I dont know a Retribution, Exorcist, 2x Lunars, and a Fleet Admiral would probably be pretty fun to play with and seems fairly rounded.
Agreed. That's what I would do with this list.
In BFG:R I think you need three cruisers to get a battleship. The grand cruisers do not count for this purpose.
Hi Blekinge,
the Bastion Fleet list in BFG:R and in the GW original Bastion list have this:
Grand Cruisers do not count towards the battleship.
So Zarathustra, you need one regular cruiser to get to that fleet.
(You to Andrew & Dan
).
One thing Zarathustra: the official Retribution is 345pts (the GW pdf missed one location to change the value. The Emperor is 365. Check FAQ2010 (and older ones as well).
That is 20pts left. Drop the Lunar 200pts left.
Drop escorts 265pts left.
Add two Dauntless (to a total of 3). Have 45pts spare.
If you stick with 1000pts it would be much easier to replace the Grand Cruiser with a battle cruiser. Above ~ 1200pts you can fiddle with the Grand Cruiser/Battleship setup.
