Hi players,

I'm an X-Wing player who wants to start playing Armada, but cost is a problem for me (i.e. I don't have much money). Do you have any ideas/recommendations for getting started?

(I want to go Empire if possible-I love the Imperial capital ships)

Good choices for the Imperial-side would be the ISD, Gladiator and Arquitens, with fighters to round out your fleet. Check out some of the many Armada youtube posts and see what tickles your fancy.

Have lots of friends who play and borrow/use their models?

I would get:

Core Set

Imperial-class SD

Gladiator-class SD

Imperial Squadrons I

This will probably leave you short a couple of want-to-have upgrades, like Ordnance Experts, but it's a good, fun start. Maybe you have buddies you can borrow stuff from too?

Actually, @Crabbok has a really good video on it

also keep your eyes out on the secondary market. im all for supporting the local game store but there are some really good deals out there from people looking to cash out. You may also be able to trade other games for it as well.

I can check with the people I play X-wing with to see if any of them could help me get started.

Thanks for the advice, guys!

No problem! Welcome to Armada, even if you are going to be an Imperial
