When did Raiders get the Nova?

The Endgame Nova from Argent's Crusaders is really nothing like the new Raiders Nova. The stats are totally different.

Think of the Endgame as a Unique variant of the Raider Nova.

So is the Argent's Crusade legal?

If your tournament organiser allows you to use the list, sure. But remember that Argent's list is different from the Raiders list in a few ways, too. You gain some, you lose some...

They did so-so for me in a tourney a ways back, but I wasn't playing my best...I was having too much fun with swarms of breaching pods to really be thinking competitively. :)

Great mini for it, too!!

Thank you very much! It came to me when I found an old miscast Nova in my bits bin (not even the one that got used for the final model) and I started screwing around with making a 'cobbled Nova'. The fleet list sprang up around the model, and the rest is history.

You're all right of course, about the differences in the ship and the two lists, I suppose my point should have been that's when the idea of putting an old military ship in the Raider list occured. I still think the endgame dreadnought is way cool though!

When we tested out the fleet, Argent used his own V2s, so I would say use the ones from his list...call them the "Delta-V2b" fighters, like Argent did a little tweaking to 'em or something.

Or...for simplicity's sake, use the new stats. It is really kinda up to the event organiser, but since it is my list...I'd say use Argent's V2s for his list.

Did that make any sense at all?

Now that the Raiders have access to Novas, are more people considering making a fleet?

I shouldnt think so, considering the stats oif the Raider version of the nova, i dont thinke their are many situation where i would perfer tot ake it over 2 battlewagons. The problem isnt that the Nova is a bad ship, more that the battlewagon ios a really really good ship.

Thank you...finally someone who agrees with me....

Battlewagons are superb.....mind you, I think the nova's exellent as well.
That amount of twin-linked non-weak weaponry firepower is superb. And the 6 Dice AP Beam is a great Vree/Skirmish ship killer...even though the Hull is a touch weaker than many battleships, 60 hit points is up there with warships, and with 4 interceptors..

Precise and Hull 6 aside, it's basically a Lakara-class with a big fighter wing, and a genuine slugger is something the raiders have always needed.
(OK, strike carrier and modified freighter are ok for their points value, but hull 4 falls apart rapidly once laser-armed true warships show up).

Indeed, thank you, makes my Shipviewer easier as well when I reverse engineer the SFOS one from the updated Armageddon one.

PM coming your way on another matter
