Armada - Starter Fleet - Rebels 

I've been waiting to get into Armada (mainly financial reasons) but I just found a starter box for $40 so I'm thinking it is time!

Glad to see more Armada content, love that you are doing starter builds to get more people playing and trying a lot of different ship types and flying styles.

I appreciate how you set something up that allows the player to try different mechanics within a single list then tailor to how they want to progress in the future. It made it a 'beginner list build' that as easier to grasp.

I was able to buy someone's collection of ships on ebay and I went from having no ships to almost all of them. I just need a few more like the starhawk and the SSD along with some fighters. I'm so excited for clone wars era ships. Keep making these helpful videos man! They're really really helpful to new players like me. And honestly I think you're going to get a lot of new players once clone wars ships are available

Hello,Good day. Checking on just basic starter things in General okay ,that cool star wars Armada.

Thanks for coming up with these cool introductory builds, Crabbok! I've always struggled to come up with simplistic builds for my friends who aren't familiar with the game.

I've been planning on getting into Armada for years. Bought the starter kit and the Mc80 but never actually played. This video may of pushed me over the edge to get me playing

This is eerily similar to my starter Rebel build when i was knew to the game. To preface, I am an Imperial player, but when i was getting into the game I was bargain hunting and all I had was a single Gladiator. I found a Core Set on Ebay for a very affordable price and the seller even added in an extra "Star Destroyer"! The Emperor was very pleased! I looked at the pictures, didn't really know what I was looking at but everything looked like it was there, and so i bought it. When the package finally arrived I was in for a HUGE surprise. The extra "Star Destroyer" was a second Gladiator! (an early favorite of mine) And the gift just kept on giving. Inside the alleged starter was also a second Nebulon, a second CR-90, and an Assault Frigate. Oh... and a Imp Squadron 2 pack... still shocked at how generous this person on E-Bay was... I guess they were just trying to get out of Armada or something. But now... being an Imperial Player, I had 3 ships! That I could actually field as a 400 point fleet with my fighters. And yet, I was now in ownership of FIVE Rebel ships. However, I fell in love with Mon Mothma, and only very recently realized what a powerhouse Dodonna is. TL:DR - Wanted to be an Empire player to play with space-triangles, but became a rebel player instead. (for a bit, lol)

I'm feeling a little better about Armada access as yesterday at my local game store I was able to buy the last Imperial Starfighter pack that I need to have individual squadrons for my entire Imperial and Rebel fleet capacity. They had a couple extras as well as Rebel Starfighter packs too.

Even though I've had Armada for a while, I haven't been able to play a proper 6x3 game. Hopefully that will change soon. This is a great resource for starting out.

Just made a few purchases, this was a helpful guide for how to expand and such.

great core set/ wave 1 build Tim! Thanks bud!

Hey Crabbok, being a new player, I really like you doing these fleet builds. If you could maybe consider making a new fleet video (and not necessarily for beginners only) like ~once a month, that'd be great!

It's fun looking at the names you have for fleets.

Crabbok, I'm really enjoying your Star Wars Armada videos, to the point that I have started building my own Armada fleet! So far the proud owner of a Core Set and an Onager (and a pre-ordered Profundity)

Just getting into Armada! The miniatures are what originally caught my attention, but I’m excited to join the community!

I still have nightmares of a Dodonna, Luke and multiple APT build. My poor SSD still shudders when it sees Dodonna.

Thanks for putting this together. Sadly still have not been able to get into Armada. Buying a new house here soon, so my disposable income is going to be scarce for a bit, so likely going to have to wait more. Still love to hear about this game which looks like a lot of fun.

Definitely a helpful starting spot, I've recently gotten into Armada and am super excited to expand my fleet!

Just ordered my Darth maul mask can’t wait for it to get here!

Another great vid for those just getting into the game like myself. Thanks mate

It is tricky but not impossible to get any ship, gotta wait for lower prices, thank you for the recommendations!!!

I've been thinking of starting armarda lately and your videos have given me some good advice to what sets I should get thanks

Armada looks kind of cool. Thanks for the vid!

Trying to figure out an easy build that can help an new player out when you don't own everything is tough. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for helping with the fleet building. Make it seem easy. Lol

Hey crabbok I have been thinking whether or not to get into Armada and this has really helped so thx

This will be my armada resource for the next game.. Although the 4 nebulon big gun fleet is intriguing. Just got a Pelta a month ago.

Another cool list help for me as I’m late to the party

Great video some good options there I hadn’t considered

Love all your stuff! Thank you for all that you do for the armada community

Thanks for doing this, excellent video! I'm going to try this load out tonight on some practice games.

