Don your monocles and prepare yourselves for death in the Void ladies and gentlemen, because the much anticipated (by us at least) Battlefleet: Heresy book is complete!
Within you will find rules for waging war in the depths of space during the Horus Heresy and Great Crusade era. Along with rules for every Legion you will find full rules for every heresy-legal ship, special heresy missions, and rules for waging campaigns between the stars in the 31st Millenium!
There’s even rules for the pioneering fleets of the Rogue Trader’s Militant! For more experienced BFG players we also have included the H33 advanced attack craft rules, and rules for playing BFG/BFH using alternating activations.
Clocking in at a whopping 155 pages, this is the definitive guide to Battlefleet: Heresy. Good Hunting!

Within you will find the Rules for playing the Fleets of Mars in Battlefleet: Heresy. Based on the BFG Ships of Mars rules, these rules are fairly well balanced against the other BFH fleets, though additional work is being done before we feel they are complete.

Check out the Richmond 30K Facebook page and ask around! Plenty of people here have fleets and would love to take them out for a spin!
Question: may all ships with torpedo tubes carry boarding torpedoes? Or only such ships with Astartes crew? If the latter, may such ships without an Astartes crew take boarding torpedoes as an upgrade (e.g., +5 points)?
Per Austin: “Only Astartes crew may take boarding torpedoes.”
Such an awesome book, thanks so much for doing this beauty up (as well as answering my questions so quickly the other day). An amazing starting point for new and returning players … BFH is a 3D printers dream.

A a couple of questions about Rogue Trader Militant (RTM) fleet composition:
(1) Do RTM fleets have to comply with the normal, general fleet command/composition rules (e.g., Special Rules, p.5; Fleet Command, p.6; Fleets of the Great Crusade, pp.8-9)?
(2) Assuming the answer to the first question is yes, do Heavy/Superheavy Transports (listed in their respective profiles as “Cruisers”) count as cruisers for purposes of RTM fleet composition (e.g., “One Battleship may be included for every 3 cruisers in the Fleet, per 1,000 points”; “A fleet may include one Grand Cruiser, Heavy Cruiser, or Battle Cruiser per 2 Cruisers”)?
Any clarification is appreciated!
No, their fleet comp rules are purely self-contained. Yes this means you can have a battleship with just a swarm of escorts in a sufficently large game. Our thought process is a RTM gets ships via personal finances/reputation, not by assignment with an eye to an overarching fleet doctrine. So the pull that could get him a trio of cruisers couldd also maybe get him a battleship. But he’d have to be MUCH more important to get both of those things.
