First steps

[bsucbe]

I have wanted to start a fleet for as long as polycement has been in my house

I am in a place that is possible.

I want to start IN and can get two cruisers at a time, what is a good starting build?

[DinoDoc]

What point level ya going for?

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

500 points
Lunar
Dictator
3 Cobras

1000 points
Mars BC (upgraded)
Lunar
Dictator
Another Lunar or a Gothic
Admiral + 1 Reroll
2 Cobras

[bsucbe]

Really not sure on points level, what is an average game size?

Thanks for the list ideas, how would they play?

[wallofmeat]

I think fun can achieved at any level in BFG (<500 can be very tense) - though I usually play 1250 (which is reasonably chunky).

[bsucbe]

Not looking at games just yet (need to convince my opponent just yet) only at models stage so two cruisers on the way and having had a look I'm thibkig of agreeing with gothmog and going lunar and dictator.

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

Never leave home without your Lunars.

[bsucbe]

Have today finished painiting my dictator and lunar, love the models, now to order a couple more and build as lunar and mars. Maybe order an emperor.

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

If you already have a Dictator, maybe go with the Overlord over the Mars for your 1st BC as well. I know this is contrary to my 1st 1k list, but thinking on it, having some more WB would't be bad either. I probably suggested the Mars just for the Nova Cannon, which you can just put on you second lunar instead as well.
