Updated 12/03/2024
A lot has changed since I last played this game (many moons ago) however since GW killed off the game back in 2013, the community has forged ahead and taken ownership of the game. The rules are now freely available online as a living rulebook named Battlefleet Gothic Remastered. There are also some fan rulesets out there called Battlefleet Gothic XR and BFG 2020, but it is recommended you start off with BFG Remastered.
For models there are some great 3rd party designs and 3d printing has really come to the rescue with there being some awesome free STL files out there. Some of which look identical to the original models and others are great brand new designs.
-------The Rules-------
This book contains the original rules plus the Armada expansion and 2010 FAQ. I highly recommend you go with this.
