Space Marines aren't scheduled until June.  I've finished the campaign for BFG, but I am going to really wait until they release the Marines before I dive into the multiplayer.

Marines were supposed to be a few weeks after release. Which was a month ago.

They said right from the get go that marines will be released two months after the full release, and then they came out with their marching orders or what ever and specifically said June.

Marines were previously a few weeks after release, the second DLC was a few months afterwards. Behold the website: Pre-order - Battlefleet Gothic: Armada

Edit: Ah, I see hidden within a Steam update (April 29).

Well, I am happy.  My Dark Angel fleet now has 4 Strike Cruisers and 2 Battlebarges!  It is definitely interesting how they opted to forgo giving the Space Marines a Battle Cruiser weight ship and instead opted for an extra Strike Cruiser and Battleship.

I went for Imperial Fists for reasons. Is there any real difference between the Chapter ships other than cosmetic?

What favours did you choose for the Barges?

The difference is mostly cosmetic, but they really go beyond just the physical appearance.  I am a fan of the small things like when you change the abilities with the Chapter Master.  Because I went with Dark Angels, I hear "Repent.  For tomorrow you die."

As for the favours on the barges, I have only been able to afford one so far.  My primary barge I gave Chapter Master, and the other will be receiving Master of the Forge.  When I'm getting into 700pt games, I am running twin Battlebarges, and so far have only lost against Eldar.  Although I think I might change the skills on my second barge to include the sensor array that you can attach to an enemy ship.  You need them identified to be able to fire the homing boarding torpedoes, and they are too fast and can usually make it into a gas cloud easily.

Are you sure that's the game and not just something you hear in your head?  :D

I'm planning on the barge twins as well, mainly as I just like big ships with big booms.

They are really good.  When you go for the barges, definitely make both the Mk.1s with the three Bombardment cannons.  Those things are beslubbering gold, and when you add in a fully loaded Chapter Master favour, their chance of causing critical damage goes from 22.5% to 60%

Also, you still maintain your torpedoes, and the boarding torpedoes are what make the Space Marines a force to be reckoned with.

I'm getting quite proficient at hitting my own ships with homing boarding torpedoes. I bet they don't teach that at the academy.

I think it is more that the marines come charging out of the torpedoes, screaming like mad men until they run into one of the crew serfs who tell them in a completely deadpanned voice "You hit the wrong ship, dick weed."

Having the Chapter Master favour on the Battle Barge, with Imperial Fists and their canary yellow strip, is so ungodly gaudy my eyes bleed with the heresy.

For the Dark Angels, the paneling becomes grey with gold figureheads.  Still a pretty pimped out ride for Azrael.  Not as bad as the Chief Librarian though!  Holy amphetamine parrot does 'Zeke like his gold ride!

Speaking of which, I am kind of disappointed in what the Librarian's ability does.  It says that it can cause a mutiny, which I thought meant it could force an enemy ship to disengage.  But it's just another way to cause critical damage to a ship.

Mutiny should also screw up their stats, same as when you shoot one of your own captains for being a numpty.

I was looking at that for my second Barge.

I thought the early levels for the marines were pretty tough. I keep losing fights against the imperial navy. Am I doing something wrong?
