Update: Battlefleet Gothic Image Gallery
Good news everyone! I resized all of the hideously big pictures in the Battlefleet Gothic gallery. Sadly this doesn’t fix all previous posts, but it makes the gallery pics load in a reasonable amount of time. Expect the same treatment for the other galleries soon!
Edit: Blood Bowl is now browser friendly too! As well as Necromunda!
New Image Gallery
In case you hadn’t noticed, up on the right there’s a new link: Image Galleries. Unfortunately only one is up right now, the Battlefleet Gothic gallery. Check it out.

GOTHIC DONE
I can’t believe it. I’m done with Gothic. Low Orbit Table defenses and Mines are above.
So what’s next? I’m definitely making a Gothic Gallery for all the images, but what do I paint next? My Menoth starter box? Necromunda? Start my Orks again?
Transports and Orbital Defences
Included above:
-Space Station or Orbital Dock (can be either)
-3 Orbital Defences (Lance, Torpedo, Battery)
-Heavy Transport Argosy
-8 Out of print pewter transports
Next: 16 Orbital Mines, 8 low orbit Missile Silos, 8 Low Orbit Lance Batteries, and 4 Low Orbit Airfields, and then GOTHIC IS DONE!
Finished Chaos Fleet!
The above ordannce markers are the last thing for my Chaos fleet! 20 fighters, 21 bombers, 20 Forgeworld Dreadclaw assault boats (yes there’s one per base, they’re expensive) and 8 count ’em 8 custom converted torpedo bomber bases!
All were glued to 20mm fantasy bases. The torpedoes for the torpedo bombers are bristles from a $3 woman’s purse hairbrush.
The final picture is the fleet! There are fewer escorts for Chaos compared to my Imperial Navy fleet. However, I do have the Repulsive Grand Cruiser re-based onto a large base so I can buy the 3rd shield. I also have a LOT more ordnance because my Chaos fleet is pretty carrier heavy.
Next: Defences!!
Chaos Escorts
Next: Ordnance and then Chaos is done! Then defences and Gothic is complete!
Imperial Navy Fleet finished
Imperial Navy done! Next: Chaos! First, I must re-base the Repulsive class grand cruiser onto a large base so it can buy a 3rd shield. Then, paint 11 escorts and all their ordnance, which is a lot.
EDIT: With all available upgrades, Torpedo Bombers on the Emperor Class, and a Solar Admiral with 3 re-rolls, this is 3980 points, so if 4 ships take power rams, it’s exactly 4000
More Imperial Navy
All Imperial Navy ships are done, but I forgot the Ordnance Markers! Those will hopefully be fast.
Imperial Navy Dauntless Light Cruisers
Three Dauntless Light Cruisers, Lance armament. I don’t think I need torpedoes, as I have a bunch of ships that do that.
The Surprise is named after the ship in the made for T.V. scifi movie Star Command. The plot was that Earth is fighting a group of seceding space colonies. An enemy fleet of 5 battleships is on the way to Earth to destroy it, and only the D.R.E Surprise, a destroyer manned by cadets, can stop them. It was a great little movie, though low budget.
The Roanoke is named after both the American colony and the colony in John Scalzi’s The Last Colony.
The Kestrel is named after the best non-military ship from Escape Velocity by Ambrosia Software.
Next: More cruisers and escorts, then Chaos, then Defences, then Done With Gothic!
Retribution Class Battleship: Nieman Lion
I’ve decided to take an “Imperials First” strategy to painting the rest of my Gothic forces. After this Chaos and then Defences.
