Finishing BFG:Revised

[afterimagedan]

Definitely! All the PDFs are public at this point and the Imperial Navy is the only finished one. If you are up for it, proofreading would be very helpful! Please let me know if you find anything.

Hi, sorry if this is answered already elsewhere, but there are a lot of documents for BFG:R and I was just wondering if all of it/bits of it are finished, and if so which docs/files are the fully finished ones?

Thanks

Any of them are finished at any time you like, as it's a fan made rule set, so people will just cherry pick the ones they like anyway.  Unless you go to tournaments like Adepticon, at which point you're using FAQ 2010.

To be precise:

Revision is not yet complete.

http://afterimagedan.blogspot.com/p/as-any-of-you-know-i-am-supporter-and.html - you can see what's done and what's not here. From those not done, Dark Eldar and Chaos are already nearing completion. Most fleets are ready, as you can see. From the 'mainstream' ones only Orks and Nids still require significant amounts of work.

[Clever Ted]

That's great.

Thanks

Hi guys. I wanted to report a typo: in the Chaos fleet file, at the Slaughter entry, the prow batteries are listed twice, instead of Port Batteries.
Cheers

I'll make the change! Thanks!

OK, we have most fleets finalized, Tyranids being worked on, Chaos pretty much done, and Bakka being worked on. Time for Orks?

Unfortunately it seems that the entire BFG range is being discontinued along with other SG ranges, and is now selling out as we speak. Having recently started playing BFG I am disappointed. I have 3000 points of orks, and a number of other fleets in progress.

Nevermind. Similar to Epic, I regard the true heart of BFG as being in all the hard work put in by players here. Thank you for all the BFG-R documents produced so far that are such a great resource for a new player like myself.  I sincerely hope the BFG-R project is finished off given how close it seems to completion? I intend to continue on with BFG even if that means using other manufacturers figures for some ranges, as I think it is a great game.

Well if nothing else Nid fleets will survive as long as GW produce plastic Nid bits for 40k and Orks will never run out of ships because they can be made out of pretty much anything.

While I'd like to finish my Chaos fleet and always wanted to build an Imperial fleet AND rebuild the eldar fleet I bought as a kid only because I liked the models but then later sold before I actually started playing BFG ... I'm not willing to give GW money these days for a whole host of reasons, as if the crazy prices weren't reason enough.

On the Ork front, personally I'd love to see Orks having a system more akin to Nids. Choosing a basic hull, then having a choice of upgrades, downgrades and weapons. It just seems so un-Orky to me for them to have a dozen ship designs that are all but fixed except for a handful of options.

Seeing as that's just my feelings though it'd probably be better left to some kind of loota/scrap fleet list.

So it has come to this... [ha! always wanted to use this line in appropriate context! ]

I, for one, don't intend to quit just because there might be no models sold anymore. We're all clever people, we'll find our way around this.
We'll finish BFG:R, make it into a one complete rulebook, maybe now, when GW has abandoned us entirely, those still clinging to the official will be easier to cooperate

We'll need ways to get new players still, but that's not out of question - first of all, there are tons of other companies making spaceships in similar scale. Every single one of them cheaper. Many of those ships are great bases for building 40k vessels. Also, there is scratchbuilding. Orks, Nids and Dark Eldar have been doing it for ages anyway. Others can too.

I've been thingking about making some 'how to' articles anyway. Well, looks like they might be useful about now.

We'll finish this. And we'll live.

Well said!

Hell, been meaning to get into using plasticard, now I've got motivation!

Ebay will still be the major resource for minis, just be prepared for inflated prices
 

[AndrewChristlieb]

People already pay too much on ebay . I guess this clinches my decision to go with FSA for the Necrons Ive been planning next .

This means we also must keep things like warp rift really alive.
Plus mangozac needs to expand his range... 

[afterimagedan]

Agreed and agreed, Horizon.
