Sato Hammerswarm

 

Here are a couple of Sato fleets, one at the standard 400 and one at 600, that should make you smile. The fleets have MC30, Hammerheads, Rogues... if you don't think this looks fun, you're a sourpuss. 

I've only played the 400-point version (during ARC01 playtesting), and it was quite a bit of fun. It's definitely NOT the best way to run Sato if you want maximum efficiency, but the fun factor is there AND the thematic factor! And bc of nuSato, it's reasonably effective even. 

Still suffers from the normal Sato problem - how do you balance ships and squads - and the HH problem - you gonna bleed points. But for a casual game with your buddy? Try it out. 

The 600-point version is just a straight expansion of the original, with an extra MC30 and more squadrons. Why include this? Well, because 600 points is amazing for casual games and I want to convince more players to try it. Plays a lot like "normal" Armada, but you can fit more stuff and have even more fun, without it taking much longer to play (things go boom quickly).
