/bfgtt/ Battlefleet Gothic Tabletop

It's great that armada is such a hype, but could it be moved to Veeky Forums? There is no room for discussion on the tabletop game because of the bitchin about ALT-F4ing stories, cruiser clashes, and general meme spam. The only good thing about armada has been the ork stories.

(Short version: 2007 edition of the rulebook, 2010 Update, and Armada)
Revised is a set of fan-rules, written almost entirely by a Dark Eldar player. It shows.

Also looking for more non-GW minis suitable for running boarding party games.

Traditional Imperial Navy colors

Admech joining as well

crack addication

Cant beat IN looking great

need moar power

I have one of these on the way from a trade. It's my first ship. Can someone identify it? What's the value? It looks like it's missing some of the side parts but I'm not sure. What should I get to complement it?

It looks like battleship

Some ork fleet looking bawler

Yeah the guy I'm getting it from was told it's a Dethdeala, but it and Gorbag's Revenge look more or less the same. I love the look in the one you pictured and was considering imitating it.

a sign of affection.. thanks.. will post more ork fleets as a thanks

I just want to see any actual models. I just got motivation to care about BFG after trading for this ship, but the other thread is just game bullshit and talk without actual models.

Yeah, but it's just been launched and has a lot of buzz. When it dies back a bit there should be less posts about the tabletop being lost.

to be honest its a bit too much armada focused. I just got my huge order from Irene and i know that if i post it i will get shit response because of the armada spam

I think I want to mod Armada to fix Nova Cannon accuracy. I'm just so pissed at how useless it is in campaign or single-player skirmish.

Yes, i tried to start a tabletop discussion, but inbetween game related posts, it got forgotten.

In the tabletop it wasnt accurate too.
But it provided blocks for eldars and good shifts for macros.

As far as i saw it ingame, nova would make the imp too op. They are rather good.

so lets have at it! My phone is in a coma so its hard taking pictures from the stuff i received from Irene.. but if you want i can give it a go?

Do you play with the core rules or do you like houserules and custom ships?

Sure

...

150 dollah worth of space crack

what size magnets are those? I still need to order mine and not sure what to get. I was thinking 2mm diameter and 1mm thick, but i think i may need to go smaller.

What do you guys think of the Hecate heavy cruiser? I quite like the idea of it but is it balanced against the core ships?

Are there any chinaman who do grandcruisers?

Thats fine stuff.
Waddya been glueing there?
What flavours you got there?

Its like a lunar, allpurpose cruiser.
Can everything but nothing well.
Use macros to get shield down, than laser finish.

I have idea, but think the thinnest and widest is best.

2 fleets, 1 chaos and 1 IN

Both have:
6 escorts
2 cruisers
1 Battleship

I also have a nid fleet which i am building.. but still getting the hang of greenstuff

Thats a good fleet starter.

And the nids look nice.

jesus, use greenstuff instead of modeling clay

>7 posters
I suppose that's the entire tabletop community.

It seems so.
Too small i guess to maintain a full thread.

Last battalion at the eye of terror thats is a /v/-BFG. lol

hehe that was just testing to see if i liked the look as applied to the whole hive. Just started greenstuffing but i am not too good at it.. pic related.

just wondering.. how well does greenstuff handle simplegreen or nail polish? I am considering stripping before re-spraying

I dont mind other clay. The result is important. There is an air/microwave clay. Its light and good to mold. Just gets dry quick.

I think only problem is it wount stick like greenstuff on plastic.

Who gives a shit about this old dead game.

How's the quality and delivery time?

Here?
11 anons.

And everyone that like space kits. I guess.

Everybody who like 40k space combat or the aesthetics thereof?

Not the fans fault GW is too incompetent to manage multiple game systems at once.

They can't even manage ONE game system at a time

thinking its just forms and they could produce the kits on demand.

Since its all the same plastic material

quality looks good. All plastic which was a surprise. Tons of bits on the larger ships. Almost no warping and limited loss of detail. I did notice on the desolator some mini bubbles.. but thats fine for me since the ship is supposed to be 10k old ;)

Anything specific you want a pic of?
