Battlefleet Gothic

Yeah.

And I will say I'd be interested in how that would translate on the tabletop with Battlefleet Gothic.

Yeah.

certainly against an Imperial fleet, they're, they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna do pretty well, uh, because that's, you know, uh, plasma, plasma cannons and lances, which are basically gigantic, you know, uh, uh, basically superheated beams of plasma.

and was involved in a number of the boxed sets series.

Now, the boxed set series ran from Man of War right through to Gorka Morka, including Mordheim and Battlefleet Gothic.

But Gary was the sole sculptor of the entire range of Blood Bowl miniatures for third edition.

So, Gary, first of all, welcome to Down Under World Denizens.

And I've been effing around with it for the past two hours or so.

So first of all, it's in metric and standard, which is good because, you know, if you want to play Battlefleet Gothic, you're good.

Or Lord of the Rings, a strategy battle game.

um so there are gw games out there that are that are metric and i i started looking at i was like all right so what's it do um well apparently so it's for it's 15 feet um extension which is cool but i don't know if you can see it in this in this uh video or in live here but you can literally see inside and and see the steel like ribbon of of the actual like um material.

This has got everything in it.

I think it's got Battlefleet Gothic.

It's got 40K.

It's got Fantasy.

Yep.

For us old heads that used to play Battlefleet Gothic, it was the easiest way to ever do it.

Oh,

sure.

I mean,

Battlefleet Gothic, you know, the revised rules, all that sort of stuff would be great.

Yeah, so we'd really like to know kind of the direction which you'd like to see Maximal Fire go in the future.

We're not

Yeah.

So I think the first one we have to start with is the Battlefleet Gothic Armada, like, artwork.

No, just Battlefleet Gothic.

[laughs]

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, Battlefleet Gothic.

This particular piece of artwork is what really sold me on the Imperial ships of Warhammer 40K, the sheer scale of them, how badass they are, how they're just flying cathedrals with cannons all over them.

If I had to sum up John Blanche in one line, it was he was the artist who made Warhammer look like Warhammer.

Um, 18 other different regiments from different worlds, including the Drukhian Fengard and the Jorun 146th.

You had, uh, Battlefleet Cadia, Battlefleet Corona, Battlefleet Gothic, Battlefleet Scarus, and Battlefleet Solar all involved.

Uh, and addition, and at least 57 other Imperial Navy battle groups.

Five orders militant of the Sisters of Battle, Saint Celestine herself, uh, Belisarius Cawl, Skitarii Legions, Legio Cybernetica, four different Titan Legions.

Well, th- there's a lot of stuff Blackstone Fortresses are said to be able to do.

I don't, I don't know if we've ever seen one destroy a star, but...

Uh, we did in Battlefleet Gothic II.

Oh, did we? Okay.

And so just like everything else in Warhammer 40,000, there are fleets.

You can build a Tyranid fleet in, uh, Battlefleet Gothic, which is the space battle game for Warhammer.

Mm-hmm.

And, um, th- in that game, Tyranid fleets actually just, e- except for a couple of ships, most of their escorts just follow an if/then, uh, decision tree.
