Firestorm Armada Ramps Up To Battle Stations

November 29, 2013 by brennon

Spartan Games have been showing off their upcoming Firestorm Armada Battle Stations. These look like they would be awesome as objectives and of course firing off some shots of their own!

I love that the Aquan Prime Battle Station has channeled the spirit of the Death Star with its design although hopefully they got the contractors to remove that rather large exhaust port.

My favourite of the six has to be The Directorate one, closely followed by the Terran Alliance station. I like the block design of the Terran one but the UFO look of The Directorate one, with the sharper lines to make it look more sinister has my vote over all.

I have been looking at Firestorm for a few weeks now but apart from The Directorate none of the ships really have me grabbed. I reckon this might be one that I have to try out before I dive in.

Will you be getting yourself a Battle Station?

I’d be pretty interested to see how this game is played on BoW (I got into Warmachine because of this site).

I’m sure I read an interview with Andy Chambers, and in it, they asked him how he felt when other companies took his rules and used and improved upon some of them in their own games, and he said he felt flattered.

I think it has been suggested in some parts of the internet, that this happened with Firestorm Armada? Would be interesting to see how this is played anyway, considering all the old forces are getting redone.

Pretty sure mr. Chambers, great writer that he is (I still hold the Starship Troopers, shortlived as it was, had the best 28mm scifi mechanics ever devised) had nothing to do with FA. BFG was about spaceships, FA is about spaceships, that’s about the extent of their similiarities (oh, and they use D6, but so does Warmachine)
