generalripphook Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I was indeed thinking of Friday night, I really only have some Imperial ships. I'll count up some points. Are you doing any events Friday? I was thinking maybe of doing kill team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorcon Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I am interested as well. What rules set are you thinking of using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what does the existing BFG community play rules wise? Or do we just say "No Necrons" and play our ships :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 So, wow, Forgot we had a rules resource thread pinned here Also, I believe they lead to this same spot... https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-aXA8fc5AQ8fmpVUEtsb1IxcDM5M2pBZjVGcFM5MTlWejVqVkt4VXZzX3E1YWQ0OER5Vnc Perhaps keep it really simple? Imperial vs Chaos? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorcon Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 When GW shut down the Specialist Games line, the official forums were handed over to the community. They currently reside at Specialist-Arms. The FAQ and Compendium 2010 are their version of the LRB, but were never considered by GW as official like the BB LRBs. There is a repository of official and community rules available... ...and I just realized andozane's link is the same one I was about to share.

generalripphook Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 And all of those are the links I shared in the stickied thread wooooo. Yeah Imperial versus chaos sounds super fun, how many points do we want to play each and/or total? Do we want to do a huge battle? Cuz that'd be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I would love to watch some BFG. Not sure I will have the energy to play though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 So are we just gonna use the 2010 rules compendium or do we want to mess around with any more of those rules that Zorcon shared? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos vs Imperial? Or I'm open...but I say we use the above link's rules? By the way, my opinion is easily swayed if someone feels strongly one way or another...

generalripphook Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I agree with that. Do we want to mess around with any sort of mission? Does anyone have good terrain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I say play straight up game... I'm gonna be silent on this topic for a few weeks as I"m heading out of town and probably won't be online much...so don't mistake my silence on loss of interest :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalripphook Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Good to hear! If people wanna post up who they will play for/ what ships they will bring we can build some teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can bring either, but my Khaos fleet has never left dry dock, so, I am partial to them. Should I list points or models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I only mentioned doing Imp vs Chaos due to as my memory tells me, certain fleets (i.e. Necrons) were terribly unbalanced. I'm not sure on the other races. Standard points is 1500 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Lets list points or models if you don't know their point costs. Are people willing to let other people use some of their fleets? Are we gonna do 1500 per side or per person? Looks like we have 3 or 4 people, I wouldnt mind having a huge fleet engagement. I'll post up what all I have, but I know I only have Imperial. I think I have a small bag of escort tyranid ships, is anyone interested?

generalripphook Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 So I have a paper planet, a space station and some minor defence outposts but for ships I have. 375 Apocalypse Class Battleship - rogue traders x4 - transports x3 240 Firestorm x6 370- 430/ 380 Tyrant/dominator x2 360 – 400 Lunar x2 360 Gothic x2 120 Cobra x4 440 Dictator x2 220 Dauntless x2 Space marines ships I think x3 Thats at least 2500 points with no admirals or any options taken.

Zorcon Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I have a lot of ships--More than I realized before making this list. Some models are currently unassembled, and most are unpainted (but I will get any we want to use in ship-shape before the event). The Space Fleet ships were intended for using the rules in Warp Rift 31 & 32, but they could be proxied as something else. I am heavily weighted towards Imperial, but if the Space Marines, and Rogue Traders went traitor that would mostly balance out my forces. 3005 CHAOS 510 Stix (Mark of Khorne) x2 225 Acheron (Mark of Khorne) 250 Devastation (Mark of Khorne) 240 Carnage (Mark of Khorne) 215 Inferno (Mark of Khorne) 210 Murder (Mark of Khorne) x2 200 Slaughter (Mark of Khorne) 135 Idolater x3 120 Infadel x3 150 Iconoclast x6 750 Blackstone Fortress 1595 SPACE MARINES 440 Battlebarge 580 Strike Cruiser x4 160 Strike Cruiser Carrier 160 Hunter 135 Nova 120 Gladius 1020 ROGUE TRADERS 185 RT Cruiser 185 Iron Clad Cruiser (Space Fleet Vessel) x2 160 Castellan Shield Ship (Space Fleet Vessel) 135 Gothic Lt Cruiser (Space Fleet Vessel) 240 Cobra (Space Fleet Vessel) x8 65 Galaxy Troop Ship (Space Fleet Vessel) 150 Xenos Vessels x3 975 PLANETARY DEFENSE 150 Space Station 240 Orbital Platform x8 120 Defense Monitor x2 160 System Ships x8 305 Orbital Mines & Mine Fields 1060 TRANSPORTS 90 Repair Tender 90 Super Heavy Transport 80 Heavy Transport x2 120 Transport x6 40 Fire Ship x4 180 Q-Ships x3 180 Escort Carriers x3 120 Recommissioned Escorts x3 60 RT Cargo Vessel x3 60 Armed Freighters x3 40 Galaxy Factory Ship (Space Fleet Vessel) 660 GREY KNIGHTS 330 Strike Cruiser x2 120 Cobra x4 105 Sword x3 105 Firestorm x3 4905 IMPERIAL NAVY (Various Sectors) 365 Retribution Battleship 365 Emperor Battleship 260 Mars Battlecruiser 440 Dictator x2 185 Tyrant 360 Gothic x2 220 Dauntless x2 120 Cobra x4 210 Sword x6 120 Firestorm x3 230 Exorcist Grand Cruiser 215 Emperor Cruiser (Space Fleet Vessel) 340 Tyrant Lt Cruiser (Space Fleet Vessel) x2 600 Thunderbolt Corvettes (Space Fleet Vessel) x6 300 Constellation Targeting Ships (Space Fleet Vessel) x6 260 Dominion Battlercruiser 105 Sword x3 210 Falchion Frigate x6 400 Blackstone Fortress 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorcon Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Most of my ships are not in any better shape than yours... I just like spreadsheets!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I had some foam laying around so most of my cruisers have a nice cozy home inside that, but damn it's hard to find a good way to store these models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnetize the flight stand to the ship. There are a couple of products out there specifically for storing models like BFG. Although its relatively simple to makeshift a similar solution. http://www.ninjamagic.com/cgi-bin/gt/tpl.h,content=19& 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
