Battlefleet Gothic Character Ship Creation Community Event
Admirals! We are happy to announce the first every Character Ship Creation Community Event! We want to see the creativity of this community going. This is a chance to put on display your full capabilities as a story telling, conversion expert, painter, artist, rules writer and just general Gothic enthusiast!
This event will run from TODAY (12 SEP 2022) until 12 DEC 2022!
What we want to see is you come up with your best ship possible. We want to know the story, see the ship (either as a actual model or original artwork), and see any additional rules you can come up with. You can work from existing ship classes or come up with your own original. You can also work from existing fleets in game, or come up with something not yet in game but grounded in Warhammer lore (IE a Hrud or Votann ship). Get creative, really dive into the potential that is BFG
If your submission contains a conversion, please provide a brief explanation of how you did the conversion in your submission. If it is a 3d print of an original design, please provide a link to the .stl in the submission. Once you've come up with your unique character ship(s) you will submit it (details below) for consideration in the following categories.
