Also, I'd like more eldar and ork players if possible. While chaos is the major threat to the Imperium, there's wars where they're a minor power. And anyone wanting to be dark eldar, rogue-traders or wolf packs is also encouraged...

I'll opt for an old fashioned imperial fleet.

OK, here are some finalised icons for you all. Name goes in the top box, class goes in the bottom box, and team color goes in the pink section. The parts that should be transparent are transparent.

Also, what does everyone think of Goya's expanded campaign rules? Here
With a campaign of this size and complexity, I'm rather keen on the idea. Not only because the scope of operations, but also because damnit, if I'm running a campaign, I want those nifty extra rules!
Another thing I'm toying with, is systems that are outside of regular warp channels (Hence, Rogue Traders and Wolf Packs, at least one sub will be at the very fringe of Imperial Authority), and more complex warp-drive movement rules. For eldar players, I'm also considering a seperate, webway map that gives more of a feel of 'eldarness' by making their routes unknown to other races.
Oh, and also, an Inquistion black ship or two, which might or might not randomy tag along with imperial fleets.

I'm thinking about 8 to 10 Imperial fleets would be ideal. That'd make for one fleet per sub-sector. However, unless you're fiiilthy heretics, too many loyal to Terra would result in a distinct lack of conflict.

Are Space Marines a full-fledged side in BFG?
Either way, if I have time between crushing Tau and Necrons, I'm happy to play Da Boyz, kroozin' da kozmoz.

I'd like to keep Space Marine fleet numbers down, mind. You're always able to take an Imperial Navy fleet with a couple of space marine ships attached, if you want the best of both worlds.

I'm tempted to add one Strike Cruiser to represent a detatchment from my own chapter, the Astrum Corvus to round out my fleet.NecronLord wrote:I'd like to keep Space Marine fleet numbers down, mind.

Well, going by the Goya rules, which I rather like, it'd depend on your status as either raiders or major powers.Keevan_Colton wrote:Also, what sort of points would the starting fleets be?
Major Powers are a limited list: Imperial (or Space Marine with Imperial allies in
accordance with the Battlefleet Armageddon fleet list), Chaos, Chaos Space Marine (I'd rather just have chaos traitors here, though...), Ork Waaagh, or Craftworld Eldar. These players start off with 2000 points worth of ships and control of one planet.
Any race (including the above) can be raiders, which confers the advantage of other people not knowing where your base is. In which case, they start at 1,500, but get the advantage of cutting off their logistics being much harder.
Most engagements are likely to use only 1000-1500 points, IMO, at first, because leaving one's homeworld undefended is... not smart.
Of course, as we don't have to pay for models, these numbers can be revised to any degree people think is reasonable...
