I mentioned in my journal that I had been working on two ships for my Imperial fleet for Battlefleet Gothic. Well, I finished the Gothic-class cruiser last night. And here she is, the Gethsemane, part of my Battlefleet Calixis/Koronus. The number of lances on the Gethsemane is a bit insane, but other than torpedoes, she has no other capital-ship class weapons. She will be squadron-ed with a Lunar-class most probably. Let the batteries knock down the shields, then rip 'em up with lances.
My Imperial fleet is making good progress: I have a Mars-class battlecruiser (Gryphon) as the flagship, the Gethsemane, a Lunar-class cruiser (Hand of Redemption), two Dauntless-class light cruisers (Hawk and Aegis), 3 Sword-class frigates and 3 Firestorm-class frigates. Plus the Vengeance-class grand cruiser that now needs paint. :)
Battlefleet Gothic, Warhammer 40k, etc. are (c) Games Workshop

Other than using d6's for dice, not really. All the measurements are in centimeters instead of inches, as well. There's a movement phase, a shooting phase, an ordinance phase (for fighters, bombers, torpedoes, etc.), and the end of turn phase. The game originally started with just Imperial, Chaos, Eldar and Ork fleets. And cruisers are the mainstay of everyone's fleet (except for maybe Eldar). The other races were added later (and they broke the game with Necrons).
Unfortunately, you're unlikely to find models or games as GW stopped supporting the game quite a few years ago.

i think there may be a resurgance in interest in it if the new PC game turns out to be a thing thats worth a damn, GW may decide to start making stuff again if they see they can make some more money, you know how much they love to charge 80 bucks for three models :P

Until about a year ago, GW made the rules for BFG available for free on their own site. There's a thread on where to find them now at http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=5203.0 .

I have a few ships myself :)
I finished off a converted chaos battleship not to long ago :)-
Well, I hope you have a group of people to play with! I unfortunately do not, and only have played once with a full fleet. :(

Amazing! Your choice in colours is absolutely the first as my original fleet. I've still got a handful of them lurking around, though you've gone for a lighter grey along the hull. Mars-class flagship? Oh, you better believe that's a check. ;D

I'm kinda going off of the colors for Battlefleet Koronus from the Rogue Trader RPG. And I am shamelessly stealing the ship names, too.

There's a certain pleasure in playing games with ships that have 'history,' I find. There was an in-store Battlefleet Gothic campaign that ran for four weeks during the run-up to the Fall of Medusa V when I was working there, so it was fun to start with vessels of my own device and start building their history through play. Playing Attack Wing, though, I do absolutely know the strangely visceral joy of putting down a piece of plastic and cardboard to say, "That's the Enterprise!"

does BFG work on a similar ruleset as the normal infantry 40k? I know little to nothing about it
