Dann wollen wir doch auch mal hier anfangen.


Die Marauders Regeln wurden aktuallisiert:
The Marauders Rebuild
The Storm Zone is ALWAYS busy. A maelstrom of war and villainy, invasion and expansion. And within this we have the Marauders, the space age equivalent of pirates of old. With Firestorm Armada 2.0 we improved a host of things for the core fleets and alliance nations, and we then turned our attention to the Marauder models and statistics.
We can now re-visit the Marauders sometime after the events of the supplement where they were first introduced. The tides of war involving these inhabitants of the Rift have altered the state of affairs in the region (see the original Marauders of the Rift supplement for details) – new alliances have been forged, and the Rift factions are now pushing their way into the wider Storm Zone.
The Syndicate have moved to completely control the former Rift Traders League, bringing it closer to the Terran Alliance. This has been aided by the presumptive loss of the singular Supermax-89 whilst on Syndicate enforcement duties in the Rift. Nevertheless, their new-found bonds with the Terrans have given them access to several old Reformer-class stations…
OmniDyne, on the other hand, has increasingly solicited the Corsairs aid to further its aims in the Rift and beyond, tying them to its corporate yolk with weapons, munitions and easy plunder.
You may be wondering why we combined the former factions in this way. The answer is that we wanted to ensure that existing models still had a place in our games, but as a part of more rounded fleets with simpler build options. Moving forward we will be releasing Patrol Fleet compliant versions of key Marauder factions.
We also looked to make sure the Marauders fitted into the background of the wider FA galaxy and were given more of an identity. Consolidating and allying them with the existing Zenian League and Kurak Alliance factions allowed this without detracting from their inherent nature as rogues and pirates.
Meanwhile, the Oroshan will be further fleshed out to receive Patrol Fleet legal builds (in addition to Battle Fleet builds available with the Armageddon Dreadnought). They will continue to provide mercenary support to any in the Storm Zone who can pay their fee.
Finally, we have completely revisited the Pathogen, ensuring that they have both a unique feel and play style, plus long-term durability in the game. They have received several new rules, enabling players to convert all matter they find into the next level of life.
Overall, we’ve moved the Marauders from the side-lines firmly into the mainstream of the Firestorm Armada Galaxy, and we expect Armageddon Dreadnoughts, Phantom Battleships and Brigand Cruisers to be spotted with many more fleets in the future!

Ok, kommen die Stationen also doch noch in den Handel. War ja irgendwo vorauszusehen. Und dazu noch mit passenden kleinen Stationen. Ich denke zwar nicht, dass man die Spielerisch jetzt braucht, aber als Szenarioobjekte ist es immer gut, dafür Regeln zu haben. Zumindest die Directorate und die Sorylian Station sollen bei mir drin sein.

The new boxed set for Firestorm has been announced in Spartan’s latest newsletter!
When the leaders of the Aquan Prime heard of the assault of Proteus Prime by Directorate forces they were gripped with fear. The ancient texts told of a great danger hidden in the planet, and ancient force that could destroy the entire galaxy.In response the latest fleet of Aquan starships was sent to intercept and destroy the Directorate fleet orbiting the planet. An epic battle is taking place above the planet of Proteus Prime – so gather your forces Commanders it is time for war!

This large Dimensional Gate is of an unknown alien design. It’s included in the box set, along with 1 2.0 Rulebook, 3 Token & Template Sheets, 2 Asteroid Sheets, 2 Fast Play Sheets, 2 Tactical Action Card Decks, 24 Dice and 1 Mission Booklet

Auf Mann's Model Moments findet ihr einen ersten Spielbericht zu Return of the Overseers.
Der Aquan Admiral der vergisst die Bomber seines Heavy Carrier Flaggschiffs einzusetzen gehört standesrechtlich erschossen!

Aus der Nähe betrachtet muss ich sagen gefallen mir die Directorate Schiffe noch einmal besser als auf den ersten Bildern.
Vor allem das Hex-Muster erscheint mir interessant, ob ich das auch mal irgendwo ausprobiere?

1 Spirit Class Battleship, 1 Hellhound Class Heavy Cruiser, 3 Shrike Class Cruisers, 4 Hellion Class Frigates, 1 Large SRS Token and 1 Small SRS Token

The Rense System Navy (RSN) was originally founded by Markus Rense just after the Outer Reach's victory in the Second Secession War, with a straightforward mission: to serve as the dedicated defence fleet of Raven's Citadel, the capital system of the new Dindrenzi Federation.

1 Garuda Class Carrier, 3 Harpy Class Escorts, 2 Large SRS Tokens and 2 Small SRS Tokens

The warships of the RSN are sleek, deadly fighting vessels, packed with state-of-the-art technology and weapon systems. Products of Dindrenzi and Directorate technical expertise, they combine the mighty brute strength of Federation railguns and torpedoes with the incandescent fury of massed plasma batteries.

1 Revenant Class Dreadnought, 3 Harpy Class Escorts, 1 Large SRS Token and 1 Small SRS Token



The Oroshan are one of the many alien races to exist wholly as nomadic starfarers; their original home planet lost to the mists of time and legend. However, what makes the Oroshan so notable is that almost the entire race seems to subsist largely through the proceeds of mercenary contracts.
