BFGG - Battlefleet Gothic General

No.

If you take it, take it as early as possible or leave crewmen with one missing point.

Eldrathain, plz go.

So I've just started a chaos fleet, I was wondering what chaos ships you sexy people use and why?

Might have bumped into three ram ships which will shrekt# your low armor prow

carnage with slaneesh favor is basically mandatory for eldar killing, just like the table top. otherwise your goal is to keep your opponent as far away as possible. chaos has pretty solid favors all around, they all have a use.

Pretty much what Said.

I have a light cruiser and a battleship both Tzeentch and they are usually good enough to hold off two armies at once unless they are really good or my partner is a fucking tard and gets me killed.

Honestly I'd recommend a Slaanesh ship and a Tzeentch ship for countering eldar.

Nurgle or tzeentch for countering orks(nurgle's ability won't do much but it can still be somewhat of a deterrent against close range beginner to mid tier ork players)

Khorne or Tzeentch for Imperials (for some reason it's laughable easy to board imperial ships so Khorne can do some real fucking damage)

And for chaos just use whatever you feel most comfortable with. But I would recommend Tzeentch because of chaos range.

All that being said, I can safely say I never ran into a Tzeentch fleet that could beat me.

How does it feel to be a buttblasted chaosfag?

I run mixed Tzeentch (carriers) and Slaanesh (brawlers). I prefer Slaughters over Carnages, though, even for elves. The trick is not to give into AP macros and hover at 6k, out of AP, boarding, and heavy kannon reach, and Slaanesh any go-getters that try to close distance. Counter-intuitively you want cogitator link, slaves, and reload most of the time for your favour to recharge. Further capitalize on that with bombs. Engine upgrades are a must, but it's effective, infuriating, and perfectly in flavour.

I miss TT slaughterers. one of the upgrades you could give them was unblockable burst damage at close range, which, combined with their speed, made them great candidates for getting right behind imperial lines where they had low armor and no guns.

are there any fleets y'all just cannot seem to win with? I have no trouble with eldar or imperial fleets, and I'm not awful with orks, but I can even get past level 4 with a chaos fleet. I just don't know how to use their light cruisers and escorts! are there special properties to missile pods?

Eldar. Because all except scrubs are still dangerous. Any retard can point the front of his ship at the enemy and pulsar everything.

I can win as Chaos but I find them boring as shit and end up playing like faster imperials.

I like imperials and Eldar because they're decisive as shit unless you play alaitoc dick ass stealth ships and just crit for dayz

>are there special properties to missile pods
No, they count as macros in all respects but graphics.

>light cruisers
Stay at 12k, spam bombers, use terrain a lot.

>escorts
They suck, compared to other races, but you can get a bit of mileage out of infidels. Just set them to frontal, 9k, point them at the enemy capital ships, and auto torpedoes. Launch manually when you have some attention to spare. Iconoclasts are pretty good harassment boats, too, with 9k macros. Infidels suck so make them scouts.

Idolators suck*, not Infidels.
You have all the lances you'll ever need on everything already.

Suited to it. Imperial favouritism is the norm.

>Terminus Est shows up as a boss
Any other unique chaos ships show up? Not counting PK, obviously.

How do I bit get kited as imperials? Just taunts and stasis bombs?

used*

A lot.

How do eldars fare in station assault as attackers?

Are Imperial ships just weaker in Campaign mode?

I put about 70 hours into multiplayer and these fights are nothing like multiplayer.

Chaos ships seem stronger, Imperial ships are weaker and slower.

Rear Admiral Drawfag reporting in to battlefleet Veeky Forums. My mission is now back in track. Working on the color blind ork comic right now.
next mission in the tubes :
- 50 shades of Spire with ladies being overwhelmed by listening an Imperial ramming;
- remove Chaos/eldar" with Spire, Adriendal and Ravensburg playing respectively the accordion, trompet and organ.
- "Spin to win" tactica imperialis lesson 101 with 2 dauntless ramming a chaos vessel.

hence, i might be busy with this for quite a long time. Don't hesitate though to offers new ideas.
i'm posting again the work that allowed my promotion to Rear Admiral. Please add the appropriate captions about lack of Vodid Combat strategy..
transmission off.

everyone is good as attacks. pulsars against a stationary target is hilarious. imperials and orks just torpedo and ram for the same reason. and kitting a stationary is easy for chaos

Torment

Dear god, is that an Eldar or a shark?

The eternity of pain.

Here's the original.

Just don't work till burnout admiral, the entire battlefleet would be affected by the loss of you.

one for each chaos god. but they unfortunately dont have unique models, only unique portraits.

Add some random and completely out of place ork boyz to fifty shades of spire picture. They heardz about someone talkin about a gud krumpin

>Ravensburg playing organ
youtube.com/watch?v=sromCzWjTGQ

One per Haos god, you get to fight a corrupted Blackstone and there's an Ork Space Hulk.

And you also get to fight the planet killer... Twice.

...

Just checking, what does the blue icon mean? That you get favors for doing this mission, or that you'll have allies?

Thrice if you ally with the Eldar.

You'll have IN allies and get IN favour. If it's a winged skull instead, it's Astartes allies and favour.

