Title: Using other ships as...?
Post by: Seahawk on February 25, 2013, 04:45:54 PM

This weekend I acquired a truly massive amount of ships from Star Fleet Battles, something like 30ish Federation ships, 40ish Klingon ships, 30ish Romulan ships and an assortment of "other".

First, has anyone played Star Fleet Battles? Any reviews?

Second, since nobody here plays I was thinking of instead using them as ships for BFG fleets. But which ones? Maybe Feds for Tau or something. Heck, maybe just all of them would work for Tau, they have that kind of aesthetic. And suddenly I have 100 Tau ships... :o

Third, I have a LOT here, so if anyone is looking for something...;)

Romulan = dark eldar
Klingon = chaos
Federation = imperial

Well, those are the easy answers! I was going for more what aesthetic would fit which race, but I suppose that would work too.

As an aside, I have been doing some digging and I found out that Citadel Miniatures made a decent amount of the ships that I have! (in 1985, ha!)

Sounds neat. Any clue where to scrounge them up from?

You can probably use those with ACTA. http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/miniatures/ctastarfleet.html

I havent played the new game but i its like B5 ACTA its a good system, i havent had alot of experiance with starfleet battles but is got a bad rep :/.
