I think the grey knights might have a thing or two to say to the white scars for using one of their strike cruisers.



Lol

My Novamarines didn't take issue with it either:


I just love the miniature and I give rats about Grey Knights in 40k lollll

The great thing about GKs in BFG is they get to ignore all the chaos marked fleet special rules.

Lordy this game needs to come back.

Gorgeous models, fun rules, and I was even half way decent at it.

Well. I kinda implied that in my last post

I just want commercially available models and game system again. Whilst I don’t hold with third party stuff, recasts and pirated rules, that’s a rule I only apply to myself.

There’s just something about the ship design in this game. Regardless of your chosen side, the models were gorgeous and so suited to the force running them.

Sure, rules wise it was strictly 2D. But it was otherwise Age of Sail naval combat, where forward planning and positioning paid off.

Too many other games on the go, but I admire BFG from afar. I look forward to issues of Warp Rift more than White Dwarf itself.

Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

2D is better than 3D for a game in space at this scale, the third dimension is meaningless.
I really hope for BFG to make a comeback as well, I want to see new models in stores

Recently picked up Void Admiral from Amazon, it's a BFG clone with streamlined rules and battleboards like SAGA.

I'm gonna scratchbuild some ships for it and give it a go, but it might be of interest to some here, and the book is really cheap.

For me what really made BFG tick was being able to line up your Broadsides a turn or two in advance, carefully coralling the foe with Torpedo volleys in preparation.

Sure against some fleets you’d take a lot of damage getting everything into position. But when a single turn of raw firepower laid into them? Just….gorgeous.

This is also why I adore the Actually Pretty Awful Movie ‘Battleship’. That final stand man. Cinematic perfection.
