I've literally been watching all your videos on this debating on pulling the trigger. This pulled it. Please don't tell my wife. I like my freedom.

DO IT!!!! YEESSSS. You won't regret it, such an enjoyable game, and the models themselves need to be on a shelf. Maybe in your case in the garage in a corner....

I also just pulled the trigger and ordered the core set, and I was wanting to get the Chimera even before this, as I just read the Thrawn book.

@zacharyharwell351 3 года назад

My first experience with this game was like three days ago at one of my local game stores after school; two guys with 800 point lists that included an SSD on each side, Imps vs Imps. I have never been so excited about a game I knew nothing about lol

Hey, Crabbok my man, I got a video request. With the new sets just recently released I think a fair # of people (like me) are thinking of getting into Armada when we haven't been. So some vids that teach how to play Armada as a whole, using the new starter sets, and basic tactics, would be super cool. Love your vids btw.

@Shrackhyde 3 года назад

Thank you for the video! I love how you include "the cool factor" - for me, that was the big reason to get the Onagers and the Interdictors before the others.

@georgemcvay4572 3 года назад

Thank you for this wonderful guide. My parents watched it and it is helping them with shopping for me throughout the Christmas season.

@j-mlion3424 3 года назад

Just got this Onager this week! My Imperial fleet is finally fully equipped! I have one of each ship and multiples of the ones that I love. Only ship that I don't have yet pre clone wars is the Starhawk.

as a new player coming into this game very late with limited stock and budget, this is a very helpful video! Thanks Crabbok

@deathless_actual4936 3 года назад

Been watching a number of videos on this game looking to see if I’d be interested, and this one got me. Paused it half way to order the core set before finishing. Great video for the insight on the imperial ships. I don’t normally like the “bad guy” factions, but I love the Empire.

@thomaslilley9635 3 года назад

best list you’ve made so far and super helpful!

@davidjacovelli5986 Год назад

Thanks very much for tis video. As someone circling the Armada system and mulling over a purchase of it, I found it invaluable.

@hothmandon Год назад

As an adult, I would give the game a respectable try, but the kid in me wants to free play with the ships like Kenner or Micro Machines toys from the 90's. Back then, I had the micro machines Millennium Falcon, Xwing, and a snow speeder. That was it. I had to use the coffee table as capital ships, space stations, and land bases.

@indianajon7980 3 года назад

My fleet is getting an upgrade! Thanks for the advice as always. It certainly worked with your previous videos on the Onager.....love that ship! Merry Christmas

@nathanneugard6276 3 года назад

Friend, even if you have to take out a second mortgage on the house, SSD is absolutely worth it. Showroom quality "miniature" that's an absolute BLAST to fly!

@russianreaper7716 Год назад

Coming back to this about 8 months after getting into the game. I play Empire and my friend plays Rebels. I have to say I actually really enjoy using the Victory’s over any other Star destroyer for point restricted games and the campaigns. Like for rebellion in the rim my fleet consisted of 2 victory 2s and 2 Gladiators with 3 interceptor squadrons and it worked out better than it had any right too.

@deanbroadway3101 3 года назад

I really found this useful. Me and a friend are about to get into the game having just ordered core sets. It’s disappointing to see so much of the stuff that’s high up this list out of stock and “expected in the new few months” it’s really off putting as a new player. I’m hoping that the game is enjoyable with what we have.

@bernhardholmok9950 3 года назад

like the list. my two changes would be Chimera a bit further down since it has a non uniform paint job. understand it's a personal representation but still like uniform ships over custom. 2nd is gladiator a bit higher since that ability ( title card demolisher ) is unique and I have not seen many Imperial lists without it.

@linobeausejour4191 3 года назад

a good starting for 2 player casual would be : 2 core set + 2 pack of each faction squadron + rogue & villains add 2 small imperial ship and 1 large rebel.

@some_guy9347 3 года назад

I’ve been doing my best looking for ISDs and other great ships, but whenever I’m at my local store or on Amazon, all they have are Victories and Quasar Fires... therefore I have two Victory-class SDs and a Quasar Fire II. The Victory isn’t that bad tbh, sure it’s slow, but I love all the firepower it gets in the front. Sometimes I am able to kill a CR90 in a single salvo lol!

@Zhukov1898 3 года назад

@Captain-Jinn 3 года назад

Got the Core Set for $60 just yesterday. Can't wait to start playing! :)

@noahdoyle6780 Год назад

Late to the game (in many senses), but I'd advise that if you've got two players just learning the game, that two core sets, especially on sale, are a great deal. You've got enough cards to make things interesting, and the ship variants change things enough to make you learn some new tactics. And you'll have two VSDs, which you'll never need another one after that. Excellent list overall, very helpful - and the Chimaera was my first choice after the core set, because ISDs should all have awesome paint jobs.

@razerblade4981 2 года назад

Can you, for future videos like this, please include the price, amount of command tokens the ships have and the stats on amount of squadrons it can command, maintenance score and the other one, I can’t remember it I apologise. But I am very new to this and I thought that it would be very helpful to at least give the price and some stats of the ships and squadrons. Thank you for the video!

@lelouchbritannia5394 3 года назад

I haven't even gotten the core set yet but I saw the SSD and was like... mine. SO yes a must have and I will build a fleet around it.

@Metal4lunch 3 года назад

My first purchase beyond the starter was a second Victory Star Destroyer. This was 1.5 yr ago. I got it because I found it for $16. I almost bought two because it would basically be 2 for the price of one (as everywhere else was roughly $30) at that price, but I didn't. I still regret not going all in and getting two. I don't need a third and can't bring myself to buy one at full price now because I have no need for it. But boy, if I had it I would have and still been using it just for the LOLs.

@jonathanadamson6476 3 года назад

Armada does look like a lot of fun I gotta say :)

@DanY-mj4gl 2 года назад

a budget fleet: i might recommend 1-2 raiders 4-5 arquitens 2 victory class 1-2 gladiators 1 imperator/imperial star destroyer 1 imperial venator light star destroyer (optional) of course varies, since not all games have the same amt of points.

@reignman2263 3 года назад

Great list as always! The only thing I would even remotely debate (and I mean REMOTELY): the Upgrade Card Pack. Just for the sheer value for money factor, I'd put that at the very top of the list. I found one, and even with all the stuff I've bought over the life the game, I wanna get at least one more. That extremely minor nitpick aside, totally awesome list. .......and if Rule of Cool took precedence, the SSD would be at the top of my list too!

@Crabbok 3 года назад

Absolutely understandable - the only issue I have is you cannot field a 400 point fleet with the upgrade card pack and the core set - but with the Chimaera you can... hence the order. Still the upgrade card pack's value is incredible.

@reignman2263 3 года назад

@@Crabbok Good call on the 400 points, never thought of that part. AND keeping with the Rule of Cool, you could have Thrawn in your first 400-point build! THere's just something about dropping an ISD on the table ;). Yeah, with your Upgrade Pack opening video, I was going "ooooooooohhhh......ahhhhhhhh" through the whole dang thing!

@dougpopson5734 3 года назад

Could you do a updated starter list for both factions. Watched the older videos. Would be nice to have an 2021 starter list.

@Bazgatow87 3 года назад

Great video. I just bought the German Star Wars Armada Core set and in addition to that the German Imperial Fighter expansion as well as the English Chimaera. Now my question is, if I buy the German Upgrade Card Collection, can I literally transform the English Chimaera sets into a German one? I understand English pretty well but I prefer to have everything in my native language, especially for playing with my friends :) But there are more English sets available here.
