AfroCampbell Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 how awesome would it be if Forgeworld created a Battlefleet Gothic style Horus Heresy game, with each Legion getting special rules and ships, I feel i would definately purchase. Just wishlisting here.... but thought I would post anyway... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291714-horus-heresy-battlefleet-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Bearclaw Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 While that would be epic. I'd settle 'merely' for BFG being brought back at all... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291714-horus-heresy-battlefleet-game/#findComment-3702859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 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... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291714-horus-heresy-battlefleet-game/#findComment-3702871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragEmAll Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!! Â I missed out on BFG when it was in print.....so would happily throw a whole load of my hard earned money at that kind of concept :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291714-horus-heresy-battlefleet-game/#findComment-3702896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

exsanguis Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 My hope is that with the success of the X-WIng game, Forge World or GW will try to get BFG or something similar going again to bring in some $$$. They probably still have the old ship moulds in a warehouse somewhere, so it wouldn't be hard I'd imagine!

zedmeister Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 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. Â Imagine the glorious resin ships!

Dorns Templar Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 This topic came up at the HH Weekender during a seminar, and although Tony Cotrell said it had been discussed briefly, they could not do any more than that as they had neither the time or capacity in an already full schedule.

helterskelter Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 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!

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.

Lucien Eilam Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Forgeworld HH BFG also known as a license to print money. If it happens - it would be insanely popular. 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. Â 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. Â The best hope is probably that the success of X-Wing results in Fantasy Flight doing it as a pre-painted miniatures game.

Emperors Teeth Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 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.
