Dakkar, you are so right. I read the first little bit about the Retholza and I was pleasantly surprised. I am very much down on Warcradle's fluff, in my opinion it tends towards the generic and grimdark given half a chance when I am really more a shades of grey and preferably lighter ones kind of guy. Artistic, singing, but still warlike expansionist spiders is just so cool. Reminds me of Thrawn, a commander who can use art to understand his enemies. The bump to earth with the bog standard then the AI took over and so they lost all art and culture was depressing. I wouldn't mind a Killik style artistic hivemind.
The ships are mixed. I do like that there are touches of the current designs and an actual attempt to make models that are more obvious evolutionary developments of current ships compared to the monstrous things that happened to a lot of the factions for Dystopian Wars that make me less than keen to pick up those ships, but Firestorm was less consistent and I was less invested in that game.
