What rules, book, companion due I need for Eldar ship rules in Battle Fleet Gothic?

Pictors Studio03 Nov 2009 10:28 p.m. PST

They are in the main rule book.

There's also a bunch of extra stuff in the Armada book – Void Stalker battleship, corsairs etc. You can download them all on the GW site for free.

You'll probably smack your opponents around too, at least until someone shows up with Necrons…

It looks like the GW site only has stats for 3 ships (as do the original rules). The Armada book does not look downloadable, unless I am missing the link.

Its on there, just not called Armada.

The Main Eldar fleet is in
BFG_Ships_of_the_Gothic_Sector.pdf (or it should be) These are the ones from the original rulebook.

From Armada:

3 more Eldar ships in BFG_Xenos_Fleets.pdf

The Wraithfleet is in BFG_Doom_of_the_Eldar.pdf

With another ship in BFG_Yriels_Raiders.pdf

Whoever laid out these pdf's like that needs extensive beating, but all the BFG rules are free to download,

Outstanding RJ!. Thank u!

The reason they're in different files is that the original Eldar Raider cruisers and escorts are in the Battlefleet Gothic rulebook, the battleship and light cruisers (available from Forgeworld) are in Armada, the Craftworld ships (a cruiser, a light cruiser and an escort) were in one issue of Fanatic magazine and Yriel's flagship was in another issue.

As for the Armada book, it's up there. You want
BFG Imperial Fleets
BFG Traitor Fleets
BFG Xenos Fleets (Eldar, Orks, Dark Eldar)
BFG Necron and Tyranid Fleets and
BFG Tau Fleets
for (almost all) the Armada material. Everything listed above that is the BFG rulebook, everything below is counter sheets and stuff from Fanatic Magazine.

There's also the Tau fleet list on Forgeworld's website.

"There's also the Tau fleet list on Forgeworld's website."

If that's the same one they put in the Imperial Armor book, it is poorly regarded by BFG players and the authors of BFG. It was done by FW with no input from Specialist, and Specialist staff was slapped down when they attempted to provide corrections to point values, grammar, etc. Use them with caution.
