intriguing

[horizon]

Holds breath. I hope it is checked with BFG knowledgable people which I doubt immensely/ :/

[BaronIveagh]

I have the sneaking suspicion that I will be laughing soon.

[Admiral_d_Artagnan]

You can start laughing now if you want and it still doesn't change the fact that it's from Forgeworld which is a dubious source as well as probably doesn't even consult with BFG/HA as Horizon has posited.

I figure the same thing. 

[Hengest]

Forgeworld books, scenarios and even some equipment are rarely that balanced. Thats not their purpose.

Personally I am glad that at last a publication from GW (or a subsidiary anyway) actually recognises that BFG and BFG players still exists. The last time this happened was a couple of scenarios and background stuff in IA3

I spoke to Alan Bligh last year at the open day about BFG (along with AI). He said then that the models were still profitable to FW and he didnt think they would drop them. He did hint that there might be material on the cards.

If a writer can incorporate BFG (plus any other SG) into his books then good. If it gets a negative response though then they are unlikely to do it again.

Hey, I am glad too.

I am just sitting here thinking "Oh good, here comes the port and starboard strength 8 nova cannons with a dorsal strength 8 nova cannon space marine super 'i am utter hotness' battle barge"

[horizon]

Nah, I think more in the line of the old Seditio but like this:

8 lances per broadside @ 60cm
12 dorsal BC @ 60cm

Added is the AdMech AWR = no right shift above 30 and a 6 for lances is double hits.

plus str3 NC on the prow being LFR.

heh

6+ armour
5 deflector shields
5 turrets

and 6 t-hawk bays.

25cm speed.

OWN.

Nah, Speed 30 IN BS with 12 LBs per side, a Str 8 dorsal 60cm lance, and a blackstone mega beam on it's prow for 500 pts.  And an note form GW that it's 'official for BFG'.

More realistically, we'll probably have SC variants and Chaos SC/BB 'upgrades' with some new scenarios.

[BaronIveagh]

UPDATE: from the FW site's new pre-order section for IA 10

"A new campaign siege special mission for use with the Badab War campaign rules found in Imperial Armour Volume 9, three new Apocalypse formations, ten new special characters for the Space Marine Chapters featured in this book, new ships and fleet lists for Battlefleet Gothic and a phenomenal range of colour profiles and pictures. "

New ships?  Betting SM ships at that.

[lastspartacus]

You guys are probably right about the new ships, but with all those upgrades, they will have to cost at least like 490 or something crazy like that,
so it will balance out with 'who wants to pay for that?'

[horizon]

And a glimpse!!!

from Warseer:
There is 4 pages of bfg. One page has loyalist and secessionist fleets on. The otjer three pages have new vessals. The nicor, night hag, raptorus rex, a SM vanguard cruiser and the imperial high conveyor; massive transportd

Nicor?
Night Hag?
Raptorus Rex?
SM Vanguard Cruiser?
High Conveyor?

I see troubles with tribbles.

this....can only end in tears
