Warhammer 40,000 Battlefleet Gothic Game News, Reviews, Editorials & Unboxings.

Battlefleet Gothic is a naval miniature wargame that was produced by Games Workshop from 1999 to 2013 with Andy Chambers as the primary developer. The game is a spin-off of the grimdark science-fantasy setting of Warhammer 40,000, and has players command fleets of large spaceships belonging to one of several naval factions.

As in other miniature wargames, players use miniature models to represent warships. The playing field is usually a 4'x4' area that represents an area of space, upon which players place miniature models of planets, asteroids, and other obstacles. Players take turns to manoeuvre their fleets around the playing field with different objectives that help inform decision making. Battlefleet Gothis is considered one of the most tactically-minded games ever produced by Games Workhop and rewards strategy over randomness to a high degree.

Although the wargame's miniatures and rulebooks are no longer supported by Games Workshop, two video game adaptations have been made since its cancellation in 2013.

The playable fleets in the game are:

Imperial Navy, Space Marine Fleets, Chaos Space Marine Fleet, Eldar, Orks, Drukhari, T'au Empire, Tyranid Hive Fleets, Necrons.
