Blast from the Past rules! And the old magazines like Planet Killer and Warp Rift
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-aXA8fc5AQ8Uzg0d2xKZjZ2UVk?resourcekey=0-R23Uy6Yaj79k1cBVBC23Vw&usp=sharing

In general you can view it like this: the magazine led to the annual 2002; the annual led to Armada.
Warp Rift is completely homebrew.

Above folder has:
  • Battlefleet Gothic Magazine
  • Fanatic Magazine
  • Warp Rift
  • Warp Rift presents
  • Old articles
  • BFG 2002 Annual
  • BFG Invasion



The Unofficial Rules section:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1btrBYSNbulooTEOMIYrHlN8aF9zdn4aA?usp=sharing

  • Additional Ship Compendium -the old version from early 2000's and the new (WIP) version from Gothmof Lord of Balrogs
  • Adeptus Mechanicus -a small expanded version of the first AdMech Rules from specialist games
  • Battlefleet Discord -bringing you BFG Dreadnaughts and Book of the Void I. Rak'Gol prerelease!More to come!
  • Battlefleet Gothic France -Several fleet lists created by the French community
  • Battlefleet Gothic Revised -A forum development during FAQ2010 in which community voted and changed things which did not happen in FAQ2010. Caretakers from the past Plaxor and Afterimagedan
  • Battlefleet Gothic XR -well known ruleset. Origins in Battlefleet Gothic Revised but Xca|iber also changed the core rules themselves
  • Battlefleet Gothic Heresy -A well dedicated set of rules with Glorianas placing the fleets in 30K
  • BFG 2020 - a ruleset by a team who wanted to create another system for BFG with alternate activations
  • Book of Nemesis -a fan work from the Polish group
  • Campaigs -home made campaign systems
  • Dark Eldar -in the wake of Eldar MMS an attempt to go on Dark Eldar. Unfinished but with some neat NSFW and other cool artwork
  • Demiurg -Albeit unfinished some nice things from Xisor
  • Eldar MMS & Starblade -the alternative ruleset for Eldar. Can be used in any ruleset to replace the Eldar rules. Has a nice following. Starblade is my personal magnus opus ;) poetry, art, scenarios
  • Khareshi Expanse & Pirates -old ideas for xenos and pirates in a remote location. Open source! Feel free to use at will
  • Project Distant Darkness -before FAQ/Compendium 2010 gave Protectors 90* turns Project Distant Darkness showed the way with a distinct set of rules and neat background. Plus two story-scenario expansions
  • Q'orl -a small but fun ruleset from Nerroth. Check these xenos
  • Tau -Dimensions of the Tau models. The old and removed at Forgeworld request rules for the Tau CPF and the fan rules from Xisor and Shinnentai

A real real blast from the past: Spacefleet!

Space Fleet!

Heya all,

In February 2023 following stuff got updated or added to the rules hub:

Added to the unofficial resources folder on the rules hub I have added the epic raiders fanmade supplement. It's a bit older but includes 3 Battlefleet Gothic scenarios (Dark Eldar, Necron and Imperial Navy)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hZccoce4F56_LO7s55ippaPcT08FLpTf/view?usp=share_link

Next up: another older PDF with Legion Astartes and Heresy Era fleet lists. This isn't Battlefleet Heresy but a PDF made by someone else. If someone knows who please let me know.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XsKuUwbIdqNkfVOq9SUAQp99ffF2lqEt/view?usp=share_link

Updated the BFG France folder thanks to @Heavygear
It also includes a tactica folder.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1livQf-vjsqvKYkyJv7q7Sog57BwMt7lW?usp=sharing

Uploaded the BFG _quick ref from @surfimp to the asset folder in the official section of the rules hub. Slightly modernized version of the classic one.

Battlefleet Gothic Starter Kit - Advanced




Special thanks to DoublebaseFanatic for leading this project (and painting that fantastic looking fleet)!

It has been asked for frequently and now it is here. We are happy to announce that we are launching the 'Starter Kit - Advanced' in great collaboration with Soul Forge Studio. We will start with the Corsair Eldar (Orcs coming soon).

In the 'Starter Kit - Advanced' you will find the presupported STL files of the Corsair Eldar (including options for the wings) as well as a short summary of the necessary special rules of the Corsair Eldar and the game structure of the Eldar for the Starter Kit.

We have made every effort to transfer the flair and sense of the Starter Kit to the Eldar fleet list. Have fun with it! 🙂
Here is the folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1dxTeLC2bTnlUfzN_RJF788wHmYBhMa6C

Here is the regular starter kit: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Kpg6ZuDmFc5axXa6sUBiJrQiFuZIlbAu?usp=share_link

The Battlefleet Gothic Remastered Rulebook has been updated to v1.08

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GLuu7Ti6Z9Pe84sWFUmh9yhhoB7n1XGJ/view?usp=drive_link

Changelog
* Added a missing sentence to the "Ordnance attacks" section (ignore shields) and restructured the paragraph a bit while at it.
* Added a page link from "Fighting Sunward" to the sunward edge diagram.
* Made the sentence stand out that the whole squadron is affected by any one ship under special orders.

Thanks to Simon Saier!!!
