Line 30:
* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: The [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Planet Killer]] specializes in these.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The game's name is often shortened to "BFG". This term will not be used here to avoid confusion with large guns.
** Although large guns do indeed feature prominently. Let's see - [[Frickin' Laser Beams|lasers]], [[Energy Weapon|plasma cannons]], [[Tractor Beam|graviton pulsars]], [[Magnetic Weapons|macrocannon]], [[Death Ray|fusion beamers]], [[Macross Missile Massacre|guided missile launchers]]...and that's just the ''standard batteries'' ("only" sufficient to level continents). The Lances are more like [[Wave Motion Gun|Wave Motion Guns]], and the Nova Cannons...[[Earthshattering Kaboom|forget about the Nova Cannons]].
* [[Fixed Forward Facing Weapon]]: Some ships have a nose mounted main cannon. Ork ships quite often have a large main gun, and the Imperium has the Nova Cannon, which is a massive mass driver that runs through most of the ship and fires building-sized projectiles at relativistic speeds.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Eldar ships go faster than anyone else's, but have next to no armour or damage resistance.
Line 54:
{{quote|War is Peace<br />
Freedom is Slavery<br />
Ignorance is Strength|''[[Nineteen Eighty -Four|Inscription across the ceiling of the Chapel Primus on the Divine Right]]''}}
* [[Snap Back]]: After the conflict, the Eldar go straight back to piracy and raiding Imperial systems.
* [[Solar Sail]]
Line 67:
** Anybody siding with anybody against anybody, with the sole exception of an Adeptus Arbites ship (yes, they have one) siding with the Imperial Navy. Even the Astartes don't like working with the Navy.
* [[Turn Based Strategy]]
* [[Two2-D Space]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]], or at least [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|necessary]]; it's pretty damn hard to play a tabletop wargame in three dimensions. On top of this, the rulebook explains that the ships actually occupy an infinitesimally small dot at the exact center of their base stands and allows them to move 'through' each other to represent the fact that they are at differing 'altitudes'
* [[Unnecessarily Large Interior]]
* [[Units Not to Scale]]: And then some!
