I made my Ore-Transport fleet using the new BFG:XR Rogue trader list. Whilst it is very cool getting my cruisers in there was a struggle. The list only has 4 'Capital' ships and two of them are light cruisers. Which is fine I guess but it makes the list very much a glass hammer.
Venerable Captain (Ld9) With Targeting Matrix Upgrade [75]
Avenger Grand Cruiser, 45cm Weapon Batteries, Armoured Prow, Prow Torpedoes [255]
Firepower 20, 45cm range weapons with a targeting matrix? YES PLEASE! ![Grin ;D](http://www.specialist-arms.com/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
5 Swords [175]
5 Swords [175]
5 Havocs, 45cm Weapons, Bond Captain with Targeting Matrix [220]
5 Havocs, 45cm Weapons, Bond Captain with Targeting Matrix [220]
Firepower 25 per squadron, Range 45cm with a Targeting Matrix??? ![Shocked :o](http://www.specialist-arms.com/forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
Brigantine with Launch Bays [140]
2x Merchantment with Launchbays [170]
4x Armed Freighters [40] (transport Tax)
Overall the fleet has an awful lot of mid range dakka but absolutely no Lances, which is concerning but the Targeting matrix' should help. The Brigantine and the Merchantmen combine for a LB capacity of 8 which isn't bad for 1500pts but they are fragile though with little weaponry so won't be doing any heavy lifting.
The heavy lifting is really up to the Grand Cruiser and the Havocs with the Swords as back up when things get close and personal.
To make it 2k I'll probably add 2 Brigantines with lances (mini-Lunars) and some more cheap transports.
