Why do Chaos ships look the way they do? Do certain chaos factions favor certain ship types?

Been playing Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2, and I'm wondering about where Chaos ships get their aesthetic from. Obviously different Chaos factions fell to Chaos for different reasons, but all the Chaos ship types are lumped together in the fleet editor. I want to know what fleet compositions would be favored by certain factions, specifically a) Alpha Legion b) Dark Mechanicum and c) Iron Warriors. Thanks in advance!

The Meta?

I haven't played for over a decade, are the rules still the same as they were? When was the most recent update? And what is the "meta" at the moment. I am and always will be an Ork Player, so where do they rank?

List Feedback?

Hey, thinking of getting into BFG and wanting to finalise my lists before I start rushing out to buy models. Can I get advice on how viable these armies would be?

Corsair Eldar 1000pts

1x Eclipse Cruiser, Pirate Prince

2x Aurora Class Cruisers

3x Aconite Frigates

5x Nightshade Destroyers

Hive Fleet 1000pts

2x Hive Ship w/ Boarding Torpedoes, 4x Launch Bays

5x Krakens w/ Pyro-acid

12x Escort Drones w/ Feeder Tendrils

The Eldar I'm planning to run like regular Eldar, lots of hit and run with torpedos and lances. The Hive Fleet is going to be the Escort Drones rushing forward to disrupt the enemy and screen while the Hive Ships get close, while the Krakens use their maneuverability and Pyro-acid to chase away anyone trying to get around the flanks.

How viable would these lists/strategies be in-game?

Storage advice for fleets

Basically what the title says. I have Imperial Navy, Chaos and Eldar fleets with metal, plastic and resin models and I am looking for options for storing/transporting them?

Has anyone found a way to paint holofields?

As per title. I have seen beautifully painted ships of all factions, but I have never seen an Eldar ship that is painted to show its holofields are active. As anyone done this? And if so could you give advice?

Tyranid Escort Question

So I found that my local group has a (tiny) cadre of BFG players and I’m finally pulling the trigger on getting a fleet made, and going tyranid. I am a bit confused about how they handle escorts. Their rules state that per hive ship you must have 6-12 escort drones. Do these have to be in the same squadron? Could I have two squadrons of 4? Three squadrons of 2? Same question regarding their other escorts, can I just mix and match squadrons with their Krakens and Vanguards?

What 3d printer would you all recommend?

Hello everyone, I'm aware that official models are no longer being sold and will require 3d printed minis. Unless of course they somehow decide to bring the game back. For those of you with a 3d printer which would you recommend? Id like a printer of a decent print quality. One that doesn't require much or any clean up. As I am decently worried about having to clean up such a small print.

Thank you!
