I have a couple different threads floating around on both these topics, so I am going to try to pull them all into one thread that I can update continually. First off, here are the related posts:

Magnetizing BFG Imperial Cruisers: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/285491.page

Sword Frigate Test Scheme: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/285787.page

Now for some new content (Some are WIPs):

Fleet update: I've been working on basing them and getting them set up into their formations. So far I have about 1/2 of them drybrushed and just waiting for detail picking. So far, only the one Sword is completely done, with running lights completed. All of them have completed bases, however. For those interested, to get that star effect you simply take an old toothbrush, dip it in some white paint (not too much, just enough to get the ends of the bristles wet) and use your finger to flick paint onto the desired object. Beware, it can get messy. Some pics:

Any update on these at all? They're looking good so far

Actually, now that you mention it, there are a few things:

The Mars Cruiser Litanie De'Talio, which means "Litany of Retribution" has been finished, "Jeeves" the servo-cherub got finished as well, and last night I received my Chaos fleet that I had snagged off ebay for a mere 80 bucks that includes:

1 Planetkiller
1 Despoiler class Battleship
1 Repulsive class Grand Cruiser
1 Styx class Heavy Cruiser
1 Acheron class Heavy Cruiser
1 Murder/Carnage class Cruiser (haven't figured out which it is yet)
1 Slaughter class Cruiser
3 Idolators
3 Infidels
3 Iconoclasts
1 Package of fighters
1 Package of mines
Multiple spare chaos parts.

We want to make tyranids a part of our 40k campaign, so we are trying to figure out ways to build some tyranid ships on the cheap.

So here are a couple of "Skeleton" WIPs I have going for it. Keep in mind that this is just the groundwork, I am still working on the greenstuff sculpting to tie it together.
