Black Templars Battle Barge

Yes it is Battlefleet Gothic! A truly amazing game. In my opinion, a more balanced game than both 40K (which is a joke when it comes to balance) and Fantasy.

So this is my first ship I have purchased. Right now I'm waiting on my Stirke Cruisers to come in the mail. I'm pretty excited. Thinking about having 6 Cruisers. They are just little tanks which a decent amount of Hit Points and a 6+ armor all around I believe. If you haven't played Battlefleet Gothic before, your armor save is what your opponent has to roll in order to damage your ship. Unless your a Space Marine Battlebarge with Bombardment Cannons. Damage on a 4+ and Crit on a 4+ I believe.


So this is it, Sigismund's Light.

Looks pretty big. Is it very detailed? Looks like a fair few flat panels on it (which would probably make it a lot easier to paint ) Is it finished?

Also, that stand is huuuuuge! How many ships do you need in an army/fleet? Seems like a loooot of storage space required. Takes it off my list of games I'm able to play Looks pretty rad though!

 

It's looking good.

I agree that Gothic is a great game, but I don't think it's anywhere near balanced unfortunately. So many ship configurations are simply better than others and some fleets are just crazy powerful. As a friendly game with people using reasonable fleets it is a lot of fun though.

 

The worst thing I have seen so far is the SM Bombardment cannon really. And that's easily countered. Stay out of range.

Anyway, it is easy to paint. But it's a pain because there are a lot of recesses. Walls everywhere. So it takes a while to get all of the white primer covered.
For it's size though it has a lot of detail. I can't wait to get the star map/chart painted onto the base.
