Battlefleet Gothic

Hey Hey,

Gothic is a game i've always wanted to get into but never had enough people to play with. So starting in 2 weeks, most likely September 1st, i want to start a casual following for Gothic. Right now i have a Tyranid fleet and i will be starting a Chaos fleet afterwards.

I do NOT want to start a league or tournament or anything of that nature just yet. I want to keep this casual so many people have time to pick up the new game and learn its features. Eventually we will use Gothic as part of a 40k event (liek planetstrike campaign)

Let me know what you guys think of starting this off casual AND if anyone is interested!!!

I'm in IG baby torpidos away

I'm in.....My Tombworld stirs and they sense danger close by.....A small necron raider fleet is preparing to scout the local area.....

My Adept Mech fleet is in.


Anchors Aweigh, my boys
Anchors Aweigh
Farewell to foreign shores
We sail at break of day, day, day, day
Through our last night ashore
Drink to the foam
Until we meet once more
Here's wishing you a happy voyage home!

I definitely want to watch a game of this. If I like it, well count me in too!

Count me in. Space Wolves fleet being built along side my company Woot!

Wow been forever since I played Gothic, I've got my Dark Angel fleet I can pull out of the attic though. Post if you're ever looking for a game, if I'm free I'll get them out of dry dock.

Hey Frenchy.....I was talking to John Spencer last night about your idea to start some casual BFG, and he made an interesting suggestion. He said that maybe we shouldn't start so soon on this, and to start once the whole Blood Bowl craze has passed on. I think its a good suggestion, especially with some of the Blood Bowl players wanting to get in on BFG, and painting up fleets. I think we might benefit in posting that this is coming soon, and to start working on your fleets now, so we can be ready to roll once the blood bowl season has passed on.

That's a good idea. Just to let you know, our league will be completed by November.

Well I'll be studying my rule book as its been a while since Admiral Kevin has been at the helm. My fleet will be in hot stand by ready to go. So if anyone want to take a break from playing a game with a ball to command a fleet with millions of tons of space faring death, let me know. I may be busy though, I just picked up that ball game myself and looking forward to learning to play.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! -Admiral Farragut

study baby baby baby theres no studing in the world that can get you ready for all of this hotness your going down people.

I dont disagree with you at all. Thats why its just going to be casual. No league, no tournament; just a breath of fresh air from all the regular 40k and fantasy games out there. The bloodbowl league is in full effect, as well as the mordhiem thing. For those that are not in either of these campaigns, or have their teams already painted and completed, i think that BFG could be looked at as their next project. Nothing official is going to come of BFG until next year.

I have an assembled (unpainted) ork fleet. I have played BFG a couple times and never got past the fun of ramming the silly imperial ships. I think I even have enough parts left over to make a Hulk.

I am in. The eldar pirate fleet is ready to raid once more!! I also have pdf copies of the rules if anyone is interested.

Frenchy I think we need to do a team up....Cyber Bugs! More then meets the eye!

I didn't check any of the dates on this post but if the Gothic idea is still being kicked around then I"m game. I think I have like 500 points of space marines, come the end of October I"ll be able to do stuff.

Soon I'll start using my empire death star watch out for your planets.

1 question about that guys how did the death star move from planet to planet it didn't have and blue glowy things they called engines?

Oh, scooter, you should know not to ask nerd questions when there's the internet out there:


death star propulsion systems

lol What but it had no cool blue glowy things to simulate propulsion.... I’m so confused

well i can't wait to start the bfg thing, it's going to be a big part of my map campaign
