Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 30k BFG? C-c-c-c-Yeah Baby! Oh my God, yes. Yes, yes, yes! I wonder if I could make some ship models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Saw a post awhile back someone were building BFG 3rd party parts for ships. But other than that I would not pin your hopes of a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boreas Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I Love the game... Needs a full re-haul for some armies. There a few nice projects floating around. I'd love to use my Inquisition Black ship and GK ships again. When playing WH40k, we always have some techno/metal music going on. For BFG? Nothing but "pop" classical music and/or opera!!!

Volt Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 YES! And make it three dimensional! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Antipodes Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yes for a BFG return. Even bigger Yes! For a Great Crusade and/or HH variant. Ship models should remain same scale but would not be adverse to FW pushing out larger scale versions solely for the modeller in me. Gonna dream might as well ask for all the cake as for half!

Transgressor O'Malley Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yeah, I'd be interested in a new BFG. I think GW has really dropped the ball with the specialist games. There's absolutely no reason they couldn't tap a bigger market with things like BFG and Blood Bowl. I suspect their thinking is "we want people to play our core games because those require the biggest monetary investment, so let's axe the ones it's cheap to get into". Completely missing the fact that people who want to play WHFB and 40k would still do so, and they'd keep a lot of customers who are moving to cheaper games like Infinity and Warmachine specifically because they're cheap!

*Furyou Miko Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Especially when something like Mordheim requires literally no more effort on their part than writing a book - heck, they could release it as a supplement for WHFB and it would sell.

No, we must get bigger. I want a Phalanx model scaled to the size of normal BFG capital ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly502 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 BFG was a great game! I even enjoyed the boarding actions supplement! Our local GW store had made a table that looked like a deck from a ship, great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I would absolutely love to see BFG come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I kinda would. As much as I have dreamed about having a Blood Angel fleet to supplement my collection, I doubt I'd ever get a chance to play the game :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I would cave in and buy a limited edition BFG run a-la Dreadfleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordo Machinum Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 A true HH30K BFG game would require a hundred ships per side, many of which will be destroyed like a flame thrower ripping through gasoline-soaked tissue paper - at least according to fluff. Only the command ships will be nigh-invulnerable. In other words... Yes. Yes, I would love to see BFG return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareddm Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I don't know how popular it would be with this crowd but having demoed FFG's new Star Wars Armada game, I can say that with very few changes it would work wonderfully as a BFG stand-in. Obviously the models would be preprinted like the star wars minis, but given that they already have the license for use with the 40k RPGs and Conquest, could it be possible that BFG is next? I would endorse FFG making a BFG line. They are already handling the RPGs for the 40K universe, so it wouldn't be a stretch. The only question would be is if they would actually take it. With their own capital ship line being launched soon, it may be considered a conflict of interest, no matter how good it would be. The success of Netrunner hasn't stopped Warhammer 40k: Conquest from being made and getting off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aura_enchanted Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Fw teased that after the horus heresy is concluded and warhammer 30k's final rules are written they are considering restarting one of gw's old skirmish 40k games. They said that they would jump at the chance to do bfg or epic 40k. Imo I'd love to get a chance to play epic 40k. I wanted to for a long time and I've never gotten too. Also I hope that one day gw is finally let off its leash about lotr and we see it dropped. Ita bot profitable and its not attractive to new buyers which seem to ve the focus of gw's efforts. Lotr's most profitable model is probably the goblin town terrain piece. And that's because it's a piece of bloody terrain. The hobbit Will be looked back on as a dismal failure of a game. It's predecessors were far more interesting and exciting. I remember reading my first few white dwarfs a guy at high school let me borrow on all the lotr bat reps. I remember how awesome the matches felt and it seemed like a game crammed full of awesome sauce (this would of been around the time of the return of the king - the two towers). I would kill people to be first in line of gw went back to that. They could even use the old models and rulebooks. I'd buy some silver helms and go man mode vs the uruk hai; Ez mode.

Adeptus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'd like BFG to make a comeback, but I don't think I want to see it get the standard GW treatment of a bajillion new additions constantly shoe-horned in, and the rules re-released and updated for no reason. Just put the rules back up for people to download, and stock the models for people to buy. That's all we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strazhakov Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 BFG could also make for a nice strategy game for PC. It's not like GW isn't whoring out their license to any random developer they happen to stumble across... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conscriptboris Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 IMO, they should release a box set like the last Space Hulk and the contract the fleets out to a third party company that pays royalties. They can maintain the rules, the models can then be out - sourced, not GW, but hey. Also, if you look at the games they have dropped over the years, the gaps have been taken by others, so they have lost all income, whereas out sourcing could have kept some money flowing, also would have kept people in the fluff!

The Yak Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It was a sin against humanity that GW stopped BFG in the first place. You want a 40k campaign? You need BFG. Simple as that. It is a crying shame for all the gamers who have not got access to the game. The ability to link your battles together is priceless. Currently my Imperial fleet is trying to run the gauntlet of an Ork blockade to get an Imperial Knight House Hyperion lander down to the surface of Lamina V.

Slayer le Boucher Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you want real BFG, play Space Engineers, build your vessels and fleet and get a go at it in Multiplayer Vs others BFG fans... That would be epic... Ingame screenshot found. http://i.imgur.com/KuKwBhC.jpg?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer le Boucher Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Use advanced Gyroscopes mod or the super gyros mod on steamworkshop, greatly helps and also keep the gyros count on manageable levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
