Line 29:
** Tyranid "vessels" are living organisms, with much of their armament being claws, blades, teeth and tentacles on a ridiculous scale. They can spit acid or plasma, however their strength is in lots of swarming bugs and boarding. ''Even in space'', they try to jump on you and bite your face off.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Tyranids mount these on ''spaceships''.
* [[Defeat Equals Explosion]]: One possible outcome.
* [[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.
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
* [[Madness Mantra]]: The Chaos warship Killfrenzy, so named because it continually broadcasts an endless loop of "KILLFRENZY KILLFRENZY KILLFRENZY" on all channels.
* [[Negative Space Wedgie]]: The Eye of Terror, through which Abaddon and the Chaos fleets attack the Materium; rules for a number of other "celestial phenomena" are featured, few of them pleasant.
* [[Obvious Rule Patch]]: Replacing the "guess the range"<ref>it
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: Many Imperial and all Ork vessels have heavily armoured prows, designed with intimately connecting with other warships in mind. The Ork "Brute" ram ship is designed ''specifically for ramming'', consisting of a gigantic armoured prow, a powerful engine and minimal weaponry, they are perhaps the least subtle device in the entire 40k universe.
** They are a spaceship sized woodchipper on a giant set of engines with some guns. No frills, just a solid metallic mass of "get over there and make holes where no spaceship should have holes, one of which is the rough size and shape of ''this ship''." Screw kroozers, those things are the avatars of Mork (or was it Gork?).
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* [[Snap Back]]: After the conflict, the Eldar go straight back to piracy and raiding Imperial systems.
* [[Solar Sail]]
* [[Space Fighter]]: Interceptors help to defend from bombers and torpedoes.
* [[Space Is an Ocean]]: Taken to unbelievable levels. Some series call spaceships "boats", BFG has masts, sails and ''space shanties''.
** That said, the physics of space is at least ''acknowledged''. Mostly.
Line 64 ⟶ 66:
* [[Space Pirates]]: Most Eldar, most Orks, and there are rules for the other factions to field a piratey force, excepting Space Marines.
* [[Space Sailing]]: Eldar ships.
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: Nova Cannon's blast. Plasma drive goes boom. Or warp drive goes pop.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Chaos ships.
* [[Standard Starship Scuffle]]: The game is built around this trope, with its space combat firmly grounded in the [[Space Is an Ocean]] setting.
