GodEmperorOfMankind Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Greetings! I've just acquired a sizable chaos fleet, this consists of the following: Despoiler x1 Styx x 4 Slaughter x 7 Murder x 1 Hades x 2 Devastation x 4 Unmade x 3 Suggestions please on what to make the other 3 ships into, and what else (if anything) I could use to round out my fleet with. Many thanks Ad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252263-bfg-chaos-fleet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
horizon Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 That's a lot! That is many Slaughters! to do: 1x Acheron 2x Carnage Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252263-bfg-chaos-fleet/#findComment-3059987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 It was a great deal! This armada hasn't even joined forces with my original fleet (I've recently moved and have yet to pick up my fleet) So it'll be even bigger when they come together (I have planet killer,despoiler and repulsive in my other fleet) Is it worth refitting any of the slaughters or other ships? I have 4 styx, and at least another in my other fleet. Why those ships horizon? I notice no one seems to give any love to the later released ships, any reason for that? Worth changing my desolator to a battlebarge? Cheers guys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252263-bfg-chaos-fleet/#findComment-3060055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hail! That is one massive, massive fleet that you have accumulated!! Good stuff. I would love to see how you have done the paint scheme on them. With regards to the ships, I have noticed (on my VAST experience of ONE game...), that the Carnage is a monster...against Eldar. Ditto for the Slaughter, which "can" be good, depending on the circumstances. The Styx I have no experience with, but I think that the Acheron is useful against most Imperial fleets (Navy and Space Marines...).

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hi, thanks! The paint scheme currently is a collection of different ones, as I've not yet had time to standardize them. Happy to get pics of the various schemes though? Thanks for the input regarding ships. In the fluff it's stated there was only one Acheron built, do you think it's possible a dark forgeworld could have built more?

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Just a couple of pics to show you the fleet. http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg586/clarkus-maximus/BFG/IMG_0537.jpg Here is one of the pink ones up close, I'm guessing is was Slannesh :devil: http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg586/clarkus-maximus/BFG/IMG_0541.jpg And this is most likely how I'll be painting all of them, minus the Khorne markings: http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg586/clarkus-maximus/BFG/IMG_0540.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252263-bfg-chaos-fleet/#findComment-3060088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Looking really good, I love Chaos fleets designs, really agressive. About your tyranid cruiser, I love it and I don't understand why it was closed, in fact, all imperial fleet related topics should be closed, because the navy isn't power armoured. I feel sad because you first cruiser looked awesome. Keep up the great job !

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If you read through that section of the board rules, Imperial Navy, Inquisition, AdMech, and Daemons are all allowed to be posted. But that's a very nice fleet you have there. The detail work is incredible. And across that many ships, too. I want to see a full-fleet pic as soon as you have one.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 @Vesper, Thanks for saying. I'll be posting up the tyranid cruiser on the specialist games forum, I guess I just got a little over excited with all the BFG-ness. Gonna enter it into gothicomp I reckon :) @Ignis, thanks for the kind words though I can't take credit as these were how they were painted when I bought them. I plan on using the black/red colour scheme on all of them so will post pics with my handy work. Anyone any ideas on why the newer chaos ships get no love?

horizon Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 What do you mean with newer Chaos ships? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252263-bfg-chaos-fleet/#findComment-3062768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi Horizon I mean The Hecate and Inferno class ships from the 2010 Compendium, and the battlebarges that are in there as well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252263-bfg-chaos-fleet/#findComment-3063108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
horizon Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I dunno. They are quite new and all pretty background drives ships, especially the barges. Take'em if you like'em.
