The only 3D printed Dropfleet things I’ve seen were base inserts, sector tokens, that kind of thing.Once the last remnants of Roman power west of the Balkans were extinguished in the late fifth century CE, the history of Europe moved into the period that is still referred to as “medieval,” meaning “middle” (between).

People make whole battlegroups of lighter craft from the leftover bits in a starter set. Their plastic kits come to roughly $15 per cruiser before discounts-but each cruiser sprue comes with a ton of optional bits. If they come out swinging with the kinds of prices I expect, they.’ll just kill their brand even faster.įor comparison, Dropfleet Commander had a resurgence when Battle for Earth came out and still has momentum. Heck, if they just priced their cruisers reasonably (like $15 or maybe $20 for a fully loaded cruiser sprue, twice the price of BFG 1st edition plastics), I bet they still could. If they came out with plastic cruisers now, or better for them a year and a half ago when Dropfleet was at its lowest, hey could have captured that market instead of losing it near permanently. I imagine that's the reason for the rumored Battle Fleet Heresy game.

Not everyone can or wants to print a fleet, but they're out there.

But the fact is everything in the BFG library has a free STL file these days. The old plastic cruisers were awesome kits and I'd be happy to pick them up if they went back in print. It’s going to be really weird when GW brings it back only to charge $30 a cruiser and find out half the market is already glutted with ships that cost a fraction of that. While the minis are out of print, they’re not exactly out of.printing.

In short, pretty much everything Space Hulk other than the base game and extra Terminator v. Such fun when the stealers roll 3D6 in close combat and you were rolling 1D6-3. Yeah, it was great idea to send in the Imperial Guard to face ‘stealers in close quarters. Boring!Īnd don’t even get me started on the lousy additions from White Dwarf like Space Marines, Orks, etc. The problem with Deathwing was the psychic rules were horribly overpowered, routinely cleansing entire room sections with ease. If by a miracle it should miss or jam, hybrid splatters you with conversion beamer.’ Boring! Marine overwatch usually splatters said hybrid. It turned the game into ‘Fragile hybrid steps out. The problem with the Genestealer expansion for Space Hulk was the addition of hybrids with big guns, taken from the old Chaos heavy weapon sprue. Also Narn skirmish ships (bar the Thentus) suck, raid is where its at! Track That Target order is your friend, makes boresight weapons fore (or aft) arc against nominated target. 5 battle was different to 10 raid despite nominally being 'same') G'quan was not that good(well the bigger games helps them as the split system did have advantage of favouring bigger ships in bigger games. As it is for narn's it was the skirmish level ships that were the king. And that's assuming smaller ship isn't manouverable enough to stay out of front anyway. In practice if small ships were split you got one shot with main guns half the time and then you didn't get any until your secondaries took out other(which could be hard. At worst you had stuff like one omega cruiser vs 2 smaller ships. Yeah the original splitting was even worse but even new one wasn't perfect and this was compounded by AA(see? AA isn't holy grail ) which in turn was compounded with boresight weapons.
