with the upgrade card pack out now I would love to see a remake of this considering that, basically which ships should we consider getting multiples of
This is exactly the video I needed. I've been playing for a while, and just finished collecting one of everything. I picked up the CR-90 expansion for Jaina's Light, which I thought was worth it. I wasn't sure about what to get next. Thank you for making this video!
After the announcement of no planned expansions for Armada, I would like to see an updated video for 2021 (at least for Rebel/Empire not Clone Wars). I realize the upgrade card collection makes buying multiple ships not as necessary. Does it now make sense to buy multiple upgrade card packs? If so, for which cards?
Honestly, I really hope armada does card packs, so you don’t have to invest as much for some cards. If I worked at FFG, I would sell card packs at different rarity’s , and prices would vary on that rarity.
I agree except for your opinion on the nebulon. If you add ackbar and con. fire plus xi7s you can throw out a lot of damage. I have tried it and it is great.
Victory's are pretty strong carriers. 2-3 with a strong squadron presence equipped with Flight Controllers make even lowly Tie squadrons punch above their weight.
Love you videos! Don’t know if you have checked these guys podcast on sound cloud but they are great. But you can’t listen to it with kids around 😀. They are called “The Outer Rim Job”. Fun and informative Armada podcast.
I never bother to get duplicates, for one FFG seem to do repaints of most of the models, (maybe not Armada yet but definitly X-Wing) as for cards I don’t play tournament so proxy is fine. One exception is the base ships, since those came with new cards.
The Bear with Armada there isn't as much need for repaints. Big ships largely look fairly similar. Honestly, the only repaint I can think of that they could do is, a Phoenix Squadron(Phoenix Nest?) Quasar-fire for Rebels, also it's the only big ship we see stolen by Rebels from the Imperials. Not sure if FFG is willing to give us ships that are dual faction just yet. I mean, I know I'd buy one. But with Armada's slower release schedule, I'm not sure how long it will take before they're willing to do more repaints for Armada.... ooh... Crimson Victory's...
Errrr, the majority of the Rebel Alliance fleet are stolen Imperial vessels. For an example, there are more than 20x more Nebulon-B Frigates in Imperial Navy service than in Rebel Alliance service.
If you've never played, I'd recommend one to see if you like the game, maybe a few of the expansions that seem cool, that way you have ships you want to try to fly, and if you find you can't stand the game, you still have some cool models of your favorite ships. If you enjoy the game and it's still on sale, go for two then, that way you get a lot of squadrons, upgrades and extra parts, even if the ships themselves are... eh.
Thrindal I'm not going to duplicate the Chimaera since I duplicated my ISDs, and I really don't see the need for four of them(storage issues), but I probably will get another Profundity. Not sure about the Phoenix yet.
I have 2 ISD and now bought Chimaera expansion pack. Chimaera comes with extra ship cards so I can convert my regular ISDs to Kuat refit or Cymoon refit. So theoretically at a 400 point game I can play with 3 ISDs but I guess that would be just for fun as ( with 332 pointed allocated to ships there will not be much points left for any useful upgrades or squadrons) . So should I try to sell one my ISDs or wait to game to increase to a 500 or 600 point game? Also for Rogues and Villians, you said you have 5 sets of them. So at a game can you play with a Millenium Falcon and 4 YT-1300s?
hey, I am interested in the models and not the game. What quality are they? Can I just get a model and sell off some cards I dunno? I just want some cool fuckin ships.
Parker McClintock that will never happen. From a marketing standpoint that would be stupid. FFG wants to make money first. Limiting only one ship of each kind would reduce there sales drastically.
Sadly the exclusivity of upgrades in Armada is disgusting. FFG needs to work on re-printing cards, especially across the faction aisle, and giving more than a single instance. ...Rant done. Just missing a lot of key cards as an Imperial only.
Yeah, I also despise the notion that I somehow NEED to buy a ship I don't want just to get a card or two. I'm stubborn and not interested in the tournament scene but a lot of people are buying ships that may not even get fully unboxed just to stay competitive.
My friendly "local" game store is a 2 hour round trip from where I live. I'm not as bad off as many people but it's hardly economical. In communities like these, everything is done locally on an informal level (we're lucky to even find other players) which means we're at the mercy of the aforementioned shady practices.

Love to see a new video as it's been 6 years since this one and things have changed. Great content!

