Prior to the game, each ship and/or squadron rolls for leadership and applies any modifiers that are applicable. Any game of 750 points or more must include a fleet commander. As we mentioned in the first article, Battlescribe remains an excellent resource to quickly build your fleet for any point level – but bear in mind that the file will contain all expansion ships from not just the core book, but also the Armada book and various individual supplements. Common game sizes range between 1,250 and 2,000 points, but fair warning, Battlefleet Gothic does take a fair amount of time at the upper ranges of points values. Forming Up The Fleet Size of the Gameīattlefleet Gothic games may range from 500 to 2,500 for decent sized patrols all the way up to full fleet sized engagements. I’m joined by fellow contributor Charlie Brassley to discuss the Imperial Navy. We will get to all the cool expansion ships and fleets in the next article before closing out this series with how to tie BFG into your 40k narratives. Today we are going to focus on how to set up a fleet with the core fleets from the original game – the ships, how they play, and why you should play them. Protracted engagements just punish Necrons as they take more and more damage Smart opponents will target your Battleships and most expensive cruisers heavily, and every unsaved hit on an escort gives up twice as many victory points as it cost to field.In our first article we discussed what Battlefleet Gothic (BFG) is, how to find everything you need to play, and why you should play it (it’s the best and you become the best by association). The thing about Necrons is that they're designed so that games are maybe 3 turns long Get in, do as much damage as possible, and get out before you take too much return fire. I think the drawbacks are fairly balanced against the advantages, especially in campaign play, as Necrons are unable to upgrade at all while their opponents will presumably be getting more powerful and efficient ships. Also, for campaign play, Necrons are charged double the amount of resources to effect repairs. The Necron fleet has it's own victory point table which is very harsh - any cpatal ship which is destroyed but not left as a drifting hulk (meaning it exploded or is otherwise not on the field at the end of the match) is worth 200%, and a drifting hulk (destroyed but still on the field) is 300%. Also, since Necrons don't have shields to absorb incoming fire this means that there are no blast markers placed by the lances, leaving weapon batteries unaffected while firing second. Causing Necron ships to 'Brace for Impact' by firing fusillades of lance fire is also helpful as they cannot 'All Ahead Full' while braced. The firepower and strength of Necron weapon systems are affected by special orders as normal, as are their turret values, making lances very valuable against the tin tide. Necrons can close very fast The "All Ahead Full" special order grants them an addition 1D6x10 cm's of additional movement instead of the normal 4d6, and they can turn once for every 20cm travelled unlike other races which cannot turn at all. While they don't get bonuses to these rolls per se, the ability to make multiple H&R's per capital ship, and ignore most of the restrictions pertaining to such make this much more of an asset than normal. Necrons love to get up close and personal, where their "Portals" give them extra hit & run attacks. The Necron lance equivalent ignores shields on a roll to hit of 6, again Holofields cannot save against this. Necrons have a "Star Pulse Generator" which grants an automatic roll to hit against all ships in range (one roll each), which ignores Holofields. The Necron weapon battery does not suffer the normal column shift for eldar holofields or shadowfields, and treats ALL targets as closing. When under the "Brace for Impact" special order ALL Necron ships improve their save to 2+, but lower their armor to 4+, and finally, Necron ships repair critical damage on a roll of 4+ instead of the normal 6+. Secondly, they get a save vs damage depending on the ship class: Escorts get a 6+, Cruisers get a 5+, and Battleships get a 4+. Firstly, all Necron ships have great armor at 6+.
