I'm available to play a match with anyone who wants to today, thanks to my having a shitty cold. I work as a strength coach at a university so I can't do shit if I'm sick.

MBS BFG Campaign 2 / Pickup Game Thread

I was hoping to play my match with LT Dan tonight, but he doesn't seem to be on right now. So I figured that I would check to see if anyone else is available to play a match tonight. My idea for this thread is that if you plan to be available on any given day just post in this thread "Hey guys I'm on now" and such.

That's a "Venerable Battlebarge", its perfectly fine given the restrictions. You'll only ever have 1 of them and the launch capacity is reduced a bit. In my book at least thats no mpre broken than any other battleship. You can use Chaos ships as well as the base for such a ship.

MBS BFG Campaign 2 / Some extra resources
« on: January 16, 2017, 09:59:45 pm »
I've found a few extra resources which might be useful for the campaign.
First off here is an excerpt from the BFG 2002 annual which includes the pro and elder refit and crew skill tables: https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/ab5e896b-e624-4125-b35b-4a59a30fe44a
Next is a copy of the BFG warpstorm magazine which has rules for generating sector maps and for integrating 40k into BFG campaigns: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-wR-vWAMWnqajhKWS1ucnpteUE/view?usp=drivesdk
And last is a very well design advanced campaign system. This system keeps track of individual ships and overall is very cool, I'd be interested in giving it a try in the future.

I'd recommend the BFG:XR Fleets of the Adeptus Astartes codex if you want to build a larger scale fleet. Space Marines suffered in the original game for having 5 ships with effectively 0 options, and from the fact that strike cruisers weren't very good. The BFG:XR rules use the lore concept that Strike Cruiser and Battle Barge are actually terms used to describe a wide array of vessels of similar displacement utilized by the chapters. As such a Strike Cruiser has a few alternative builds you can choose from when you construct it, allowing you to carry torpedoes instead of thunderhawks for example. Also it has the rules for Thunderhawk Annihilators, bomber variants introduced in Into the Warp, and the Battlebarge variants incorporated as well.
So again the majority of the fleet list is identical, just with all the options which were introduced over time. The only real change is that you can take a second shield for strike cruisers for 15 points, which makes them a very viable ship.

Call me crazy here but I'll take the Kittery Reach.
As for the upgrades vs refits I'd be happy to have them work as refits and increase my cost by 10% or the listed cost, whichever is greater. I just didn't want to make a ship at the start with a Kustom Force Field. Going forwards I may.

MBS BFG Campaign 2 / Campaign Tokens and Markers
« on: January 16, 2017, 02:19:37 am »
If people need markers for ships, bases, and owning planets here are a bunch of tokens I made for a campaign I ran a decade ago in college, amazingly I managed to find them.
I tried putting the images in this post but apparently this forum doesn't want to show them, so here is the gallery: https://goo.gl/photos/1zSbdBpZKr4JD386A

I'll happily use the Waaagh list and have a revealed base system.
One question I have is that my ships each have access to Ork refits in their listed cost, during the campaign can I spend a refit appeal to purchase one of those upgrades? Things like Kustom Force Field and the like. That's the overall guidance with the list, they just incorporated them into the core list with points values for players who aren't running a campaign.

******************ORIGINAL POST:*********************
So I need people's feedback to build my list. The issue is that in the rules compendium there are 3-4 rules sources for Orks. There is the original fleet list in the core BFG rulebook, the expanded list in BFG Armada, the Ork Clanz rules from into the warp, and a few other things from into the warp as well. Given that we are using rules which are 7 years out of date that's what I have to work with list building wise.
For the campaign there are 2 fleet lists I can pull from. There is the original Ork Pirate Fleet list from the core rules, with its whopping 6 ships to choose from...
Its not a viable faction or much fun to use.
Alternatively I can run the Ork WAAAAGH!!! fleet list from BFG Armada, that has NEARLY the full array of Ork vessels as options. The Ork Clanz article has a LOT of extra crap which is rather poorly written and not really very functional but it did add our one Lite Krooser option.
I'd prefer to just use the current Ork rules from the BFG:XR community. That way I have one list to pull from with all of the rules from all sources in a single document and without the old balance issues. Note this means I can't make the mega torpedo doomsday cheese list (10d6+20 torpedoes per salvo in 10 seperate stands with rerolls and leadership bonuses to reload. Its only about 350 points.). The original rules allow me to.
So aside from that request I also need to know whether I have 2000 points as a full player or if I am stuck with the 1500 that NPC pirate factions get. I say NPC as the original campaign rules system specifies that I cannot win, claim territory, or fight larger games...
If anyone lives in New England, USA we could play in person.
