Subject: [BFG] Which/army fleet should I choose?

Wondering Why the Emperor Left
|
I use to play Battle Fleet Gothic in high school and was wondering which army or fleet to play as. With BFG like the Chaos navy, but i'm sure the rules have changed some, and i'm thinking of getting one of the armies.

Why is this thread in " 40K army lists"??? 
|
It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

Aside from a 2010 FAQ( https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0Bw_dULEfC3rbYzUyNjQzZTAtMDZiMS00ZjRlLWJjNzMtYTE5YmNjZjdjODQ1&sort=name&layout=list&num=50) I doubt the rules have changed since you last played.
BFG hasn't had any attention from GW for a long time. But thats a good thing. The rules and fleets(with the above FAQ) are fine as they are.

I seem to remember getting my ass handed to me by Orcs and Chaos on a regular basis - stay away from Eldar, they were so difficult to do anything with. Unless you're looking for a challenge that is, in which case eldar are your first port of call.

Corsair Eldar are one of the best in a good surrounding.
The official Eldar do have problems though.
If you learn Eldar you learn how to play Eldar, not how to play Battlefleet Gothic.
Grey Templar is correct.

I will say that an ork fleet with nothing but Roks can be a PitA.
My SM fleet got wiped out on turn 3 once, even with 6+ armor. When roks roll nothing but 6s for the number of torpedos your armor doesn't matter.
300 torpedos is a frightining sight.
