Hi All,
New to the forum. Been playing 40K since 1989, but never got interested in BFG until recently. Picked up some ships about 6 months ago and ordered a bunch more with the demise of SG on the GW site.
I did some searching but could not find anything on the forum...
Suppose a person wanted to build The Death Guard fleet during the Heresy for Battlefleet Gothic? What would the list of ships look like and which BFG models would one use to build the list of ships (besides Terminus Est)?
Cadian Blood mentions that there are 26 ships in Typhus' fleet at Kathur (M41), nineteen of which seem to be capital ships.
This is what I have come up with so far. I am not very familiar with the different classes on Imperial ships yet, so can't yet identify classes from illustrations and need some help. Below is a ship list extracted from the Horus Heresy Collected Visions book and a couple from "Cadian Blood", although I am not sure that Daughter of Agony was with the fleet during the heresy.. Can anyone fill in the classes (XXX) and ship types (?) in the list below.
Any other info out there?
Thanks,
Tim
