mughi3 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 just got my thousand sons fleet painted up yesterday. the revised fleet list at 1K desolator battleship warmasster with mark of tzeeench X2 devestation class cruisers 1 acheron or styx(for larger games and variety) http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/sonsfleet.jpg the paint i used played with my camera. i used a base color of metallic grey/black and overlayed it with blue, so depending on the direction of the lighting it looks more blue or grey. this shot shows a little of both. p.s. yes i know i didn't put the side "wings" on the desolator, i didn't like the way they looked.

Captain Tezdal Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Awesome, got any background on your fleet? I always thought repulsive was about best looking ship in BFG line, but you make me think twice about starting a chaos fleet besides that reason.

mughi3 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Well the funny thing about this is. BFG is cheap compared to 40K(an entire playable fleet for the equivalent cost of a single land raider). as i know i will never build any of the other armies i would like for 40K(i think the 5 i have are enough). so first i built up a grey knight force at 1K and decided both as a counter and for demo games to build up a chaos fleet. Since i alweays liked the way thousand sons looked and thier back story i decided to go that route. The fleets also operate very differently, as with most marine fleets in BFG the GKs are close ranger brawlers and masters of hit&run thunderhawk attacks. the sons fleet focus's more on long range lance battery fire and force protection. beyond that i really have not given much thought to back story. one of our imperial fleet players however does have a battle log he keeps for his fleet including commendations and such.

DuskRaider Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I always wanted to get into BFG, but no one really plays around here. Nice models! I remember there was a local tourney a few years back where a campaign was being played on both 40K and BFG level, and the BFG guys were orbital bombing the 40K table across from them... tie-ins like that are what make the game interesting, if you really wanted to you could use EVERY aspect of 40K in a HUGE campaign... 40K, BFG, Epic, Imperialis Aeronautica, and Inquisitor. Anyhow, lets us know how you fair with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.(Space)Marine Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 if you really wanted to you could use EVERY aspect of 40K in a HUGE campaign... 40K, BFG, Epic, Imperialis Aeronautica, and Inquisitor. How cool would that be? Doubt it would ever happen though, but we can always imagine... I too have been interested in BFG but have never eally gotten into it, mainly because specialist games weren't available in Australia for years. They are now though, so a specialist game of some sort is a possibility (but I doubt anyone else would want to get one with me :D ) Nice ships, I never thought I'd see a TS fleet.

Seahawk Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I kept the wings off of my desolator as well, for the exact same reason. It looks sleeker and more killy without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
