Some new Battlefleet Gothic fleets

If Wanktastic means what I'm pretty sure it means, thankyou, that's what I was going for.

I don't like wank.

I also appreciate the comment on the balance - I tested them relatively rigorously, and all their armaments and stats are derived more-or-less consistently from the values in Battlefleet Gothic.

Nice, try expanding the fleets with your own designs. BFG is rather limited.

Yes, it means obscene/overpowered. We've had some BFG ships before which were more loosely interpreted... to the point that someone had rather over-read into the fluff and their blasters could one-shot a Cronus, or something. Oh, and they had a ridiculous amount of aegis shielding to represent the Void Shields, IIRC.

Suffice to say, I never used those.

These, on the other hand...

Seconded. Anyone who doesn't agree is an idiot.

*Hands big check*

I present to you this check for the awsomest (sp?) ship collection I have ever seen.

*Hands smaller check*

That one's just for being Warhammer 40k.

I have to concur. Being a light fan of the Warhammer 40,000K series, I know of many of those ships. I think you did an excellent job. I also like your Orc fleet. It really mimics their creed of "put it together as long as it works", especially the large orc ship, ha ha ha. I really like the blacks ships. They have a certain appeal to me.

The others were alright, but the Orkz were brilliant.

I like the fact that they all have a playable size.

Space hulk = win.

Thankyou everybody

I'm glad people like the Ork ships - I believe they are technically some of the least accurate since I've never seen an orcish ship model, so I pretty much had to do what I could to copy the "toothy and ragged" look they seem to have.

I'm working on a "campaign" (bundle of encounters) using these ships. They'll be a bit repetitive until [ I figure out how to / th15 makes it possible to ] set victory conditions other than "destroy all the baddies," but I like having storyline. I'm starting with the Tau because I find the Tau 'gothic' storyline very glamorous (they start off blundering into space with HUGE, clumsy colony/exploration vessels, and their ships get steadily smaller, more deadly and more attractive as they improve)

Oh yeah, something I forgot to mention

Not ALL of the ships I made are in these images. There is also (a broad interpretation of) the Chaos Planet Killer, Active and Inactive Blackstones, a Space Station and a Ramiles Star Fort.

If anyone ends up with balance comments, post 'em here for the greater good
