DB´s Battlefleet Gothic BatReps

Hi folks,
In the future i will post here my BatReps for all of my BFG battles. Today i´ve played three games against Imperium and i´m tired now. So tody no detailed BatReps, but i´ve made a lot of pics so you can await more tomorrow. Ok, short info, my Flagship, the Desolator class battleship Flames of Tchar, killed FIFE! imperial capital ship, amoung them one Emperor class battleship and one Retribution class battleship. I think this ship will become the most feared in our campaing. The Retribution and two Cruisers alone in the first game. Muhuhuhahahahahaha

More tomorrow.....

Ok, the first BatRep:
The Battle for Halemnet!
We have a Campaing running with 2000 points for each player and fleet. Every player can have more then one fleet but only one fleet for every fraction. Yesterday i made two fights for this campaing. My opponent and i decided to play two games with 1000 points per side, one game with the first half of the the 2000 points and the second game with the remaining 1000 points.

Malachias sit on his command chair, watching the deployment of the imperial fleet. One Battleship, two Cruisers, a light Cruiser and two Escorts. That battle would be between even fleets, from the point of view of the imperial Commander, but Malachias knows better. He had fought many battles in the past 10000 years and he had won all of them. This will become a long day.....

The Deployment:


My Chaos Fleet:
Flames of Tchar, Desolator class battleship
Archsorceror Malachias the Enlighted, Warmaster with Mark of Tzeentch and 1 re-roll
Spear of Darkness, Archeron class heavy cruiser
Eternal Suffering and Blood Scythe, Devastation class cruisers


The Imperial Fleet
Retribution class battleship
Admiral
Gothic class cruiser
Dictator class cruiser
Dauntless class light cruiser
Sword class escort
Firestorm class escort


Chaos 1st turn
I moved my fleet closer to the enemy and fired some lances but did no damage, so i launched my bombers.


Imperium 1st turn
Same like my turn.


Chaos 2nd turn
I turned my fleet to get a better shooting angle. I did some damage on the Gothic cruiser. My bombers changed their course toward the two escorts.


Imperium 2nd turn
Again the luck was not on the Imperium´s side. He did no damage to my ships.

Chaos 3rd turn
I concentrated my fire on the Gothic cruiser, but thanks to "Brace for Impact" i shot him only to "crippled"-status. My bombers smashed into his fregattes and riped them both apart.


Imperium 3rd turn
A great firework but no damage for me. His ships must be full of new recruits.


Chaos 4th turn
The Desolator killed the Gothic class. The hull drifted for the rest of the game over the table.



Imperium 4th turn
No luck for my opponent. so he decided to rescue his fleet. But he missed the leadership tests for his battleship and his Dictator cruiser. Only the Dauntless made their escape.

Chaos 5th turn
Now i was able to concentrate my fire on his Dictator and again the Desolator dealed the deathblow. Now the Retribution was the last imperial ship on the table and my fleet had taken no damage so far. But it was not over.


Imperium 5th turn
Again he missed his leadership test and was forced to reach a table edge

Chaos 6th turn
I caught up with his battleship. My fleet opened fire and crippled the mighty Retibution.

Imperium 6th turn
My opponent was forced into the role of an observer.

Chaos 7th turn
The Flames of Tchar finished the imperial battleship with a broadside of his lances.


the victorious Chaos fleet

So here´s part two.

The Recapture of Moab.
Moab had been from the start of our campaing in chaos hand. But two weeks ago the Imperium started an Invasion and captured the Moab system for the Emperor. I decided that this is not acceptable and used my remaining fleet to recapture it in the name of the Lord of Change. After the slaughter at the Halemnet system, my opponent through in his remaining ship with the intention to revenge his losses. But the Lord of Change had have other plans......

My Chaos Fleet:
Ankhtowe, Executor class Grand Cruiser, Daemonship

2 Devastation class cruisers
Chaoslord with Mark of Tzeentch and additional re-roll

6 Idolator class escorts


The Imperial Fleet:
Mars class battle cruiser
Admiral
Gothic class cruiser
Lunar class cruiser
Tyrant class cruiser
2 Firestorm class escorts
1 Sword class escorts

Chaos 1st turn:
I was out of range so my only action had been to launch my bombers


Imperium 1st turn
Other then me my opponent he had the range to open fire with the Nova cannon of his Mars class. Normally a mighty weapon again he was out of luck and destroyed only one of my escorts


Chaos 2nd turn
The 2nd turn began with the appearance of the Ankhtowe. The Daemonship appeared near the Gothic and the Lunar class. I had not been aware that his Gothic class was already crippled from a previous battle. I concentrated the fire of the escorts and the Ankhtowe on it and ripped the ship apart. The Devastation classes fired on the Mars class and did some minor damage on it. My bombers killed one escort.


Imperium 2nd turn
For my opponent it works as bad as in our first game. He was not able to deal much damage.


Chaos 3rd turn
I brought his Mars class down to one structure point and again killed another escort


Imperium 3rd turn
Damn, i had never seen someone with so much bad luck with throwing dices. No damage for me.


Chaos 4th turn
The Mars class became prey for the Ankhtowe. The lances of the daemonship ripped through the Mars class and let it behind as a drifting hulk. The Devastations had nothing in range so there only action had been to start a new wave of bombers. The Idolators targeted the Lunar class and inflicted some damage.


Imperium 4th turn
The Lunar, the Tyrant and the remainig escort killed two of my Idolators.


Chaos 5th turn
The only target at range for cruisers and the Ankhtowe had been the last imperial escort. The Idolators pursuited the Lunar and crippled the ship.


Imperium 5th turn
My opponent tried to escape with his ships, but only the undamaged Tyrant class passed his leadership test. The crippled Lunar missed his test and remaind in range of my escorts.

Chaos 6th to 8th turn
The Idolators fired again and again at the Lunar but didn´t get the job finished


Imperium 6th to 8th turn
Thanks to "Brace for Impact" the Lunar made of the table with 1 structure point left.


Again another glorious victory for my Chaos Fleet.

Aubec

Ah, you'll git 'em next time. Cool batrep. And so many pics! Very nice. Looks like a load of fun.

Great rep!
The pics REALLY make it easy to follow and fun to read.

Congratulations on your win!!!...........I mean CURSE THE RUINOUS POWERS!!!!!!!!!

BC

None can stand against the slaghter of the ruinous powers!

My opponent will ask our gamemaster to add a bounty list to our campaing. The Flames of Tchar should be the first ship on that list.

That bounty will indeed increase the people who come after it,but when you crush them and theyr forces too,it'll be more infamous than ever.