Both

>First 1v1 match
>Eldar
>Some weird ass laser thing hurts one of my LC ships so damn much
>10 Hull left, fuck up a ram and it touches an Eldar LC lightly
>Both blow up, Eldar ship had almost 100% hull
Amazing, other Eldar ship got fucked by torpedoes. God I love torpedoes.

Versus Eldar*

Why is it I'm always matched with some goon who thinks I should be the one to get close to the other team with my 12-15k lance and fighter range.

When we say they're made of glass, we ain't kidding.

Which Imperial battleship do you guys think is most competitive in MP?

I fucking hate this shit. I lost a battleship because some Imperial tard kept waiting for me to go ahead.

I didn't expect them to be that glassy, my LC just flipflopped into the Eldar ship and I was legitimately shocked when both blew up.

>mp
>Imperial BB

>Admiral, we have an hull breach
>Colmate it with wet paper!

Getting your engines blown up while having The Red Button activated is so much fun. You can end up with a Battleship going at like 450-500 non stop until it dies. Sure it's hard to make it turn, but coming back to ram at that speed when the other guy completely forgot about it is pure bliss.

I just matched against 2 Ork players as Chaos who pulled this shit.

Sorry bud, but what do you expect me to do? Get into brawling range with my fleet of papier mache snipers? Not my fault you decided taunt and mass stasis weren't good enough for you.

Jesus fuck are they ever going to fix those servers?

here is the colorblind kaptain comic in. I won't shade it, to complete the gag, we will need a colouring drawfag.
I hope you like it.

Now, I'll start working on "Remove XXX" with the famed trio. if someone has a screen with Captain Abridal Face, it will be helpfull.

What Cruisers should I go for as Imperial Navy?

Gothic 2bh, because of the name.

had to do so many 2v1s cause of dumbasses that rush into the other two guys fleets and then whine wheres muh ally

It does feel pretty good when you go on to beat both of them though.

>When you beat 2 fleets using a Battleship with Tzeentch favor and your ally starts screaming ''OP'' while the enemy is just confused as to how they lost to a giant floating cloud.

Lunar and Tyrant, bros for life. Optional Gothic or Dominator for third.

>Imperial Fist Captain Tiberius
Literally who?

Literally copy and paste name. But I'm surprised they used Imperial fist instead of ULTRAFAGGOT

no one who exists, im pretty sure space marines didnt even take part in the 12th black crusade, so they had to put someone out there. same with spire.

I wonder if his armor is terminator, tactical, or devastator class.

The ultramarines were not a part of the gothic war, the fists were.

Learn to lore newfag.

he's a captain, so tactical/artificer armor. also, I dont think theres a difference between tactical and devastator armor.

>Learn to lore newfag.
His name doesn't show up in the wiki

LISTEN

HERE

KNIFE

Space Marines are part of every Black Crusade if I remember correctly, the crusades a pretty big deal afterall.

Why the hell are some of my matches lagging like shit and making me unable to use any abilities unless I put them on auto? Shit's gay.

Neither does the Sword of Sacrilege for some reason....

Is Spire the most based human after the Emperor?

Space marines did take part in the Gothic War and the Imperial Fists were definitely among the chapters available

There is actually. Devastators have additionnal stabilisers in their legs to brace the heavy weapons better.

No difference between assault and tactical though.

>Roks are in game as ork space stations
I wonder what Eldar have

Eldar actually had space station models on th TT and the game reflects that

So did Deciever know, that Abaddon would fuck everything up and get shreked by the IN? Kinda hilarious when you think about it. Even in the lore he managed to get only 2, 1 of which was destroyed shortly after and the second one was almost blown to pieces.

Haven't played station assault against Eldar yet, but I'd assume they have one based on the Eldar space station model (Haven-class spire) made by Forgeworld.

Assuming it still works like in the old lore, the blackstone fortresses where uses to kill all the c'tans but the few we know and now all the Imperium's fortresses self-destruct and 2 are in control of chaos, so I would guess the deceiver managed to get these out of people that could potentially use them to kill the remaining c'tan (imperium,eldar and perhaps the necron themselves).

Necrons, dark eldar, tau, or tyranids next game, which does Veeky Forums want to see the most?

Tau_____

Tau are all about but confirmed next

Tau, and I don't even like them fluffwise.

It'll be nice for people to have a new species to bitch about.

Necrons just for the portraits

Tyranids

...

Necrons, Tau or Nids. Anything that'll give us more variety in models and combat.

Seriously, why haven't the Chaos Gods gotten a better warmaster yet?

Rear Admiral Drawafag reporting in !
Here is the WIP of " Remove knifeEars/Freebootas/planetKiller/chaosfags". I do know there is a problem with composition, Ravensburg is too big and too close. But anyway, is that good in concept enough ?
Anyone got a screen with Abridal face in game ?
Suggestions on the buttons I'll putt on the accordion ? I was thinking of the Nova Canon Icone, the Torpedo one, Taunt, Stasis Bomb and Void Shield Transfer.

Because they stopped pushing dead memes

Nice one

I wont say any ideas as i think this thread has provided enough and I dont want you to retire earlyburnoutfrom the Emperors' service

The concept is so beautiful!
We have been blessed by having such a wonderful drawfag!

...

How should I name my Tyrant and Lunar?
