With one Independence Battlefleet Set and the Union Starter Set, you can make a decent force to begin with the Union at 1000 pts. Such a strong faction currently.
After seeing your review I can see the strength of the set. Getting one of everything enables the other boxes that only come with two of something. I play Crown/Canada and we like could use a box like this.
I played a Union fleet in the first version of the game and really enjoyed them. It's nice to see them getting some really good looking ships with lots of variations.
I just ordered this and locked myself in to a 5th faction. I just love the look of the paddlewheels. The big selling point for me here is the John Henry -- and maybe the sub. This set has such diversity in it. It's like a sampler set for the Union.
Ah, yes, the Union All Stars box. One of each Union sprues, which are available so far - and the new Independence / America / Liberty flagship. Nice package - only the one John Hanry sprue with only one sub und one DD on it is a bit sad though, cause they are the new models in this box. In the end, warcradle wrote a specific rule so that you can field the submarine alone and the DD with an acron as as fixed mini unit. I would not recommand this box as an entry point into the Union, but together with the starter set it is really good. Thnaks for the review L&W.
I must admit, whilst I dislike the look of the flying stand attaching to the front of the robots, seeing one assembled in the horizontal does look a lot better.
I have only recently begun to discover the previous edition minis and I gotta say... while I enjoy the look of most of the new ships, the older ones do have the edge with the extra bit of realism. They still have that steampunkishness but less is more, I think. Also gotta say I'm not loving the Independence, the front deck seems like an awful lot of unused real estate.

So many different sprues in a single expansion to get a third one after getting 2 of them anywhere else is an interesting concept

This is one of the best battlefleet sets from sheer variety alone.
I know, right? It's a great sampling of everything.
Dystopian Wars has some beautiful desings for sure
Interesting unboxing and your way to present the sprue with real example and size comparison..
Yay! More ships.
I’ve officially entered my naval battle side of wargames
I'm super happy that they finally released the John Henry! And they even gave it some buffs in some of the recent orbat changes.

Interesting. Lots of variety . The new resin model looks great.
Really lovely flagship and the john henry is a great addition for the union
Such a great mix of ships, really versatile box
Seems like a great selection of models in this box

Great looking models and a great range in the box.
the new resin ships are really niice, i really like the shape of the independence
I'd love to see a getting started with Union video
Really nice looking box.
WOW. That's pretty good value for $70!
Ty for the great Review

Good star for taste of union battlefleet
Great set
looking good.
Flying robots for the win!
smells like freedom
One of each? That's ... interesting
I'm tempted to get this box set just to add some union units kf I were to use my SUSA as union
Honestly love the battle cruiser, but having to buy a second box to make legal dd squadrons is a hit of a pain
Nice one :)
