Anyone still playing BFG? Any news on the supposed (And actually somewhat likely to happen...

There's quite a few ships in the old BFG rulebook that dates their creation as after the heresy. Mostly imperial but a couple of the chaos ships are prototypes/weapons testbeds that went rogue.

they're pretty good user

Thanks. I'll probably make more if I find more exploitable lines and pictures in Armada

Post void combat strategy!

Drop fleet commanders worth a look for scratching that BFG itch, it was developed with the dude who made BFG so their is that.

I used to play the PC game, but for some reason around the time they added Tau it stopped working for me. Now it just crashes and gives an error about my graphic card.

I do wish GW would release updated BFG, like they've done with BB and Necromunda. I know a guy who has lots of BFG minis (Imperial, Chaos, and Nid fleets), so I've played against him a few times. But getting minis right now is really expensive (even the Shapeways not-BFG figures cost quite a lot).

Armada stills works fine for me, so probably just something with your rig. I assume you've reinstalled it?

I'd play the fuck out of bfg if there were official models

If we're lucky, we'll get to see some of the old 1st edition Imperial ships make a comeback.

That would be neat.

They could reuse the old Space Fleet designs.
The imperial ships had some sweet design before everyone jumped on the Blanche bandwagon (that are cool too, in a different way).

You got the old drawfaggotry?

I'm afraid not. Just shitty OC

No problem.
Meanwhile, more Jes Goodwin designs.

...

>The top one
It's like they later just cut the prow off, flipped it upside down and reattached it. Voila, Imperial ship design.

...

Oh okay, it was just one of many.

Battleship Cathedral (by Chris Foss, back when GW didn't use deviantart artists).
Because the Ecclesiarchy doesn't fucking play.

Found these

Huh, never seen that one before, its official?

Where's it from?

...

...

How about some battlefleet gothic comic storytime, now?

Yes and no. It was commissionned by GW, but afaik they never used it.

thanks man, I've been looking for this one forever.

My penis can only get this erect.

And that's all folks; Chaos never stood any chance against such a handsome fella.

Bonus: 'nid ships.

A e s t h e t i c

Going 30k doesn't make sense, you cut out 'nids and Tau as factions, you maybe can sell more marine and Chaos but you could have done that anyways by setting it in the current era and just call the new models either recovered designs or actual new ships as part of the primaris program. It gives them more design space and factions, ie, sell more models.

In the grim darkness of the far future, in the Age of Darkness, there are only Space Marines fighting Space Marines.

oh great more xenos salt.

Both nids and tau were terrible factions in bfg anyway so its not much of a loss.

From what I remember almost everyone played imperials or chaos anyway with maybe a handful of eldar players. It was almost impossible to find anyone playing something else

Plus in 30k you'd have both traitors and loyalists mostly using the original BFG's Chaos ship designs.
The Adeptus Titanicus game they're making is confirmed to be 30k, for the same reason the original game (which later became Epic) was: that way they can make just one set of titans initially. They've mentioned that it would later be expanded to include xenos, including 40k stuff (since titans haven't really changed between 30k and 40k, aside from Chaos getting their own daemon-titans which could also just be added later).

BFG is different, though, as the Imperial and Chaos fleets weren't just palette swaps of each other, but looked and player radically differently. Both sides have ships that have been around since the Heresy, but there was supposed to be a change in paradigm in Imperial fleet strategy that led many oth the previously commonly used ship classes falling out of favour, and classes that had previously not been utilised as much due to not fitting the old fleet doctrine becoming more popular. Chaos fleet on the other hand still keeps using the kind of ships that were popular before and during the Heresy.

>the old Space Fleet designs.

Pics?

N-no bully, clearing minefields with your own ship is a viable tactic, I swear!

It's what escorts are for

Makes up for all the times I got pubstomped as a newbie.
