Horus Heresy Battlefleet game?


Recommended Posts

Forgeworld HH BFG also known as a license to print money. Alan Bligh is a big BFG fan and he pushed for the rules to appear in the badab war books I believe. GW will probably kibosh any attempts unfortunately even though it would make perfect sense to release it as part of the HH series.

 

Imagine the glorious resin ships!

I think it'd have to be a smaller scale than regular bfg for the reasons of: larger fleet sizes and bigger capitol ships. There would be no room on a gaming table if you kept the ships to regular bfg scale, just imagine the size of the word bearer king ships!

Considering they have done BFG in the past, the precedence is there for a range of vessels to be made, from mighty Gloriana class ships to the more lowly Thunderbolt heavy frigates. Hell, perhaps a unique ship or two would be nice... 

 

If it happens - it would be insanely popular. People pay 'resin' prices and above for all the old stuff as is!

 

 

 

 

Just play BFG most of the Imperial ships date to HH and Before. Just paint the ships in the legion colours.

yeah, problem is, GW has dropped BFG for a while ....

 

ebay.

 

that's no good solution ...

 

 

There are a number of alternatives, ebay is one of them and expensive. There are also a huge number of 3D prints available for various ships and look alikes, although costly they are still pretty cool. Lastly I know of a group who are currently creating 30K style ships to be used in BFG, I understand that they are hoping to launch mid next year.

 

Dono I would love more details on that. Is this a private group or can I find out more somewhere?

 

Not completely public as yet, they have a few posts around the traps, but certainly laying low until they have a solid product range to prevent too much hype from generating. I will flick you a PM.

Any chance you could PM me as well Dono? My friends and I have been looking for a way to add BFG to our Heresy games and this sounds like it would be the perfect solution!

The problem is, Games Workshop know exactly what the returns are likely to be on a spaceship combat game (twice over, if you count Space Fleet), and didn't consider them sufficient to keep in print the one they already had.

 

If it was at all likely to be "insanely popular", you'd still be able to buy Battlefleet Gothic. The fanatical hardcore throwing money around on ebay clearly weren't enough to sustain the range for a company of GW's size.

 

The best hope is probably that the success of X-Wing results in Fantasy Flight doing it as a pre-painted miniatures game.

I'd be all over it if they did one... trouble is, you just need less miniatures than an army; what, 1-3 battlehips, half to a dozen cruisers and a couple dozen escorts for a respectably large game? Model-wise, that's barely a 1000 point 30k army's worth of kits that FW would sell. It'll probably not happen any time soon if at all, but I'd still jump at the chance.
