Battlefleet Gothic: Terrain - Scenario objectives

Both these vessels come from a now out of print range of Doctor Who spacecraft. Both of them are straight out of the box, I haven't done any painting on these.

The first is a Judoon vessel, but I use it as a Space Hulk.

it came with the lunar base

The second vessel is the S.S. Madame de Pompadour from The episode 'The girl in the fireplace'. It's an alien artefact in our BFG games.

Battlefleet Gothic: Terrain - asteroids

Here we have two sets of asteroids

These were made from polyfilla, a long time ago

These were left in my BFG box from last time we played, they belong to Oli Wigham

Both sorts

Battlefleet Gothic: Terrain - Planet and (that's no) Moon

First, a planet. This is made from a large polystyrene ball, purchased from Hobbycraft. Dirt cheap and effective if painted convincingly.

A far simpler paint job on this ball from the same bag, but it does the trick

Battlefleet Gothic: Red dwarf

Produced by Corgi, it's perfect for space games, and even has a perfectly balanced games workshop flying base sized hole. As seen straight out of the packet, no painting by me. You can still find these if you look around.

See the rest of the Tau fleet

Firestorm Armada: Tarakian flotilla addendum and Syndicate Battleship

Some new additions from Salute for this 'was finished' project - Spartan have released frigates for the Tarakians, so I'll be sorting these out at some point.

The Tarl class frigates sit next to a painted cruiser from my flotilla

Also purchased, something I've been after for some time - A Syndicate Phantom class Battleship.

No doubt they will get painted sometime this century. :/

Firestorm Armada: Rense System Navy fleet

This project took far longer than I wanted it to - 13 months in all, though several of them were just 'stall' periods where I couldn't raise the enthusiasm to finish stuff.
Overall, I'm not as pleased with this project as I was with my previous Firestorm Armada foray. I think, as I've mentioned in previous posts, that I overcomplicated the painting. Another lesson learned. 

So, on with the pictures:

Destroyer and Escorts

I wanted to convey the 'Elite' nature of the RSN, so I decided each vessel would have a unique fin identification. The destroyers would have this plus another group id marker. I'm happy with some of them. The Frigates and Escorts were painted freehand, whereas I used decals for the larger ships.

I'm glad these are finally off the table. I have a Marauders project for F:A to do at some point, but I think I'll be working on my Laserburn 15mm and Dystopian Wars projects before they get underway, not even mentioning the others. (Oh, I just mentioned them :/)
