Battlefleet Macharia

[Wargamer]

How can I pass up the chance to make a whole new Gothic list?

The following is a fleet-list for Battlefleet Macharia. However, it should be noted that these ships can be mixed freely with the ships listed in Battlefleet Gothic, and Armada. The list below is for those who want a "pure" Macharian fleet.

Battlefleet Macharia:

Battleships:
You may include 1 Battleship for every 3 Cruisers or Battlecruisers in the fleet.
Emperor Class.
Retribution Class.
Solar Class: 370pts.

Battlecruisers:
You may include 1 Battlecruiser for every 2 Cruisers in the fleet.
Armageddon Class.
Overlord Class.

Cruisers:
Macharius: 180pts.
Osiris: 180pts.
Lunar Class.
Dictator Class.
Dominator Class.
Dauntless Class.

Escorts:
Swords.
Firestorms.
Cobras.

Solar Class Battleship: 370pts
The Solar Class Battleship is an ancient vessel. It has a unique structural style, one copied heavily by the Macharian Battlefleets, and sports multiple Lances to allow effective combat engagement. The power demand for this is massive, but the sheer amount of damage it can potentially inflict makes it more than worthwhile...

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Battleship/12	20cm	45o	4	6+ front/5+	4
ARMAMENT	RANGE/SPEED	FIREPOWER/STR	FIRE ARC
Port Lances	45cm	6	Left
Starboard Lances	45cm	6	Right
Dorsal Lances	60cm	3	L/F/R
Prow Lances	45cm	3	L/F/R

Macharian Class: 180pts
Replacing the Lunar as the base-line ship of the Fleet, the Macharian Class sports greater lance capability, at the cost of Torpedo capability. The ship has proven capable of performing in any combat situation the Lunar can, and it is possible that the Macharian Class has been constructed for other Sectors as well.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Cruiser/8	20cm	45o	2	6+ front/5+	2
ARMAMENT	RANGE/SPEED	FIREPOWER/STR	FIRE ARC
Port Lances	30cm	2	Left
Starboard Lances	30cm	2	Right
Port Batteries	30cm	6	Left
Starboard Batteries	30cm	6	Right
Prow Lances	30cm	3	Front

Osiris Class: 180pts
Designed to give long-range fire support, the Osiris Class was generally found to be lacking in combat efficiency, and was rarely produced. It is most commonly found in Battlefleet Macharia now, though even they are replacing them with more combat-effective vessels

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Cruiser/8	20cm	45o	2	6+ front/5+	2
ARMAMENT	RANGE/SPEED	FIREPOWER/STR	FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	45cm	4	Left
Starboard Batteries	45cm	4	Right
Port Batteries	45cm	4	Left
Starboard Batteries	45cm	4	Right
Prow Battery	45cm	6	Front

Considering that the Solar Class has a possibility of wiping out my Battle Barge Obliterator, I think it's point value should be at least 425, not 370. It's scary to say the least.

Wooo! Lances! Wooo!

Thats an awful lot of lances-that solar class has the potential to destroy a cruiser in one broadside especialy if you lock on....

As for the osiris why does it have 2 firepower 4 batteries on each side rather than 1 firepower 8 on each side.
