Some more Imperial ship images (Spare 32mm bases fill in really well for lost/broken flying bases) The Adeptus Mechanicus Ark, the Battlebarge, the strike cruiser and the inquisitorial apocalypse battleship were added recently.Ĭloseup of the cruisers showing the detailing. The half that is painted in a light brown is my colour scheme, the other half was sold to me by a friend. Adding to the overall feeling of the chaos invasion of an imperial world which depending on the outcome on the ground will lead back to a game of battlefleet to drive off the chaos forces or rescue the imperial forces stranded planetside. Over the same period a space marine tactical squad has risen in price from £18 to £25 (A 38% rise) so barring the battleships it is still rather inexpensive to get a small battlefleet gothic fleet.įast forward to today and recently we used a battlefleet gothic mission as part of a Warhammer 40k narrative campaign. On ebay today a cobra would cost you between £2 and £5 a single cruiser between £5 and £15 and battleships now sell for £40+. Originally a cobra destroyer was £2, 2 cruisers were £10 and a battleship was £18. The discrepancy between what the models cost during their release and now is a strange one. Following on from playing a few small games with my current gaming group I expanded the fleets to include more variety which led to ebay.

We then placed planets, defences and the imperial fleet before we started the game. ![]() The chaos team had three blackstone fortresses and entered from one of the short table edges while the other short table edge was marked with a half sun marker. Having just been released recently at the time we used the armarda update and played a custom scenario based on one of the final actions of the gothic war. Moving with the times the fleets we owned expanded which led us to play a massive 16000 points game on an 8” by 4” table. The game was immediately picked up by my then gaming group and we ran through a long running campaign which due to the relatively easy to acquire spares and parts at that time coupled with the conversions shown in the rulebook we each customised our battleships as we earned refits and upgrades. ![]() As well as a rulebook, two measuring rulers, a small comic that doubled as the assembly instructions some normal dice, six special order dice, two quick reference cards, fleet listing sheets and a large quantity of counters. ![]() ![]() Now then, back to battlefleet gothic, the original boxed game came with four imperial and four chaos cruisers.
