Hey all!

I wanna start with Armada and dont want to waste to much money. I dont have any models so far...

I defenitly want to play the Imperials and maybe wanna do some tournament gaming.

I played armada two times just to learn the basics.

I dont know much about the strenght and weeknesses of the empire or which objectives to choose?

Maybe u can help me a little bit building up a good list!?!

Here is my idea for starting the imperials:

[ EMPIRE FLEET (400 points)

Victory II-class Star Destroyer - Admiral Screed - Wulff Yularen - Gunnery Team - Enhanced Armament

Victory I-class Star Destroyer - Flight Controllers - Expanded Hangar Bay

Gladiator I-class Star Destroyer - Engine Techs - Assault Concussion Missiles - Demolisher

Major Rhymer TIE Bomber Squadron
3x TIE Bomber Squadron

Darth Vader TIE Advanced Squadron
3x TIE Advanced Squadron

Thank u very much...

Well if you want to save money here are some tips:

You will need:

X1 Core set

X1 ISD

X1 imperial fighter pack

X1 gladiator

Comes in really handy:

X1 VSD

X1 gladiator

Could use these extras:

+ X1 ISD

+ X1 imperial fighter pack

X1 raider

2 VSD and a gladiator would make a fine starter list. However, you will probably want an ISD. They cost around 50 bucks but can easily take up a third of your list and have the power to back it. VSDs are slow and to be honest really only shine as carriers unless your packing tractor beams. For recommendations to a starting imperial player i'd say start with what the ships are good at and go from there.

Sample list shell:

ISD II (127 pts)

- Electronic Countermeasures

VSD I (77 pts)

-Boosted Comms

GSD I (66 pts)

-Demolisher

Thats 269 points giving you 131 points to select your commander, a few upgrades and your fighter / bomber wing. All three ships have their arguably best upgrade. This is actually the same exact list i advised another new player about a week ago. Anyways hope this helps, take what you need from it and welcome aboard!
