In the Exterminatus mission, a battle barge can take the role of the exterminator without having to sacrifice its prow weapons and gains a +1 for its roll to exterminate the planet. Depending on the class of vessel the upgrade will come at a premium and it may otherwise be awarded a Mark but may not carry a Warmaster or Chaos Lord. There are some restrictions here; you can only include a Space Marine fleet commander if you have a battle barge, and Space Marine vessels can’t squadron up with Navy ships. Their lances are represented by Gauss Particle Whips which function as normal lances but on a 6 will also bypass shields including holofields/shadowfields. The relatively inexpensive Light Cruisers are an alternative to the more common Dauntless class and provide some very focused support to the fleet as the Endeavor, Endurance, or Defiant designs trade capacity for hanger bays, lance batteries, or weapon batteries.

The Dark Eldar Corsairs list can be comprised of up to 12 customized cruisers and any number of customized escorts – the customization helps to add some flavor to what is otherwise a single cruiser option and a single escort option. While the roster entries are extremely limited, the customization options for the class give the Dark Eldar surprising flexibility in fleet construction. Instead the Aurora carries a pair of Pulsars and a four-capacity torpedo spread (which, I remind the reader, Eldar torpedoes are fantastic) while the Solaris carries an 8-strength weapon battery. These are primarily designed for lobbing magma bombs at a planet’s surface, but are amusingly effective when fired at enemy ships. Night Scythes pack twin Tesla Destructors (eight dice at short range, causing damage on 4+), and have a Transport of 2, since they bring their very own captive wormhole along for the ride.The fleets arrive wholly unexpectedly and undetected, strike quickly, and then depart just as rapidly – leaving unfortunate and unsuspecting defenders adrift and dying in the void of space. Tracking Systems, Tau vessels within tight proximity of a ship with tracking system can reroll turret defenses and ignore column shifts for range – which is a cool ‘For the Greater Good’ type rule.

It essentially then acts like Blackbeard’s ghost ship, half-in the Warp and half-out, and may act normally with the exception that it cannot interact with other ships or be interacted with by enemy ships or phenomena. At 380 points it is not a cheap battleship, and it suffers all the drawbacks of the rest of the Corsair list – low hull points (comparable to an Imperial Grand Cruiser) paper thin armor, and easy criticals (the typical 4+) that can be a serious detriment if you can pin it down. The Necrons are a fleet that was designed to be tough, aggressive, and more than a match for their opponents in a fair fight – something about being super old technological elitists. Like other massive, ponderous vessels, the Hulk moves 10 cm straight forward and does not suffer speed reductions for blast markers, however, the Hulk can only turn once every second movement phase after its mandatory 10cm move. Armada introduces a series of cool new Battleships and Grand/Battlecruisers to the Imperial roster as well as a single escort type.It can act as an interceptor itself, and as an assault boat, which is useful for shutting down ship systems on enemy vessels or sabotaging enemy escort ships beyond utility. Ships may continue to fire at half effectiveness and boardings may occur as normal, and the claws continue to grasp in each end phase. The interlopers probably won’t stay very long, though, because a combination of highly trained chapter serfs and Marines will soon arrive to tenderise their collective face.

I’m sure at some point in the future the Tau will take the Kroot homeworld of Pech and relegate those who refuse to integrate to space Oklahoma but as of right now the Tau have other priorities. It brings a bevy of gunz and heavy gunz on the beams as well as the prow that has a decent range at 45cm. I’m sure many will disagree and say something like no actually it’s the cool battlesuits, but those people are objectively wrong.As fast and nimble as most other factions’ fighters, they sport the same Twin Tesla Destructors as their friends, adding some aptly-named Death Spheres to thoroughly obliterate ground targets. The Dirge class Raiders are extremely similar but trade a point in Lightning Arc offense and the loss of the Portal for an additional 10 cm of speed and a points decrease to 40. The remaining Dark Eldar weapon batteries, fighters, bombers, and torpedoes are otherwise similar to the Eldar Corsairs.
