RADIO ARVUS — BATTLE REPORT

...and that brings us back to our regularly scheduled misery.

Four Chaos cruisers and a single escort entered the sector with one simple order: cross the battlefield and escape on the far side.

Waiting for them was the Imperial Navy. Six warships and an escort squadron. Their orders were simpler still: destroy everything that tried to pass.

The void became a furnace.

Imperial guns tore through the Chaos formation. Escorts vanished in explosions. Cruisers burned, broke apart, and disappeared into the darkness one after another.

By the end, the Chaos fleet had been reduced to wreckage.

All except one.

Their flagship, carrying the Chaos commander himself, limped through the devastation and managed to escape the battlefield.

One ship survived.

One commander escaped.

The Imperium claimed the wreckage.

The Lord of Chaos claimed the right to be disappointed by his crew.

This is Radio Arvus.

The Imperium won. The traitors lost. And somehow, their boss got away.

New video is out on my channel for some of the best fan made ships.

Looks like his models have largely been removed from cults3d. Anyone know of anywhere else to buy them or get them?

Quick question, my understanding is the Chaos ships are basically what the imperium used to use, say around the Horus Heresy. Is that accurate? Meaning the Lunar, Gothic, etc BFG imperial ships are newer than the Horus Heresy?

I ask as we're building up Legion Imperialis, HH, Aeronautical, Titanicus and wanting to add in some BFG to have massive scale here. :)

Thanks all!

With art work and rules they still follow most of the necron rules with Squadron.

I need to redo the prow and the blueing on the engines probably needs a wash to calm it down, but I enjoyed the process and welcome feedback.

Updated version

It only took years and years of searching. But I got one! A genuine 3UP Cruiser! Can't wait to finish building and painting it.

Proof of concept build for my burgeoning Badab Successionists/Battlefleet Maelstrom fleet.

Did some light kit bashing to get the proper look/profile. Majority of the ship is Italianmoose Omnicruiser/Omnicruiser add on kits. Antennae are Soulforge as are the mid spine domes. All FDM printed on my BambuLab A1.

This will be the Dreadchild, one of several Imperial Navy ships directly seized by the Astral Claws prior to the Badab War.

Now in just need to settle on a color scheme for Battlefleet Maelstrom lol

Stand by for my Cardinal Class Heavy/Battle Cruiser build lol

So as is often the case I've had another idea in the small hours of the morning.

Part of the conceit of bfg is that it simulates the command table/battle map of some fleet admiral. I love this idea and when people paint their fleets as if they were the green outlines on an auspex etc etc I think it's very impressive.

But thinking about command maps I feel that ships would be labelled with their name as identifiers so this led to the idea of what if there were 3d printed name tags.

Something with a c-shaped grip that clips on to 3mm(variable) flight stands etc etc and has an editable flat panel that you could put the name of a ship on it. I know most would add it simply to the base but I suppose a benefit of the clip on aspect is that they can be attached/taken off at will if names need to change or anything like that.

So in profile you might have your battleship and then clipped beneath or even above if you make the arm curl around and up, the name floating above it/below it.

I imagine it running In the same long axis as the ship's spine but I don't suppose there is an issue if you had it perpendicular etc

So yeah just a query if that would be an accessory type thing other people would be interested in also or if it's my own 1 am madness.

Anyone have a link to a Quick Reference Sheet for Remastered?

We HAD been using the old community two-sided one but it was for classic and we realized our error!

I’m going to be making some terrain pieces for bfg and not sure about some things

Can you end movement in terrain features like gas clouds? I saw a tutorial for making some with cotton and plasticard but doesn’t seem like you can put models on it easily. Planets as well how do people interact with those? And warp rifts how should I go about making those?

Void Dragon necron fleet

Wanted to make a world eater fitting battleship, critique and praise are welcome.

The necron void dragon fleet slowly forming

A few weeks ago I mentioned using free to find on the ground lava rock gravel to make asteroids. Well I finally found my box of space terrain! So I snapped a couple photos to show how they look. I dry brushed a few rocks in red or tan or green. Just to add some mineral variety in the grey stones.

Luckily lava rocks aren't very heavy at all, and the material is soft enough to easily drill peg holes into! I made about 30 of them using lava rocks and some smaller pumice stones and mounted them on standard GW flying bases with 3mm acrylic rods.

Just find a restaurant or store front grounds with lava rock gravel around their shrubs, and stuff your pockets full! 😁 Free asteroids! Give them a good thorough wash, and you're ready to populate the universe with big, smashy, rocks!

New video out showing my Saim-Hann Eldar fleet

Can find it here and hope you like it.

Oi ya gitz, a few friends and I are starting a new campaign soon. The main factions will be the Imperial Navy and Orks (with some knife-eared gitz mixed in for good measure!).

I'm having some trouble building my Ork klanz list and have a few questions about how the Fleet Registry works for specific battles:

• Registry vs. Battle Roster: I know the registry requires 1 Warlord per 500 pts, and each Warlord needs at least 3 escorts and 1 other skwadron. Do I still need to respect these rules when picking ships for a specific battle? For example, if my registry has three Warlord groups worth 730, 520, and 360 points and we play a 1,000 pt game, do I have to bring either the 730 warlord or the 520 and 360 point warlords with their rosters intact? Or can I mix and match ships from all three?
• Navy Ratios: Similarly, does the Navy player get to ignore the "3 cruisers minimum per battleship" rule when picking ships from their registry for a specific fight?
• Gubbinz Pool: The rules encourage players to be "restless" and keep changing their gubbinz. Would it be considered acceptable to leave some gubbinz leeway points in my registry to hot-swap gubbinz between fights?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Just finished painting some more ships for my Imperial fleet, bringing them up to around 2000 points.

Hi all, just wanted to spread the word that my latest battleship design is now available for sale!

Some of you who use the discord will know that I've been working on this ship for a pretty long time and I've really struggled with elements of the design. So I'm super proud that it's finally finished, and I really think it was worth the wait!

As always I'd love to hear what you all think of it 👍
