I just joined the Warseer forums, and I only just realised today that there was a specialist games forum. So anyway, you may be seeing me post around here occasionally.
Anyway my one question now is that, as I already said I've just started a Gothic fleet; Eldar Corsairs, and I was wondering if there were any experienced players here who could help me start writing my fleet list. I've already found out that they can pretty tough to use against other fleets (especially Necrons...), though I did beat my friend who is an Ork player in a small cruiser class with my Shadow class cruiser against his kill kroozer and escort (narrowly; it lost 2 hull points).
Anyway... so far I only have my Shadow class Cruiser which I just mentioned, and I'm planning on buying some escorts. I did consider buying the eclipse class because I realise that Eldar ordnance is pretty tough, though I thought that with their movement and holofields they would'nt have to worry so much about enemy ordnance, so maybe fighters aren't so important. As for escorts which I'm planning on buying next, I'm mainly looking at Nightshades since they're the cheapest (in points, not money obviously...), and they give a good torpedo output when in squadrons of three. Aconites I was considering since even though thry are expensive, they can outgun quite a few capital ships in squadrons. Hemlocks I was also looking into, as pulsar lances are pretty tough and I can easily make walls out of them since they're at the cheaper end. Hellebores I'll leave aside for now; they're too expensive for any scale game I'll be palying in the near future. And Voidstalkers? Hah hah, well same applies.
Any ideas? I was also considering the forge world light cruisers, though they're hard to get hold of...
Any oppinions gratefully heard; I think I know roughly what I'm doing, but I wanted to see if I could just check with some experienced players first.
