Seahawk Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 So, I finally got my friends to start bringing their BFG again, and even convinced another to start this week, woot! Last week we threw a game together, 2v1. Since they had smaller fleets it was them who allied up against my Chaos fleet. I got to bust out my swank swag that I won from last year: the space board! Without further adieu... IN/EldarMars Battlecruiser - AdmiralTyrant CruiserLunar CruiserDauntless Light CruiserDauntless Light Cruiser - torpedoes Void Stalker Battleship - Prince2 Hellebore Frigates4 Hemlock Destroyers6 Nightshade Destroyers ChaosHades Heavy Cruiser - WarmasterHades Heavy CruiserDauntless Cruiser - Chaos LordDauntless CruiserCarnage Cruiser - Chaos LordCarnage CruiserSlaughter Cruiser - Chaos LordSlaughter CruiserSlaughter CruiserSlaughter Cruiser We played the fleet engagement scenario, wedge vs wedge. My wedge was more wedgy! First couple turns resulted in sporadic damage; the most amusing was a Nightshade going splat in the gas cloud. Also notable was the Slaughters rocketing up 46cm to get right in their face turn 1. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/bfg%20campaign/IMG_20150326_193202_327.jpg They then promptly braced for impact. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/bfg%20campaign/IMG_20150326_193258_490.jpg The Carnage squadron and Hades squadron stayed locked on for the first few turns, forcing brace checks left and right and suppressing the right flank until I was able to close the distance. Even the Eldar stayed away. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/bfg%20campaign/IMG_20150326_202405_074.jpg You'll notice on the lower right that there's a maelstrom of sorts; we treated that as a warp rift, and I totally forgot about it, resulting in one of the Devastations being lost in the warp. As the fleets really started to mingle, a couple teleport attacks and a boarding action happened, and I also butt-rammed the Mars with a Slaughter! Unfortunately, it caused only one damage to him and two to me...d'oh! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/bfg%20campaign/IMG_20150326_212329_001.jpg Near the end, I boxed in the Void Stalker with nearly the entire remaining fleet. With nowhere to run, he tried to run the blockade, but with a successful burn retros check, the Carnages checked their long sweep around the asteroids and came about directly in front of it. Despite all the penalties, I still had 11 dice to throw his way, and he critically failed to BFI. The resulting broadside tore away all the defenses and maneuverability, leaving it dangerously vulnerable for the other ships to engage at range with no undue penalties, who subsequently pummeled the battleship to space dust. Victory went to Chaos! And quite convincingly so, after the drubbing my other ships took. Gotta love being set on fire...

UndeadTaxman Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Never really read or seen any of BFG but this battle report was really good!

Captain Tezdal Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Awesome battle report. My nostalgia is really kicking in, tempted to dig out my old Ork Fleet and maybe cruise ebay for some outrageously priced Bfg minis.

Seahawk Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Glad the report was enjoyed! You can look forward to more in the coming weeks as one guy starts Orks and another converts up some Dark Eldar. Ork ships actually tend to be mostly reasonable! The furor has died down some, and with lots of people dumping their collections hoping for a get rich quick scheme, the market is bigger than before.

Seahawk Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 It came from these guys: http://www.hangar18miniatures.com/ But I think that was a one-off thing they did. Sorry I can't help more!

Dono1979 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Love the board and so glad to see more and more BFG coming to back to life, we recently resurrected the game in Canberra and are now running monthly Campaigns for more than a dozen people.

Kythnos Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks for the battle report! I'm still working on getting my local group into investing into BFG. But they all want to build up their 40k forces first ^^" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305333-bfg-2k-battle-report/#findComment-4000421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
