Welcome to Port Maw!

What exactly is Port Maw you ask? Well Port Maw is a community-driven website dedicated to the tabletop hobby game Battlefleet Gothic (BFG for short), by Games Workshop. For those of you familiar with Warhammer 40,000, but have never heard of Battlefleet Gothic before, You could say that BFG is the space component of 40K. BFG is the game of the Warhammer 40K universe where you get to command the fleets of starships against each other in a battle for supremacy. The 40K races that currently have fleets (or at least a couple ships) in Battlefleet Gothic are the Imperium (Imperial Navy), Chaos, Eldar, Craftworld Eldar, Dark Eldar, Tau, Necrons, Tyranids, and the Orks. There are also Rogue Trader and a few other "free agent" type ships available as well.

So what is our goal? Our goal here at Port Maw is to provide you with a single unified source for all your Battlefleet Gothic needs. It has been over eight years now since Battlefleet Gothic was first published by GW, and the support the game is getting is sparse at best. If we want our game not only to survive but to thrive and grow, it is up to us as the community that enjoys it to be that support! That is what we are here for.

A great article on how to write good battle reports appeared over on one of the 40k blogs I read called Maunderings of a 40K Gamer. The article discusses how to write better battle reports and gives some really great tips on how to do so.

There are some really great tips in this article (and the rest of the site has a lot of sweetness of craft as well).

Make sure you check it out and tell them Port Maw sent you!

A new article on Battlefleet Gothic has appeared over on Bell of Lost Souls. It appears to be a guest post by The Painting Corp.

This time it is more on the hobby and the art of painting. Specifically it about how to paint nebulas on your gameboard covers. It is a pretty interesting technique.
