fool_of_sound posted:It's a perfectly solid list. In fact, it's nearly identical to my list I don't see no battleship on your list  .In fact, I was debating either running CW Eldar or mixing them in as reserves to the Corsairs list. I might look into it, but not sure yet. If I fill out my list with more escort squadrons and/or split those current squadrons in half, I will be running a much more escort heavy list than you  .Also, I mentioned it after you replied, but the 2010 FAQ drops the price of Hellebores and Aconites by 10 each so, if it's applicable, that's 40 more points to spend.

Vulin posted:Here is my Dark Eldar list: By my understanding from previous posts you don't actually buy an Admiral in campaign games, you just start with a base one for your race. So you have another 150 points, but he's currently LD+0, 1 re-roll. Also you're a filthy, filthy liar, as you only have one variant of the Torture, but that's only proper for a DE player.

Necron Pros: Hard to kill (6+ armor all sides on every ship), VERY fast and maneuverable (All Ahead Full distance is d6 * 10 cm instead of 4d6 cm, with a turn every 20 cm), they hit hard, and each ship gets a save against damage. Necron Cons: No shields, no ordinance. Expensive ships that are hard to replace. Leadership lost from crits can't be repaired, so in a campaign you have to balance leadership gain from experience with losses from damage. Lances and assault shuttles are your worst nightmare. In a one on one fight, necrons tend to own most enemies because they can almost always All Ahead Full out of the way of ordinance, or into the rear arc of enemy capital ships. The loss of leadership from most crits means in a campaign, you need to play conservatively or you will rapidly be unable to do anything with your capital ships. That said, you will be crippling fleets left and right until you can't pass order tests to save your life.

Coward posted:Is it true that Necrons are boring and crap? If I had the time currently to be able to get in on this I was looking at Necrons, but not if they're a boring side. Necrons are boring and either broken or near-broken depending on who you ask. The Imperial Navy (and related factions), Tau, and Eldar are almost incapable of fighting them, since they neutralize most or all of their advantages. Chaos and Orks fare better, but still are likely to take really heavy damage unless the Necron player is a complete fuckup. Tyranids and Space Marines are the only factions that can fight them on more-or-less equal grounds, and even then that's only if the Necron player is a good sport and didn't bring double or triple battleships. I'd suggest a Chaos Space Marine list if you want something that plays pretty similar without being so boring and awful. They're not quiet as tanky or fast, but they're vicious in close combat. Slaanesh and Khorne in particular are very good.

 New campaign map! Imperial players start on any sub-sector capital (any planet with a Primus in the name), except Admech, who can choose to start on a forge world. Tau, Tyranid, and Ork players start at a border system of their choice. Eldar and Dark Eldar players choose any system to host a Webway gate (counts as pirate base). Necron players start on any uninhabited world. Chaos players can choose to start on any border world or the Acheron Rift. Acheron Rift A minor but stable warp rift. Chaos, Ork and Dark Eldar players can jump to and from it as though direct jumping from a normal system. All other races treat it as jumping to or from a system engulfed by a warpstorm. Further, Chaos, Ork and Dark Eldar players treat it as a Forge World; all others treat it as uninhabited (Imperial players get the bonus as normal; occupying a den of scum and villainy is good for sector commerce). Also, I'd like to ask two things from people. One, do you want a new thread for the campaign proper? And two, can everyone post their timezones? I am GMT+1.

I'm GMT + 6 (US Central Time Zone). After thinking about it a bit this morning if most of the guys playing are UK/Euro guys then its going to be incredibly hard to get games in with me. Realistically the only times I'll be able to play them is Saturday or early Sunday. Weekdays are out because I work and have other obligations. Hopefully there is enough US goons doing this that it won't be a big deal, but what happens if me and say some UK goon are in the same spot but just can't schedule a game with each other?

US Eastern(GMT -6) here. Should generally be available starting in the early evening during the week, or during the day on Sunday. Earlier during the week might be possible for the time being too. Saturdays are irregular and I'd need to know well beforehand. Since I've not used VASSAL or played BFG before, will probably want to get some practice games in first. Should be on #battlefleetgothic tonight if someone wants to arrange something. Maybe either Cruiser Clash or just an open game with cruisers and escorts?
