Hello all have not played bfg since the early 2000s and me and my cousin decided to get back into 20 years later. I’m going Imperial and he’s playing Necrons. Any advice for me? I’ve heard the Necrons can be pretty nasty. Thanks for taking the time.

Check it out. The channels is from Turbidious Tom. Pretty well known on Instagram and Discord. Great stuff

Which fleets do you consider most beginner friendly, possibly as a ranked Top 3?

Chaos and Imperium are probably set for most easy to begin with, but what is your personal experience?

This list is primarily for display purposes with the ability to maybe be played. As such if there are any flaws or poor decisions I have made I would love to hear. I have been to aiming to great the fleet to be flexible with a leaning towards attack craft.

Hello everyone! I'm currently trying to comprehend the rules, and I am a bit confused about shields and blast markers interaction. Would really appreciate an insight on this.

Suppose my cruiser is shooting at an enemy cruiser with 2 shields. I score one hit, his shields go down by 1 and I place a blast marker in base contact to the enemy cruiser.

Then from the rulebook: "If a ship's base is in contact with any blast markers when it is fired upon, its shield strength is reduced by 1 per blast marker."

So the question is: if I only score one hit on the shield, does the appearance of the blast marker reduce the shield by another 1 point against my further shooting on that ship (with different weapons for example)?

If I take the Chaos warmaster of Tzeentch for 100pts, it says he MUST take the mark of tzeentch. Is the mark for free or do i add the 25pts so he costs 125?

So I'm reading the part about turret suppression when you have bombers being escorted by fighters, and I'm confused about the part where fighters add +1 to the total attacks of the bombers EVEN IF they've been shot down by turrets.

What the point then in shooting turrets at the combined fighter/bomber attack? Does it only help of there are more successful turret hits then there are fighters, at which point I'll start shooting down bombers? I figure as long as you have as many fighters as the target ship has turrets, your bombers are safe during the final attack run.

Am I misunderstanding this? It seems to me like any fighters shot down by the turrets SHOULD NOT add to the member squadrons final attacks, otherwise whats the point of firing turrets if they don't affect the final bombing run?

Hi! Im super new to BFG. Im looking to collect an Imperial and a Chaos fleet that are roughly equally matched and avoided the more complicated mechanics of the game.

I don’t have anyone to play with so i’m hoping for two lists that are easy for new people to pick up when I show friends the game. Would love advice on what to build and how many points to play with. I wouldnt be showing anyone who’s new to wargaming in general so I don’t think the sizes of the games have to be that small, but certainly nothing super big. Thanks!
