Oh my that terrain looks awesome. Can't wait to see it done. So I ordered the crone set today. Can't wait to get it. I've decided to do my daughters the way I did them for my boss with the purples and pinks.



Remember this?

Terrains coming up for me as well.

Keep at it.

I have to say how clean your paint work is. Good solid colors and crisp clean lines. Great job.

I agree; it's so smooth - super jealous, lol. The french infantry look great!

I love that you're doing white scars as your imperialis legion - so daring to paint so much white with red on top!

Great stuff, looking forward to seeing that imperialis force nearer to completion!

I would have liked to see the navigators properly too, but oh well.

40k cribbed an absolute stableload from Dune, but then again, Star Wars also borrowed significantly from Dune so what can you do, lol.

Its great, really liked the first one too. I know ot was a long film but it still felt a bit rushed towards the end.

I agree Christopher Walken seems an odd casting hes very recognisable in appearance and voice and he jars a bit when everyone else is being more spacey idk.

A lot of Dune in the books inspired a lot of 40K and they've downplayed that somewhat to be its own thing which I think worked well. Even if I am a bit sad not to see navigators hissing about how the spice must flow...  ;D

The Space Tavern / Dune Part 2

Villeneuve's Dune absolutely floored me when I saw it, so I was very excited to see this second part. I had a great time. The ending is particularly powerful and arguably gets the point across better than the novel (even if the movie might fall short in other aspects, but that's to be expected.)

Amazing soundtrack and sound effects. Great visuals. Great performances all around, even if I wonder what the hell Christopher Walken brought to the table, because I'm not seeing it but oh well. Also Irulan's outfits are hilariously dumb, but that's about it for criticisms, lol.

This game looks really great. I mean, nuclear weapon-toting space cathedrals? You've sold it really well here. I might hit you up later if I run out of things to read but for now this 25-year-old rabbit hole seems to run very deep indeed. Will be riding the wave of obsession for a good while till I get enough time again to get back to my Napoleonic painting projects.

One of us! One of us!

Its 40K at its most 40K, its Andy Chambers at peak performance where the rules, the fluff and the models all hit the spot perfectly. Get two small fleets printed to start and find someone to blast to pieces! Its a game of highs and lows, with all the 1999 style of big swings on small dice pools.

Heres a link to the current (community reviewed) rulebook:
BATTLEFLEET GOTHIC - RULES: OFFICIAL & NON OFFICIAL

This is Warp Rift the free fan e-zine, issue 43 is the most recent 20 years anniversary issue. Has a guest column from Andy Chambers himself as well as a nice summary of all the fleets. A good starting point.
Battlefleet Gothic @ Specialist Arms

I'm yet to find any really good video battle reports (to the point I'm considering making some!)
But this is Andy Chambers  talking about specialist games which is pretty cool (also a fun channel if you like old school GW designers talking about their work!)

Edit, been poking at this Fire Raptor some and not sure I'm happy with it. The cockpit frames are just painted on as a big wrap around windscreen felt not very armoured for a marine gunship...

There is 6 more escorts but I don't have enough bases to go around at the moment!
You don't really have a force org chart, but the cruisers are the bread and butter of a BFG force, and for every two cruisers you can deploy a heavy cruiser (bigger guns), and for heavy three cruisers (including heavy cruisers) you can deploy a battleship (bigger guns, more toughness etc). You can have as many or as few escorts as you like.

Escorts are quick, manoeuvrable and have decent firepower... at the cost of durability, save arguably in numbers. For Imperials and Chaos they're special weapon teams not front line fighters.

Eldar and Orks often have a very escort heavy focus, Eldar because they're fast and mean so being fragile doesn't matter and the ork escorts aren't very fragile at all!

A 38.1 degree fever, a spacefaring-themed wall sticker in my son's room-turned impromptu sick bay and memories of this thread have wrought their magic. I am now obsessively researching Battlefleet Gothic. I've recovered from the fever so it's all good! :D

Getting back to project the first for little, we did paint some White Scars!

Looking good!

@ myen'tal I'm not opposed to rule changes per say, just paying for more books all the time. Funny I have all 3 of the last daughters of khaine books and have never got to play with either of them.

Now a building structure does need to be put back in place just like old times.

@Wyddr I agree on the battalion thing. I never use them for the same reason.

UPDATE!!!!
So just got told that 4th Ed will not support any 3rd ed books or data cards. Complete re-do. supposedly there will be download cards, well...
