Hello all,

I have spent some time this morning looking trough the Chaos Fleet list that afterimagedan is hosting here:
http://afterimagedan.blogspot.co.uk/p/as-any-of-you-know-i-am-supporter-and.html
This is, I believe, the now finished BFGR Chaos List. Has the Vengeful Spirit been removed?

I've been trying to find reference to the Vengeful Spirit in that list but cannot seem to find it. I've been searching this thread but can only find reference to a points increase for the VS. I thought I remembered seeing a proposition that it be dropped all together in favour of using the Despoiler Battleship, but this has a significantly different profile, and doesn't mention the Venegful Spirit as a historic ship (not that it necessarily should). A copy of the BFG: Chaos list I have from May of this year has a listing for the VS, but that document is substantially different to the 'current' one.

Can anyone shed some light on the Vengeful Spirit for me? I apologise if this is revisiting previous discussions, but I cannot find any reference to it.

It appears I was too quick and trusted in my meagre search skills too much! 

I have found the thread where this decision was made, the relevant part being:

Wohoo! Talking time...
One question first. I'm looking at the beta pdf afterimagedan put together on his site. Is this the Despoiler class we're taking in? I really hope so, because the bigger part of my thoughts is based on it.

• Vengeful Spirit: Drop it.
  Despoiler class and Chaos Battle Barge are almost the same ship. And since the previous works on BFG:R^Plaxor "repaired" the Despoiler, the Vengeful Spirit won't be needed anymore. If there's need we could add similar upgrades to the Despoiler entry. But there's only one option left that would be missing... changing the dorsal lances to "str 4 / 45cm  (+10pts)".
  ...
  Brethren
  

So a clear decision which does make it simpler and more straight forward. For completeness' sake, could I suggest that some text be added to the fluff/description to indicate the Despoiler class as representative of the Vengeful Spirit? Appreciate that might not be too easy to do, but no mention at all of the Black Legion/Abaddon's flagship seems amiss to me! 

Cheers,

Ok guys, what is going on with the points cost of Marks of Chaos in the BFG:R Chaos Fleets pdf?

p33) Chaos Undivided 25 points, all other marks 15 points

p38) Gothic Sector Incursion Fleet List. May take marks, but there are no point costs

p39) Abbadon Black Crusade Fleet List. May take marks, but there are no point costs

p40) Chaos Renegade Fleet List. May take marks, but there are no point costs

p41, 42, 43, 44) God Fleet lists may take marks for 35 points

Are marks supposed to be 15 or 35 points?

Thanks,

Tim
