Alright then, Gabriel you have a choice to make, you can go to the planet now, fight a BFG battle now, and maybe go to to planet even if you lose, or go to the asteroid belt. Just remember that you might not be able to repair damage if you flee to the planet after losing. If he pursues you to the planet after winning you carry over damage.
So do Huntzy and I just arrange when to have our game, or is there some sort of formal process we need to go through first?
Heh.
Heh, indeed.

Nope just arrange a game yourselves. the only formalities are: be sure your lists are posted, and be sure to do your aftermath rolls and experience gain rolls in front of your opponent at the end of the game, if there is an aftermath step.

Current System Map:
YOU GET A FREE FLEET COMMANDER, AND YOU CAN'T BUY A DIFFERENT ONE.
The leadership and number of re-rolls starts out low and gets better, that's kinda the whole part of playing a campaign. Check page 153 of the Big blue book, the campaign section, for specifics. Or refer to the special rules I made up for your race if it isn't there.
To determine renown points, VP are divided by 100, rounding up. So:
3 renown points for VP.
1 renown point for completing my Extended Duty subplot, and not getting my ass kicked (so I was really lucky Huntzy pulled out early - he would've been in range to start hitting me with Lock On! bombardment cannons his next turn...)
Damn, look at me now, I'm so renowned I'm INfamous!
Also, correcting my list, because I was intimidated by the rulebook saying YOU MUST TAKE A CHAOS LORD! I will instead spend that 50 points on one more Infidel escort.
Elder, aside from Huntzy's move, do you need anything more from us?
That's what she said :winky:
It was too good to pass up.
You forgot +2 for winning the battle. Congrats, you just got promoted, choose a new mark of chaos.
Well it depends on if you want to pursue, I think you said you would not pursue him. So then there would be an aftermath step: roll for crew experience, repair, make appeals.
That's cool man, you can always jump back in later if you find more time.
For raiding fleets, not that you know of, yet.
After thinking about this this morning, I realized that there is no reason for raiding fleets to ever be in an approach. So I am going to clarify that Raiding fleets move from planet to planet, and if they are forced to flee they will flee to the asteroid belt. Really there are just here to get some more 40k games in. So I moved Skarsol to high orbit, and Pollo gets to be in high orbit.

If anyone has time to run through a BFG practice game or two though I'd greatly appreciate it, but if not it's no biggie.
I'll throw up a 40K list tomorrow when I get a chance.
Doesn't exactly help that 'nids BFG rules are slightly more restrictive than normal BFG rules. What timezone are you Halos? I'd love to brush up on BFG as well (Can't exactly right now cause I'm at work, but give it a few hours...)

++Xeno-magus Hedrickson reporting on reported 'Tyrannic' sightings in Aestas-8 segment++
Second Log: Having arrived upon Imperial Cruiser [[Classified]] stationed close to the Aestas system I was able to view the reports myself and there can be no doubt; at some point Tyranids have claimed and had begun harvesting the planet in Aestas-8 quadrant. Activity appears to have ceased now however. How did they get there in the first place? Did they arrive before the Warpstorms and lost connection to their gestalt Hive Mind? Or was their some route through the storms which only their bestial will could navigate? There are rumours of sending research posts down to the planet and I intend to be one of them.
Third Log: I was amongst the first wave of Imperial forces down to the planet surface. Supported by a full 3 platoons of Tetrean 3rd Imperial Guard, there are even rumours of Astartes being deployed but I'm sure that is just hearsay. So far there has been no sign of Tyrannic activity, only the chitinous remains of long-dead feeder organisms overgrown with native flora.
Fourth Log: It appears that my inital reports of Tyranid activity were somewhat optimistic, there are almost certainly Tyranid elements still hunting actively on this planet. The vox is rife with details of sightings; dark shapes in woods, tunnel systems beneath the planets top-stratum. We lost contact with Marrin's base [[Designation: 104/TC]] their last message was static interjected with screams and ravings to 'watch the shadows.' The attacks so far however appear defensive and animalistic, it seems that the link to the Hive Mind has been lost at some point and whatever organisms still survive here are little more than beasts.
Fifth Log: We woke it up, we should not have been so hasty deploying here, Imperial Guard fire teams exploring the labyrinthine tunnel network found some sort of node chamber, there presence looks to have woken some sort of 'Commnder-Beast.' The men call it the 'Bloodkeener,' when it appears the Tyranids certainly stop acting like dumb brutes; it guides them and leads them, we are being out-fought and out-flanked.
Sixth Log: This is likely to be my final entry. The Bloodkeener is close and it's forces closer. It is my duty as Xeno-Magus to relay information regarding the foul enemies of mankind and the Emperor [[Glory be unto Him]] to my superiors and so such shall be my final act: These are undoubtedly the remnants of a Tyranid vanguard fleet, they may have been hibernating here waiting for contact from the Hive Will for many hundreds of years. The dispersal of the Warpstorms and arrival of fresh Biomass has stirred them and they are continuing to carry out their objective. No doubt a signal has already been sent to the closest Hive Fleet and some foul tendril is unravelling to kill us all, Aestas-8 is doomed, we are all doomed. [[Commiserat Notice: Xeno-Magus Hendrickson is clearly delirious by this point, the remainder of his manuscript is gibberish about the 'power of the Hive Mind.' Obviously no such power exists and the rest of the text has been Redacted for morale purposes.]]
Bleh I haven't played 1500pts in ages so this is probably pretty shoddy, plus I'm going for a fluffy vanguard assault style thing so it's probably not the most optimised list in the world (it has Lictors in for a start...)
However, I refer you to FAQ#3 :
