I must admit Xanders work is extremely impressive - I don;t really understand why his talent is not used more often!?
You don't know if he does commission work do you?
I do feel painted models are important - especially if you have manage to aquire a talented painter that you can cultivate and look after appropriately.......

Fleets of the Fading Suns is currently at Holistic, awaiting their final word.
However, if you can't wait, we have just posted a complete preview on Planet Mongoose!
Oh, and if you select Noble Aramada on the menu on the right and scroll down, you will see some of the new ships that will soon be flying your way!

All of the changes sound great.
Can I ask a question though, if you're changing fighters to make them more effective (by basically making them free). Is there a means for Al-Maliq or Kurgen fighters (the standard ones not upgraded) to hurt ships.
All the other factions have burn out weapons so weak fighter weapon can be fired after a ship has burned out the shields. Kurgan and Al-Mals don't have burn out. So if you take an un-upgraded carrier and the enemy has no fighters your fighters are wasted (unless you get a jammy critical).
Is this being changed (ie a means for fighters to hurt shielded ships or a means for those races to take down shields /new rocket type etc) so like the othe factions they can be used against ships.

It is not being changed - but you will find upgrades cheap enough...

The preview looks good, but i have one question. What happened to the al Malik Serendipity Scout Cruiser that was mentioned in one of the earlier previews? Will that not be making an appearance after all?

Even if my normal fighters cannot hurt ships, this line intrigues me
"These include Battle Shields, making fighters more durable, and electronic decoys which force incoming attacks onto a single (less valuable) fighter"
This will all depend on the full set of rules, but I'm thinking i could have some electronic decoys on some attakhan fighters (the 2+ dodge ones) leading my Martyrs into battle. So the more important fighters reach to target. Previously the Martyrs were a bit too slow and easy to kill for many to reach the target.
Not just that, think of my Hazat. Two Trafalgars with a couple of scouts will ensure that several ships that i want to target has no shields and fairly heavily bashed from the 6D of Heavy Blasters each. On top of that the swarm of 24 Daggers following up with (upto 48 AD from them) and all for about 750 pts!
and if you think that is fun, look at your Li-Helan carrier and fighters ......or the Hawkwood!
This with our current play styles seems almost a little too powerful, however it just means we'll need to adapt and the carriers will become alot more common, even if its just for defence. However it all comes down to the wording of the new rules.

We did a lot of playtesting for this rule, with several different variations. We are confident you will adapt and overcome
