So with the slow demise of SG now, I have returned to this forum. I used to be EXTREMELY active years ago on the old forum and then it died off (Same username though) Eventually I started running my blog instead:

http://www.sepulchreofheroes.blogspot.com

(My most recent post is advocating for SG)

I am the guy who built a Lego Lunar Class Cruiser seen here:
http://www.sepulchreofheroes.blogspot.com/2009/04/bfg-fanatic-my-lego-lunar-class-cruiser.html

I also placed a large BFG order today to fill out my IN fleet some more before it is gone. And my brother is going to give me his Chaos, so I got a few this to boost that.

Here is what I own IN wise
BB
-Emperor Class
-Retribution Class
-Terra Class
-Invincible Class Fast

CB
Mars
Armageddon
Overlord

CA
Lunar x 2
Gothic x 2
Tyrant x 2
Dictator x 2
Dominator

CL
SM Strike Cruiser
Punisher Strike Cruiser

Escorts
Firestorms x 9
Falchions x 9
Cobra  x 3
Sword x 3
Escort Carrier x 3

WHAT I BOUGHT TODAY (for IN)
Apocalypse BB
Emperor BB
Admech Cruiser
4 x Plastic Cruisers
Duantless (Torpedo)

Here is what I know I have for chaos, but I need to find out mroe from my brother
Despoiler BB
Planetkiller
Acheron CB
Hades CB
Slaughter x 2
At least 4 other cruisers
at least 3 of each escort

Today I bought
Terminus Est
3 x Vengeance Grand Cruisers
4 x Chaos CA
3 x Inconclast destroyers

So my question is this: What classes should I build with all the BBs, Cruisers and Grand Cruisers. And that includes ships from the unnoficial compendiums, battlefleets bakka, etc. etc.

As well, what does it look like the future of BFG and SG as a whole will be (I love Necromunda and Aeronautica as well)

Hi,
long time no post. heh.

As for what to build:
take the fleets from the FAQ/Compendium 2010 (Battlefleet Bakka, Powers of Chaos) and build the variants listed in those ones.

I downloaded all of those last night, and as you can see I don't mind using unofficial ships (though why does Battlefleet Bakka no longer have invincible fast BB?)

I am reading over them, btu I haven't really touched BFG for so long (been in Japan over 2 years, and didn't do to much with it in College) I don't really know how things play out. Based on what I have (at least for IN) what would you recommend?

I was thinking at least a Oberon and Apocalypse BB, but should I do that? One of the curisers will be a battlecruiser, but what should they all be in your opinion. Just looking for suggestions/feedback

So I am going to go with the following BBs

Retribution
Apocalypse
Terra
Invincible
Emperor?
Undecided BB

The reason the Emperor is a question mark is because I may change it. That is because I am between the following for the undecided BB.

Nemesis
Oberon
Reprisal
Vanquisher

So if I go with the Nemesis, I feel I'd might want to drop the Emperor for something a little less, like the Reprisal.

I am on the fence about the Oberon. It just seems too weak at a single thing to be good...
