Topic: Battlefleet Gothic Imperial Designs

Hi all,

We will probably be running a Starmada game at GenCon this year, so I've been working on designs to use my BFG Imperial Navy vessels.  I have posted the conversions here:

I decided that for my broadsides fleets, I would give the ships the IJKL firing arcs, which means the cruisers can only use one broadside at a time (it saves a lot of points that you are paying for weapons you are extremely unlikely to use.) I also used seekers to represent fighter squadrons.

Hopefully I'll get to test out these designs this week or next.

Re: Battlefleet Gothic Imperial Designs

I have updated my Battlefleet Gothic Imperial ship designs, which now include the larger vessels (battlecruisers, grand cruisers, and battleships.

This is my Starmada Nova Edition webpage:

And here is the pdf with the ship designs:

I tried to keep the designs simple, and to not include too many special abilities and firing arcs (thing which slow our games down a lot).  Hopefully, we'll try them out next Thursday.  I will likely add the Space Marine vessels in the next couple of days.

Re: Battlefleet Gothic Imperial Designs

Hello Steve,
These designs look great!  8-)
I have friends here who have Battlefleet Gothis ships and will invite them to use your designs.  I like that you have many weapons that fire out to 18.  That is the maximum range we use here for ships.  Only Bases can use range 24 & 30 in games we play here.
Cheers