I realy like the idea of starter builds, maybe we get some new players into armada before the clone wars finaly drop

Rebel Squadrons 1 and 2 are in stock on Asmodee’s website

Good fleet build

This was great. Thank you for taking availably into account.

Super helpful, Dodonna rules!

I was able to get the ships you outlined in your Imp starter list without much difficulty. The ISD was hardest, but got one near MSRP. You can also buy individual upgrade cards on eBay for not too big a daylight robbery (cheaper than the expansions for sure). So not sure why you got so much flak for that Imp list? But I do get supplies are scant, so appreciate your approach to this list. Thanks!

Very helpful video. Thank you.

Great list !

Late to the party with this one but yeah my fleet is 3 corvettes and 2 nebs but also got Han/Dash Y-Wings and A-Wings :)

Armada looks so damn fun.

Just got in the game and got the and this list builder idea helps so much especially your explanation. Keep it up 👍🏽

Great video! I like this fleet and its emphasis on the "earlier" upgrades

Thinking about getting in to armada. This gave me a good idea of what to get, thanks!

Awesome sauce! Love this game!

I relly like this build. I think it's praticularly beginner friendly, in my experience players learn the game much faster if their ships aren't filled with upgrades.

Yeah! Rebel Alliance for the win!

Thanks for reminding me of Yavaris, I've been wanting to run that with Luke and Nym as an experiment.

Just got back into the game!

I’m new to armada but Can you make more lists please not just core set lists tho I’m new but I have many other ships and I play online so I can anything on that

Oh yis nice one!!

Dodonna is a lot fun with XX 9, Ackbar is cast iron.

Its absolutely insane that fantasy flight wont restock these sets. I get COVID creates an issue, but this has been a problem for well over a year! I clearly remember not being able to get imperial fighters last June. Its frustrating to see them rolling out new legion stuff but neglecting armada

Thank you for seeing if we have very few ships we have very few upgrades!!

Appreciate these videos 👍 cheers

Such useful videos!

Wish there was a PC game of this, similar to Battlestar Galactica

Love it. And hate it. It’s a good intro into the dreaded Reikan and Yvaris build. Ugh. Lol but gotta teach them early I suppose.

Dodonna bombers is probably one of the most fun things in all of armada to fly with... so evil! And if you have Norra in there too, eviler!

This video was great! I was a bit critical before on your imperial video, mostly because it was called a “starter fleet”. I don’t think to be a starter it has to have only 1st or 2nd wave expansions. To me that means it includes the core set because you have to have that, and then 2-3 more expansions beyond that, so you only have to buy a small number of things to get started with a legit fleet. So I guess my question and challenge is, for a beginner, what is the best fleet you can make while buying the fewest number of expansions?

Interesting list that tries to introduce various game mechanics i suppose. I personnaly played only open games for begginners at the club but that list seems more ship heavy. I thought that new players temps to maximaze upgrades on their ships because they have only a few. It would be interesting if you try out to build begginner's fleet using ships and upgrades to get a decent build wich has few ships with interesting synergising upgrades. Also i like fighters but i do not understand how to run them in huge numbers when you have only 2 or 3 ships (in addition there are not their boxes now available as i heard). Anyway, hope that Clone War expansion will really drag me to Armada because i love this SW era so much.

I love it, back to basics. Makes me rethink fleet building. Is there a possibility you can make another batrep running your AI?

Wish I had the extra money go play armada :(

it would be pretty easy for ffg to make sequel armada because there are only like 3 ships per faction and they are basically remakes of the old trilogy ships.

It is a good fleet

Would it be worth it for FFG to have separate starter sets for Rebels and Imperial? It would be nice.

Is there a fleet building program that you can select the kits you have purchased so I know what I can build with what I have?

What objectives would you recommend for the list?

Nice👌🏽

I need to find people to play this lol, I bought 3 of every imperial ship, but only played twice. >

Have fighters come back into the meta? I know they were gone for a while.

Crabbok is god

CAN YOU CHECK OUT GOD OF PROPS THERE MANDALORIAN HELMET

Good build. Little pricey for me given I’m a college student. Lol

Great intro build, but the core set only comes with 4 x-wings :/

I REALLY HOPE I GET THE GIFT CARD!!!! So I can get either the Kit Fisto lightsaber OR the arc trooper pack

Does the victory count as a star destroyer for like cymoon

Please please FFG get those ships back up for sale

I refuse to use the assault Frigate purely because it's so ugly XD

Got to be honest Armada being so poorly supported by FF has all but killed it for me, which is a real shame.
