Hey,
in the mail is a new addition to my fleets, perhaps one of the most iconic fleets in the game, I faced them multiple times but never played with them. I do have a pimped version of them going by the name of Adeptus Mechanicus.
So, soon will arrive:
1 Retribution Battleship Model
4 unasembled cruisers
12 escorts (no friggin idea which ones).
A well assorted core of 1500pts for a good prize. Yay.
Now I may have many opinions in this game and blah blah. But I will not make a Retribution out of the Battleship. Mainly because my AdMech has a Retribution BB.
So is it plausible to use the Retribution model as a base for an Apocalypse (concept rules and I wanna be weird) or the Oberon (since it is cool in use)?
With both getting HA and/or fan upgrades they will both fit with me in any fleet.
Secondly this IN fleet saved me from buying an AdMech cruiser (for half the money of this fleet....). It'll have a Dictator which I take as a reserve in my AdMech fleet to get it rounded perfectly at 1500pts as well.
And I will build a Dominator since I envy the Imperial Navy for that vessel....
