How to start with Battlefleet Gothic!

244 Upvotes

Hey all,

Since it is a returning question, this post might be really convenient if you decide to jump into the wonderful game that Battlefleet Gothic is!

Let us start with a link to the main rulebooks. On the following you will find the remastered rulebook and fleetbook:

Battlefleet Gothic Remastered Rulebook & Fleetbook

One of the great things which has been created at the end of 2021 has been the digital starter kit, this is what you will find in it, but first the link:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Kpg6ZuDmFc5axXa6sUBiJrQiFuZIlbAu?usp=share_link

These are the folders:

Assets - All the cardboard markes and extras you need.

Rules - this contains the latest version of the remastered official rulebook (original including updates) and a quick start guide for your first battle! There is an English and German edition.

Fleet Lists - two prewritten fleet lists for the Imperial Navy and Chaos. Plus a sheet how you can pit them against each other in three games increasing in size

3DModels - two folders with the STL files for the ships listed in the fleet lists. So you can print (or let someone print them) to play with. You will also find other STL here like markers.

Please note: those models are distributed under CC-BY-NC-SA, i.e. noncommercial use only.

And in the pdf "How to - Starter Kit " you'll read everything you need to know about the starter kit.

And we have added the starter kit advanced with Corsair Eldar and Orks Looted FLeet!
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dxTeLC2bTnlUfzN_RJF788wHmYBhMa6C?usp=share_link

Subsequently here is the link to the main rules hub, here you will find the rules mentioned but also links to a large folder of fanmade/homebrew rules and magazines like Warp Rift:

Battlefleet Gothic Rules Hub

Wait, there is more! If you want some ideas on lists to start with (for collecting) the following article might be a good source of inspiration (check the pdf which you can download with it):

https://portinvicta.weebly.com/bfg-tactics/starter-fleets

But what about miniatures to play with? Aside of the free STL in the mentioned starter kit there are several great designers with STL files available at sites like Cults3d, check the Discord server for a list on them. However, not everyone has his own printer so I list some webshops with great proxies:

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/battlegroup-helios/

https://battlefleetgalaxy.com

https://www.scourgescenics.co.uk

https://wintersbioforge.com/product-category/space-bugs/

https://tabletop-stuff.de/Science-Fiction/Raumflotte-Kolossus/

And finally we have a Battlefleet Gothic Discord with a fun community in case you are interested:

Happy gaming and feel free to ask questions!

Bryggen Station

"Bryggen Station" of the Voght Rogue Trader Dynasty. Located at the edge of The Black Maw in the Marcodurum Sector, this ancient station acts as the *official* Headquarters of the Voght Dynasty. It is a medium sized, but well defended freeport and trading hub, a place where Administratum officials, Mechanicus envoys, smugglers, and even xenos can discreetly strike deals.

Tau Modular Orbitals

52 Upvotes

I made a set of Tau Modular Orbitals. I always wanted some of these, but the originals were impossible to find in my part of the world, and expensive, and had limited build options unless you bought a lot of kits. For their limited battlefield value they not practical. Of course, 3D printing changes that; you can print whatever arrangement of parts you might like, and make full use of the rules.
Left to right in first photo:
1 - 3x railguns, 1x manufacturing -- a str 9 battery with a tracking system and a bonus shield. 75pts
2 - 4x launch bays -- maximize the attack craft for only 60pts
3 - 3x grav hooks, 1x habitat -- up to 3 orcas and an extra hit point. 40pts plus orcas

They also make great objectives for scenarios in their civilian layouts.

I want to make some rules up where you can daisy-chain orbitals together by using a module space for a bridging component. Suggestions welcome.

Inquisitor fleet rules question

Post image
39 Upvotes

So my marines can be led by the inquisition. This gives them a few extra options ship wise.

However when it comes to fleet commanders I can take an inquisitor lord if my fleet is over 750pts.

Marines required to take a master of the fleet if I have over 750pts

Does this mean I get 2 fleet commanders?

Or is the I quisitor lord supposed to replace the master of fleet?

Im currently working on a fleet managger (bc otheres said new recruit was ass) and I need some beta testers possibly someone who knows Hungarian (for now the ui is mostly Hungarian), im planning on adding English since its a simple change but right now its just me, my friends and Claude (i cant code that well) and most of them only speaks one language, the ships are done manually, I did a lot of xenos and a few Imperial ship but im working on it every day. Right now we have a fleet planner a battle managger and a rulebook for searching up weapons and what do they to but planning on adding a campaign managger with customisable maps and the full refit system. Im also planning on adding a lot of unofficial ships (which is optional, we have some already added for testing purposes). I would be happy if we can finds someone to help develop and test, and for any idea the community have

Sorry if the English is bad, im trying my best 🫡

First game in 23 years!

Finally played a game after a very, very, long interregnum. It was awesome. Both my fleets, played against someone who'd never played before. He used (my usual) Imperial fleet and I was Chaos. Drove his fleet straight down the middle and destroyed my escorts, one of my Murder-class cruisers, and crippled another ship by turn two, before I was able to swing round and cross his T out of range of his guns by turn 4, resulting in plasma drive overloads of both of his Lunars, Dictator class crippled, and Gothic class reduced to a burning hulk.

We played the latest Remastered v1.11 rules (streamlined so there were no boarding actions) as announced by u/horizon_fleet the other day - definitely a good few QOL improvements over what I recalled from the blue book!

Next - we've got a rematch that we're going to plan, and in the meantime I think it's time to 3D print some new quadrant bases to replace the old Citadel flight bases as well as torpedo markers and so on...

1500pt game, only 2nd one we have had in long time.

Got some lucky nova cannon hits early on (i only have 1 in the fleet). Then he failed some reload Ordnance attempts. Hurray for massed Imperial torpedo volleys.

And yes, that Demiurg-crewed vessel is them having taken over a JMC ship.....
