Having just gotten my wave 7 I have to say the Chimaera Expansion set is just chalk full of goodies. 3 copies of each of the new ISD variants (bases & ship cards) plus 2 copies of each upgrade card that isn't unique (2xHardened Bulheads, 2xEarly Warning Systems and 2x7th Fleet SD) and not to mention the new Gauntlet Squadrons. This is easily the most bang for your buck set FFG has ever released for Armada.

On the Rebel side you get an absolutely gorgeous model in the Profundity but you only get one copy of each new ship and upgrade card with the exception of Mon Cal Exodus Fleet. So those of us who plan to spam HIE or WAB will have to get multiple Profundity Expansions.

On behalf of this forum, how do you already have the goods? Please enlighten us, if you can.

I'm the artist who did the covers for the Chimaera and Profundity sets.

That was my suspicion, but I also had my hopes up.

Your art for the covers is great, among my favorites across the entire game.

Neat! It also raises the question of...

What exactly is that furthest-back Imperial ship?

The second (further) ISD. The Arquitens (according to my Mark 1 Eyeball) is somewhere aft of Chimaera's hangar bay, but forward of the other ISD by a large margin, regardless of whether or not the ship is the TCW length (barely larger than a CR90 if at all) or the Rebels length (closer to a Gladiator).

In other news, this is one of my desktop backgrounds, and now I know who to credit.

Thanks, I'm not used to seeing them straight on and a bit from the underneath. (and to @GiledPallaeon too)

So I grossly misread your question. I thought you were asking whether the Arq was in front of or behind the second ISD, not what the Arq was. And I can only recognize things like that because I have a photographic memory. Same reason I can tell this from this (and apparently for some people this) at most angles. (At some angles and sufficient distance it's impossible without some other reference).

For a side by side comparison, try this. One isn't actually the comparisons from before, but it's a clone that's close enough I don't care.

wow, gotta admit your art is pretty impressive. I really like the Warhammer 40k stuff. Too bad Conquest is no longer produced :S That cover really caught my attention when I walked in the game store.

I believe you also did my phone wallpaper of Thrawn with his arms crossed standing in front of Chimaera; along with the X-Wing art for Predator, Black One, and Poe. Props, man!

LOL just kidding here, thanks for the awesome artwork! Have you done work for any other expansions?

'Apart from his pay, which is considerable*, Wraith demanded only one thing: an early release for himself. Curious, isn't it?'

Your art is brilliant! Do you work on commission?

You da man. Also, you da man for super art on other older sets too.

Wanna show off your website again?

Your art is absolutely amazing!! Now I finally know who did that one of Thrawn with the Chimaera on the back, it’s stunning!

Im happy with the contents of the expansions too. My mate raised the question after I told him I preordered 1 Chimaera how Im gonna field a kuat and a cymoon same time if there is only one base. Well, thanks for the 3. Also, I strongly believe only the ace squad is 'meant' for tournament play, 2 of them is plenty. Got myself 2 mc75, I think thats the right ammount to have.
