how is it?
>>333232906
Not out yet
>>333232906
TB is not impressed

>>333232906
Fucking fun. Though I played tabletop so I'm pretty heavily biased.
Eldar coming out soon.
>>333233673
That video says the exact opposite, anon.
>>333232906
Honestly I love it. I bought it this weekend and have 18 hours so far. Can't wait for the full release.
Let me guess
It doesn't have and never will have tyranids
>>333236746
It doesn't right now and probably won't be in anytime soon, especially since it's based around the Gothic War, which was mostly about the Imperium and Eldar vs Chaos, but they haven't ruled any factions out I don't think, so it's possible for an expansion or something. Wouldn't count on it though.
>>333236746
>It doesn't have Tyranids
True. The game at the moment (or once Eldar get released) will be much like the first TT release of BFG. Marines are coming next as well as another unannounced faction after that.
>and never will have Tyranids
We don't know. Probably Tau or Necron are coming next. Tyranids are probably more work since would actually have to animate the ships when they do their melee attacks.
>put it on steam wishlist

me too

>hit red button on everything
fuckers shot my guns, my shields, and my deck
but my mother fucking engines still work
>>333237313
marines aren't really a huge faction in BFG
they just have a few ships in the imperial navy
also they commented about nids being really hard to implement, mostly cause they are OP assholes
i hope necrons get their fucking gimmicks put in.
>get a escort mission
>use inertialess warp drive
>power across the map in less than a minute
You're at the club and this guy walks up and slaps your space station's ass. What do you do?
>>333237313
Feels bad to be honest.
>>333237857
Yea cause don't nids move in literal tendrils across the galaxy and like the Imperial navy has to get a crusade going just to fight a nid hive fleet?
I mean the ship designs are cool and would totally stand out, but I don't think the game has a big enough scale to make nids feel like nids.
>>333238559
Eh, it's not uncommon to encounter splinter fleets that form from severely weakened 'nid forces, and they can still pose a formidable threat
>>333237857
>marines aren't really a huge faction in BFG
Yeah if they are a standalone faction (which they are implied to be) then they're gonna have some gaps in their lineup. No cruisers and no BC, though I think their rules allowed them to borrow other ships as a venerable battle barge.
>>333238380
'Crons and Tau are just easier to make. Some people are asking for DE, but fuck those edgelords.
>>333238559
their boarding actions are retarded OP
and they don't suffer any crew failure nonexistent
also they make ramming look fucking pathetic as they literally melee ships
>>333239127
oh not to mention their shields ignore things that ignore shields
and their weapons act like poison as they can infest target ships with spore attacks.
>>333238898
I'm still salty that nids got shafted in DoW for DE and SoB, the literally whos of 40k, of all fucking things.
>space croissant fleet never
>>333239412
>their shields ignore things that ignore shields
what?
>>333237414
That's why I took it off my wishlist. Totally annoying.
>>333239828
particle whips and elfdar shit that go right through void shields
>>333235507
Shouldn't Eldar ships spank absolutely everything besides necrons?
>>333239982
I more meant how do they have shields like that and how is that remotely balanced
>>333237298
>that last lightning strike
That deserves its own warhammer short story
>>333240104
>I more meant how do they have shields like that and how is that remotely balanced
spores
they have a spore cloud that acts like a shield.
and it isn't balanced, they are OP as hell

>Shouldn't Eldar ships spank absolutely everything besides necrons?
Were they that OP in the TT? I don't remember.
I know they basically forced opponents to bring batteries and nothing else. I also remember Necrons lightning whips just outright ignoring Holofields.
Hopefully this time Holofields will be a bit more even in effect across the various weapon types.
>>333240329
So what, is their only weakness getting in and killing the biggest synapse creature in their fleet like what the Tau did?

>>333233673
Oh yes, I certainly value the opinion of some fat fuck that is absolutely awful at every video game and literally pays for his wifes son.
>>333240508
pretty much.
i never fought against them in the TTG
they follow a flow chart if they lose their synapse
>>333241064
I never played the tabletop, only read about some fleet battles in the lore which is why I ask.
>>333240848
Which ones 'nids or 'crons?
We get 2 extra fleets for free so 6 factions to start with, which is pretty decent.
>>333240848
i'm mad too, i want necrons to be introduced immediately
having that glorious 360 degree lighting arch of bullshit
having particle cannon fire on whatever the fuck i want
having my escorts move faster than anything in the game with armor that is equal to my massive ships
>>333241372
Are you a Necron player?
Would you want oldcrons or newcrons in BFG?
If they add Necrons they might use the dynasties as favour for BFG.
>>333241640
Oldcrons are dead m8, if they put them in its gonna be the new shit.
>>333241640
i played both.
they have their ups and downs.
but the ships from gothic should not be changed in the slightest, i don't care there is only 5 ships total
the dynasties would be a neat flavor for the customization.
as long as they stick to energy weapons.
maybe add some fighters
necrons did not waste their times with torpedoes or broadside guns
>>333241813
Has there been any info about newcron spaceships? If not Tindolas will probably just use the BFG Armada TT stuff and add a newcron flavour to it.
>>333242051
there is no information on the newcron ships
GW killed it off ages ago
>>333242051
>use the BFG Armada TT stuff and add a newcron flavour to it.
this is what i hope for
high armor
heavily shielded monsters
does armada have any accuracy information on chances to hit if the ship is traveling away or toward the shooter?
or is it all just shooting accuracy on distance
>>333242673
Just distance as far as I know. No adjustment for Escort or Capital Ship either.
>>333242673
I thought the lore for necron ships was that a shitty fighter could take out a force 100 times its size like nothing ever happened because their tech tree literally maxed out.
>>333243170
Never heard lore quite that one-sided. They are pretty rapetastic though.
>>333243170
pretty much, the escorts had the highest armor value damaging them only on a 6+
all ahead forward is on average 6x faster than other races along with being able to turn rapidly while doing so
>>333244105
lore was always pretty rapetastic before the new spiritual liege made spess mahreen fluff over powered
they even changed the original lore about the necron "raid" on mars from necrons simply appearing and disappearing instantaneously to them blowing the shit out of their vessels
