AuthorNateHA-Flybywire The Genesis of the Tau
The T’au are the first completely new army in WH40K to come out after BFG was already an established game, and Andy C. was tasked with bringing them to life in BFG while they were coming to life in WH40K. This all unfolded just as BFG Necrons were finally gelling as a cohesive ruleset and fleet list, after three “official” tries in BFG magazine. Because both Necrons and Tyranids before then had some teething issues based mostly on how different their rulesets were from the core rules, Andy wanted to return to what worked as we built the T’au. His idea was to return to the core rules (specifically Imperial) with no gimmicks for movement, turning, weapons, etc. The big difference would be in Fleet makeup, where a player could have essentially as many battleships as they wanted, and it would be the number of cruisers that would end up being the limitation fleets were built around.

AuthorNateHA-Flybywire I was chatting on the discord about the Demiurg, and I promised to tell folks about how they came about. I figured while writing this that it would be a fun story to bore the rest of you with. Before the Tau were a thing and the Necron fleet was going through all its teething issues (different conversation), a New Threat Alert was posted in one of the early BFG magazines with a silhouette of what we would later learn was the Demiurg Stronghold.
AuthorNateHA-Flybywire Hi all! I've been blessed to be part of the BFG community since the very beginning, and for some reason the GW demi-deities showed favour to my random scribbling's early on and invited me to an extended peek behind the curtain. Everything changed after 2010, and by 2013, everyone at Games Workshop that was passionate about the game was gone. I still remember a lot about that time, but I'm not the only purveyor of knowledge so if I miss some details or you have a question, feel free to drop me a line or hit me up on the General Discussion forum in the BFG Discord.
Thrown wrenches and /or crowbars are acceptable, as long as it in fun. All that being said, I hope this all makes for some great reading. Game on and enjoy! AuthorDrew The Phoenix was originally the Repulsive grand cruiser Exeter. Laid down in M34, the Exeter would distinguish itself in countless battles in the Gothic Sector. She was reassigned to the Norvellum Sector in the Eastern Fringe after most of the ships of her class turned traitor. Like the other Repulsive class ships that stayed loyal, the Exeter was sent to a remote sector where she could do little damage were she to fall from the Emperor’s light.
AuthorJustin This one is a bit of a trick question. If I asked you what date BFG was first advertised in White Dwarf, what would you think? I bet you wouldn’t say November 1989(!), 20 months before the release of Space Fleet and almost 10 years before the release of the game we know and love.
AuthorAdmiral Crows So much to defend, so little to defend it with. Admiral Conreptus stared blankly at the days reports streaming in from across the Mutara sector. The glow of the auspex casting a sorrowful green glow over the wisened admiral' face. It had been nearly a century since the Great Rift cut the Imperium in two. A century since Mutara Fleet Command had had any contact from outside the sector.
AuthorHermie Magoo I do love it when the community keep producing awesome content and here is an example.
One of the community has written a new scenario! AuthorA. Toney Wandering Foes Version 2!!!
As some of you may remember a while back I created a small PDF that introduced some 'AI' driven enemies to BFG. Well here is the new version at last! |
