Battlefleet Gothic: Difference between revisions

** Tyranid "vessels" are living organisms, with much of their armament being claws, blades, teeth and tentacles on a ridiculous scale. ''Even in space'', they try to jump on you and bite your face off.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Tyranids mount these on ''spaceships''.

* [[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]].

* [[Strange Bedfellows]]: The Eldar siding with the Imperium against Chaos.

** 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.

* [[2-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]]
