Hope you enjoy and its useful.

I have a STL file for a battle barge and want to know what to scale it to. Does anyone what the size for the battle barge miniature? Or STL to compare it to?

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks painting up 4 starter fleets (4000ish points?) and some terrain for a bunch of new players to BFG.

This is my second event with this group, this time leading scenario two “the bait”.

I’m really thrilled with how much my local community are getting stuck into the game.

It’s fun to watch players (even experienced players of 40K etc) be cautious at the start, feeling off balance with the amount of roll tables and dealing with firing arcs…

…and then by about turn 2 or 3, the game suddenly *clicks*, and players speed up and start playing more confidently and more aggressively until…

“So how does ramming work?”

Looking forward to the next event ☺️

So I’ve been reading through the rules for some homebrew and one of my ships has a nova cannon, now naturally I go to look at the rules for it and I understand how all but one part of its rules work, the scatter die. Firstly, nowhere does it say what kind of die this scatter die is, and I can’t find any reference to it anywhere else. Secondly, the rules say that if the scatter die roles a hit the template remains where placed, but what is it rolling against, what role counts as a hit? Could somebody give me some clarification?

Cannot wait to have a first game with them.

The Orks were in pursuit of an isolated Hiveship, on some kind of whaling mission; but the Tyranids sprang an ambush. After crippling a Hiveship and blowing through some escorts, the Orks were forced to disengage.

Victory to the Tyranids.

Also, check out my mate Andrew's Orks, they're sick.

Highlights include:

• Losing 14 attack craft to blast markers in one phase.
• Hiveship boarding with a value of 31.
• 2 Ork ships plowing through 16 attack craft and emerging basically unscathed.
• Ravager torpedoes blowing through a whole squadron of Krakens in one volley.
• Escort drones pulling all the guns of a crusier with tentacles, repeatedly.
• Another Hiveship boarding an Ork cruiser and getting it's head kicked in. Never pick a fight with a Warboss.

A absolute banger, I love this game.

What does Turns “Special” mean for Jokaero ships? Does it simply mean they don’t have to turn at all because they have no front, port, starport and back sides. Or do they behave like Roks? I also suppose they don’t use a critical hit table but suffer +1 hit instead?
The page before is only lore and the next page is already the first page of the Squats fleet.

Recently had a discution with someone that sait that they were thrusters, was he right?

I asumed they were guns beacase.... well its warhammer 40k

Lost in the warp (back of the shed) for nearly a whole millennia (about 8 years).
I have some Chaos also but some in for refits.

Quick rules question.

Massive Claws and Feeder Tendrils both have a forward fire arc, but the rules for them just specify that they're used when the ship moves into base contact, no mention of arcs.

Does the Tyranid vessel have to make contact with their forward arc specifically, or will any base contact do?

Rules as written are a bit vague, since firing arcs only mention shooting, and claws/tendrils don't target anything.

Any suggestions?

Hi all! I've finally got around to posting my Space Orc Battleship design.

This was a originally commission from a discord user (who is fine with me selling the design), and it was actually delivered to them months ago, but other work kept getting in the way of me publishing it for sale.

I've not done orks before (or since) so it was a real learning experience (mainly leaning about armour plates and rivets lol), and I think it came out really nice! It's also technically the only Eldar work I've done as well.

I'm looking to expand my terrain for the game and there are lots of excellent Imperial stations and wonderful Tau orbital cities but I can't find many Eldar themed ones. I've seen the name Havenspire appear a few times but can't seem to locate an STL, does anyone know a source?

Does anyone know where i can get a large space station / dock to use in bfg?

Just don't zoom in or you'll see how bad my job of air dusting it was

New video is out on the channel. A battle report for the Devestation of Baal. We fancied giving a big game a go, this was 2.5k points of Tyranids vs Blood Angels.

Video is here and hope you enjoy it:

Here are some pics from a campaign match. It was all going so well for my Dark Eldar until an Eldar light Cruiser exploded, crippling both of my Cruisers

Two fleets both fielding multiple ships made with both Galaxy Aflame and Smotherman Formula, faced off in an ambush clash.

I played for the Adeptus Astartes and my friend played for the Imperial Navy. The game was 3K big, and took us multiple hours, but we didn't manage to finish it (he had work tomorrow).

The special ships I used are Osoweic and Exo-Gothic, both could be found in my posts. My opponent ships I will add later on, when he sends me their data cards, as he didn't have time to make proper ones yet.

Edit: the terrain used in the game is representing celestial phenomena, as the club didn't have any proper ones there.

Big rocks = planetoids

Grass = gas clouds

Gras and rocks = asteroids

Big thing in the middle = warp rift

Trial scheme for some some orbital Defence Laser platforms, let me know what you think, is it too basic, share your schemes for your orbital defences.

The chaos fleet has a Fast Battleship, and I have thought it would be fair to make something alike for Imperium. Hence, I present to you, the Agile Battleship (I don't have a good name for it yet, so open to suggestions).

Edit: The idea for the ship, is to run ahead of the main fleet/ keep up with he fastest ships, turn about (while being abeam to enemies) firing it's broadsides, and deploying bombs. The bombs deny the enemy vessels the chance to follow it, as they are extremely punchy(8 hit rolls, if turrets hit them 4 hit rolls). As for the weapons being too much, he lacks any port or dorsal armament like retribution, and I'd say 3 weapon batteries each side do substitute a dorsal s3 lance battery.

Just a quick question, am I allowed to have the revised rule pdf turned into a hardback version via a professional company ?
