I have not played Firestorm Armada yet. I read the rulebook and I like it. I figured gameplay would be much more interesting with more ship designs to build my fleet. Once again, I convinced my friend of ordering more Spartan Games models! I collect Sorylian and Dindrenzi; He collects Terran and Directorate. Our second order (via ebay) consisted of:

• Directorate: Carrier, Heavy Cruiser, Escorts
• Terran: Carrier, Heavy Cruiser, Escorts
• Dindrenzi: Carrier, Escorts
• Sorylian: Carrier, Heavy Cruiser, Gunship, Escorts
• FSA deck of 52 game cards

Note: I started gluing and basecoating my Dindrenzi fleet. It took a significant amount of time to clean flash from the models and sand all pieces to make them fit but the result is great!
