Which rules do I use? I have a lot of them saved and have no idea which ones to use?

Which version of rules do I play with?

I have this link... or is there a different link I should be looking at?

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B1Nr32u9sF3EYWQxMjcxMmItMGU1MS00NzdlLTk1YTktZWQ2MmIwYjU2ZGUz/edit?pli=1&hl=en&docId=0B1Nr32u9sF3EOGY1M2NmMDYtMjJhNi00ZTEwLTg3MmUtNjdiODIzNGNiMDY2

And with the Thunderhawk Annihilator upgrade, does this upgrade replace the regular Thunderhawk gunship or does this upgrade allow you to use both?

Furthermore, which rulebook do I use also?

Use the BFG 2010 FAQ, it gives you the options to give your cruisers +1 Shield strength and has options for weapons on them.

IIRC the annihilator upgrade allows to you use both types of thunderhawks

Use the 1.5 core rules and Armada on games workshops site- specialist games- bfg- resources. If your opponents are ok with it add in the faq2010 (fan work- unofficial). Were also working on bfg revised over on the specialist arms forum which is working to clean up the fleet lists and such, its all based off the online community input so worth a check.

Ships with THA also have standard TH.

Where can I find this FAQ? I am on the GW site but there is a ton of stuff. Sorry I am at work and trying to do multiple things, it may be in front of me but honestly I do not know what I am looking at.

And can I use

for my Space Marine fleet?

Using one of the SM lists you can take IN capital class (I personally use the Armageddon for the Nova Cannon)

Ok so those are the rules I should play?

As long as your opponent is OK with them, they are unofficial but they are written by the some of the BFG authors when GW was actually in upkeeping the game, now (Like Necromunda) it's run by the internet community

So what about the ones I posted early? What is that? And which is better to use?

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B1Nr32u9sF3EYWQxMjcxMmItMGU1MS00NzdlLTk1YTktZWQ2MmIwYjU2ZGUz/edit?pli=1&hl=en

Ok sorry, the official rules are on gw site, what you have is the community based bfg revised which is still wip.

https://drive.google.com/fe/m#MobileMainPlace:SORT_FILTER_SPEC:3,desc&PARENT_ID_FILTER_SPEC:0Bw_dULEfC3rbYzUyNjQzZTAtMDZiMS00ZjRlLWJjNzMtYTE5YmNjZjdjODQ1,Battlefleet+Gothic

That should link you to the faq2010 which has a bunch of tweak to the core rules on gw site and a few new fleet lists for some otf the newer ships. This is what most consider semi-official it was written by the bfg rule commitiee but gw pulled the specialist games support before it got their seal of approval.

Goodness theres a reason that has a tiny url too .

Oh okay thanks for the help guys...

Now do a lot of people play the revised or not really?

Well revised is still being worked on so most of the people using it are play testing. Faq 2010 with the core rules or some group of house rules based off of them seem the most common right now.

Ok thanks again.

Yeh I have a large fleet of Space Marine and never played and keep telling myself I am but... Things happen haha.

Another question...

Can you use the Terminators and Honor Guard teleport attacks in the same turn from the same ship?

So lets say i have a battle barge with a master of the fleet and give it termies and honor guard... Can I use both the termies and the honor guard in the same turn?

I believe so, but I've never used them so I'm not a great source

The official rules are down on the gw site... Where can I find official rules now?

Hi,
here:
-link removed by insaniak. Please do not post links to copyright material.-
link is in the first post.

If I bought armada and the core rulebook all I need is the 2010faq right and them I'm good to go?

I looked at the link you provided and it seems like everything isn't there or I am just not seeing them.

Hey,
the top link from that thread:Has the rulebook and armada as complete pdf's, not single documents like GW had.

The Ships of Mars/AdMech file is just a neater version of the GW version.


The only file there which wasn't on the GW site are the Forgeworld Tau rules. The ship compendium 1.4 is an old unofficial thing.
Plus ofcourse FaQ/Compendium 2010.

If you miss anything from the official bits (as I describe in the first post over on specialist games) let me know.

EDIT

Figured it out.
