Space fleet !

OK, I've claimed high enough that I love Space Fleet so I had to get serious about it and paint something. Thantsants did push me over the edge and here's teh result of all this.

You can read all about I had to say about Space fleet in general in these articles HERE and HERE and I've also made a thorough description of my force in an earlier post as well HERE.

All you can want to red about painting and other sordid details is recorded in this blogpost.

Aha, I have the firm intention to be back for BOYL 2017 and have a game with you guys !
 
Re: Space fleet Tyranids

The large sea creature ships look particularly good as miniatures, and look excellent in your paintjobs. Well done! The capital ships are ace.

Re: Space fleet Tyranids

And thus it begins - first few ships of the Tyranids start to form up at the fringes of the galaxy!

I've started to read the fluff on this stuff ( manage to get my hands on the appropriate WD's) described these things as beautiful and deadly, so I'm using the colours of a Kingfisher for my inspiration - enjoy

Re: Space fleet Tyranids

More Tyranid ships join the vanguard, following their discovery of apparently undefended resources, where are the locals? :lol:



More to follow, enjoy 8-)

Re: Space fleet Tyranids

More Tyranid Drones join the vanguard, as their infiltration goes unchecked, but where are the Hive ships, they got to be close by!

Enjoy

I've always wanted to have all forces done for Space fleet, so here's the 2nd third done.
They're speed painted as you can see but I wanted something fast rewarding and with no nonsense. Washes over a white basecoat and a few details and they were done !





More about them in the blogspot as usual.

Good thing is I now have free hands to get to the big meal : the imperial forces ! :grin:

Well they look amazing! From the both of you! I guess I'm just going to have to paint up the imperial fleet I bought 10 years ago and 'never got around to!'

Are we gonna have a game at BOYL if I get some done!

Cheers guys !

We are definitely going to play some of it and I fully intend to have the opportunity to link those games with Epic games and RT ones as well ! So far I believe we have 4 players bringing fleets and tiles and more. I'll bring all I have for Space fleet anyway. I can now move on to painting my imperial force which will be divided into 2 parts to allow HH era games as well.
