I was just wondering if there are any alternative manufacturers for BFG which fit in size and price.  Id like to start an imperial fleet and was thinking of these: http://www.groundzerogames.co.uk/store1 ... 0300.16703 Any of you know if they fit in size compared to the GW miniatures? |

I am a huge fan of Full Thrust from GZG. The ships work very well, and I have a few Japanese vessels for use as Marine ships for BFG. The style of ship is different from GW, and mixing the two ranges in a single fleet will require some thought and planning. Also, the GZG ships are - on average - one size class smaller than BFG. So, a GZG Battleship would work well as a Grand Cruiser, or even a Cruiser. So, I would avoid the Escorts from GZG and start at the Light Cruisers. As for other manufacturers, I am contractually obliged to link to: http://www.darkrealmminiatures.co.uk/st ... php?cat=28 Other ranges include Firestorm Armada and some Iron Wind vessels. For a list of available ranges, you cant do much better than Starship Combat News: http://www.star-ranger.com/Minis.htm |

Thanks for the links! So a light cruiser from GZG would not fit in with a GW cruiser? For example this one: http://eurekamin.com.au/product_info.ph ... s_id=10266 But Bfg is a basegame only isnt it? So if I go all GZG it wouldnt really matter? Those ninjaships look like great TAU vessels, ohh to many options.

I think that this ship would work as an Escort, but be to small for a Cruiser. Its true, that almost all space games are base directed, its just the size of the shp as a marker would be different. It would affect the game, but would just look a little out of place. Also, if your entire fleet is GZG it becomes less of a problem, as all ships are in scale to each other. |