Finally an armada video... It's been awhile

You mean Pokémon card style where it’s random or like “Profundity Expansion Card Pack”
Sort of like Pokémon but there will also be certain card packs for certain ships
@@jacksonyoung9731 lo and behold FFG are releasing a huge upgrade card box
What should you say now in 2019 leading into 2020
invest in zoom
Ike Schell and take out all your stocks
I agree except for your opinion on the nebulon. If you add ackbar and con. fire plus xi7s you can throw out a lot of damage. I have tried it and it is great.
Could you do a build with the MC80 Liberty Battle Cruiser, CR90 Corvette, EF76 Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, and GR-75 Combat retrofit?
is there comming an upgrade for this video soon/at some point? we need it!!! :D
Would love to see this video revisited in 2022!
I love Armada!!
My bank account:No You Don’t!
What abou duplicates for X-Wing? Can you do a video on that. It would be great!! Thanks!
My predictions for top 5...
Squadrons
Squadrons
Squadrons
Squadrons
Squadrons
As it should be.
This is the way
Would you please do a victory class sd build that has more than one. Maybe with a bunch of squadrons or whatever you think will make them competitive.
Victory's are pretty strong carriers. 2-3 with a strong squadron presence equipped with Flight Controllers make even lowly Tie squadrons punch above their weight.
Brian Henry also include Howlrunner, the 3dice TIE's then use 5dice.
You can only find the imperial light cruiser on fantasy flight website

Personally, the mc30 is my favorite rebel ship
I don't play Armada because I'm too invested in X-Wing but your videos make me want to play.
Might have to get another Vic star destroyer expansion sometime soon. Still need to pick up a second interdictor.
I really wanna get a second Chimaera because all the regular ISDs online aren't in english and on eBay they are like 70-90 dollars.
And what about core set? worth to get 2? in my place they are on sale for about 50$. Looks good to me
I got two on sale
Duplicates and extra dice were nice

They do sell extra dice and movement tokens, if that's what you're worried about.
IMO I feel like getting the neb b expansion pack is so you can get x17s and better titles for the neb b
What’s an aces pack @crabbok?
Would it be worthwhile to make a video about the best cross faction purchases for one faction focused players for the upgrade cards?
Nice video, I have basically 1 of each of the wave 5-7s and was looking to possibly expand.
Just what I needed. Thanks Crabby!
had to do a double take. I'm wearing the same shirt
Why did wave 7 help the pelta?
Intensify fire for one.
Oh yeah that does help it
Is it wrong I have duplicates of everything except Phoenix Home, Profundity, and Chimera? And the Profundity I will probably get a duplicate of soon.
Thrindal I'm not going to duplicate the Chimaera since I duplicated my ISDs, and I really don't see the need for four of them(storage issues), but I probably will get another Profundity. Not sure about the Phoenix yet.
Inigo Montoya I forgot I also don't have a duplicate of the Interdictor either.
What about two ssd
Another great breakdown!
Wow! I just asked you today about it! Thanks man!
I have 2 ISD and now bought Chimaera expansion pack. Chimaera comes with extra ship cards so I can convert my regular ISDs to Kuat refit or Cymoon refit. So theoretically at a 400 point game I can play with 3 ISDs but I guess that would be just for fun as ( with 332 pointed allocated to ships there will not be much points left for any useful upgrades or squadrons) .
So should I try to sell one my ISDs or wait to game to increase to a 500 or 600 point game?
Also for Rogues and Villians, you said you have 5 sets of them. So at a game can you play with a Millenium Falcon and 4 YT-1300s?
Absolutely you can run the Millenium Falcon and four generic YT 1300s.
Does this mean we're gonna get that Rogues and Villians breakdown now?;)
I just buy two of all Imperial ships except for Chimara because I hate the paint job.
You're literally the first person I've heard say that.
Yeah, I'm not a massive fan of it either.
#1 should absolutely be a floatilla.
hey, I am interested in the models and not the game. What quality are they? Can I just get a model and sell off some cards I dunno? I just want some cool fuckin ships.
Info study 📖 things game how and how it works thanks,
I have that same shirt :)
How dare you! The Raider is awesome! Look at it! The rules don't support the awesomeness of the Raider, which is horrible....
Hi
You might need to be careful the way ffg is going it might tune out that they will errata and you can only have 1 of every ship
Parker McClintock Nah, flotillas were a special case, and maybe a slight overreaction what with the relay nerf
Parker McClintock that will never happen. From a marketing standpoint that would be stupid. FFG wants to make money first. Limiting only one ship of each kind would reduce there sales drastically.
Sadly the exclusivity of upgrades in Armada is disgusting. FFG needs to work on re-printing cards, especially across the faction aisle, and giving more than a single instance. ...Rant done. Just missing a lot of key cards as an Imperial only.
Yeah, I also despise the notion that I somehow NEED to buy a ship I don't want just to get a card or two. I'm stubborn and not interested in the tournament scene but a lot of people are buying ships that may not even get fully unboxed just to stay competitive.
Some of these are available as participation rewards for events and tournaments. Check your FLGS if they can run an Armada event.
