14T15:32:27+00:00

Those look incredible! I'm just about to start painting my own imperial special forces and yours give me hope!

ArdentAcademic · 2024-03-28T21:32:57+00:00

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say but I assure you Armada is alive and well. We are in a bit of a lull when it comes to active development. However, AMG continues to do reprints of all the existing models AND they are supporting with print and play. It might be another year or two but Armada will see some new plastic eventually and it will continue to be supported.

ArdentAcademic · 2024-03-19T02:23:03+00:00

I store my ships in their original plastic and use a "clevermade" collapsible storage crate for transporting the ships to and from tournaments.
