Read on for information about the Overlord, Mars and Armageddon vessels. And turning up with 2 Torpedo Dauntless and 9 Cobra for a 500 point raid scenario is rather evil (Imagine something like the Raiders, first turn Torpedo Salvo. This guide goes over the weapons and statistics of the Imperial Navy Battle Cruiser ships in 'Battlefleet Gothic Armada II'. I could supplement it with an Emperor class Battleship, and if I ever gain the prospect of playing 3,000pt games I will, but for now having the ability to swap around the Escorts flanking my cruiser main line is pretty nice. I picked up a large part of it in a trade years ago. The Dauntless' are slightly higher performing than the other three, with a faster speed that matches the frigate escorts and heavy armor (83) on the prow of their ships. They are fragile of course but thats escorts for you.Īs for why my fleet is so escort heavy and Battleship light. The Light Cruisers of the Imperial Navy in Battlefleet Gothic Armada II are mostly the same as far as their stats go with two small exceptions. Three Swords and Two Firestorms is the formation I'm currently experimenting with, and the combined broadside firepower of a Tyrant and a Lunar isn't something to be overlooked (for a mere 185 points). The old standby is still the IN Old Guard build, with emphasis on forming up a deathball that closes in on the enemy while softening them up and disrupting formations via torpedoes and nova cannons before putting in the boot with massed medium-short-range broadside fire, while carriers are mostly relegated. I used to loathe Firestorms, but recently have started to find a place for them with mixed Sword and Firestorm squadrons. IN is by its very nature a very flexible force that can be tailored in most directions. I use the torpedo variants (they are just the models I ended up with) but I'm pretty sure the same would be true of the lances. Battlefleet Gothic is the Imperial Navys Battlefleet of the Gothic Sector of the Imperium.It is most famous for bearing the brunt of Abaddon the Despoilers Twelfth Black Crusade, also known as the Gothic War.

I agree about the pair of Dauntless', they are just a bit too fragile and ineffective by themselves.
