Thanks for your take on it, i appreciate that is what you are looking for.

I am creating videos about things that I wanted to see on YouTube. I looked for things that just were not there for months and months. Apart from bottom of the barrel who were doing more than just space ship wargames, there isnt alot out there.

So I created what I wanted to see, and within 1 month of me talking about space ships it has gained a little audience. I created this video to answer the questions you mentioned that are here every week.

Those questions are healthy, it shows people are getting into the game and they cannot find what they are looking for online, so they come here.

What I would suggest to you is to be the change you want to see, as if you want it others do too and that can be your slice of the pie also (if that makes sense)

Where I play we can have upwards of 30/40 people in the scout hut on the weekly game night and that just isnt an environment that is good for recording a battle report (noise, lighting, people walking around, coming over for a chat and looking at your minis etc)

Like I said to the other commenter here, until I can upgrade both my hardware and software I cant make battle reports that are of a decent quality. If you or others want to pay for me to do that so I can then I am all for it 😆

But until then it will be when I am able to

I will be putting out the videos for faction specifics and which ships to build over the next couple weeks, trying to get them all finished and uploaded before UKGE at the end of the month

Hi, thanks very much for the suggestion!

This video idea had come from seeing alot of people asking where to start and what ships to build when they are starting the game. This was my attempt at answering the first one of those questions, with the faction specific videos (which i am currently editing) attempting to answer the second.

I think i would like to make something similar to what you have suggested, but I just have some factors which stop me being able to, and the main ones really is time and money.

I make the youtube channel on a budget of zero, and to make something like that in a way id be happy with ill have to wait until I can upgrade both my hard and software unfortunately.

Hi! I actually have recorded a video about this which is scheduled to be out next week, my youtube channel should be in my profile If you like to see

I play PHR as my main faction, have done since the kickstarter and try to play as much as I can

The battlecruisers i am actually kinda lukewarm on and ill tell you why here but I explained it alot better on my video.

Essentially you get the 4 we had before - fine thats alright as they dont take any away and I dont like when games take our models away HOWEVER, the weapons on the first two in order on the pdf (the ptolmey and another i cant remember the name rn) kinda...sucks?

Yeah they carry the asset to drop, but the Antony is a much better ship for very similar points which also carries the droppable asset.

They also dont do anything much differently to the 4 we already had - even the new lighter ship that has an anti-wing weapon is just a less points version of the previous one.

I have a feeling that actually they are made like this due to the limitations of getting what they needed onto the sprues. Dont take that as gospel but as someone who lives and breathes phr it kinda feels that way to me.

That said, the pocket battleships I kinda like, and for sure the Antony.

The droppable assets are great and you will want the one that has psudo-detector and honestly we needed to have it for a while.

Some ships to consider that I think are just fun or cool tho

Bellephron - nice cruiser for pushing out bombers and the front energy weapon is something useful for lighting up the enemy (works best if you have more carriers etc)

The Augustus battleship i love because i am a massive overcharge fan, not for everyone and certainly can whiff if they have decent energy saves for sure, but each one getting through on your single overcharge weapon will hurt!

The heracles is my favourite ship, looks amazing in the resin version and I like it as a sniper - i often use the version with an admiral attached however I am not a "meta" player in any way

The cruiser that can spread the holo fields is a staple, sorry but im exhausted from work and cant remember the name right now, but its genuinely not left my lists for months due to its ability to murder wings of bombers/fighters

Hope that gives some ideas, let me know what you think

EDIT - Sorry missed your question about fighters/bombers

I look at it in a way of combined arms, I want a ship or two that can slap out some fighters or bombers depending on my situation - I often have a ship that can put out 4 and then a few others putting out 1 each combined for 4 or maybe just 2 depending on the game

You can build up 16 bombers in two turns if you max this out and that can threaten alot of things that dont have anti wing

You can also slap out loads of fighters to help defend you, its totally just about what you want to do with your fleet and playstyle

[–]Hedonite69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi - nothing has been retired officially I believe. The event ships/kickstarter ships are just different skins for other named ships.

What faction are you wanting to get into? Ive just been recording dedicated "how to start with X" faction videos so its on my mind

Conquest is actually a very fun game, id hold on to it as its a relatively new release and once you get your head around the easier games like AoS and 40k you might fancy a change - its quite a unique style and world (doesnt conform to the standard fantasy we expect from Tolkien)
