Battlefleet Gothic is a miniature game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It deals with the space combat aspect of the universe, and particularly the events surrounding the Gothic War. The game background is explored in the novels Execution Hour and Shadow Point. Battlefleet Gothic is part of Games Workshop's Specialist Games range and has its own line of miniatures.
Battlefleet Gothic is the exciting game of spaceship battles in the dark future of the 41st Millennium. Huge fleets of enormous starships engage in ship to ship combat amongst the darkness of the galaxy in a struggle for the domination of the Gothic Sector!
You command either a valiant fleet of the Imperial starships in the name of the Emperor of Mankind or an insidious horde of Chaos heretics whose only purpose is to subjugate and destroy all they encounter to sate the dark desires of their foul gods. There are also other races involved in the conflict, like the mysterious Eldar and the crude and brutal Orks. Whatever force you choose to command, you are in control of a million tons of awesome, Warpdrive-powered fury cutting through the void of interstellar space!
Your force is represented by models from the Citadel Miniatures range that you paint and assemble yourself. There are plenty of ships included in the boxed game to get you started and our hardworking Miniature Designers have got an entire range of incredible Battleships, Cruisers, Frigates and Gunships available to be deployed for battle.
