I was able to get one at gen con it looks sweet! It is also a bit bigger than my Brittania bb

**Howard A Treesong**

We have got a little Prussian and British fleet each to try the game. We went a bit mad and started grabbing this and that and ended up spending nearly £100.

The rule book looks top quality, also if you buy some of the box sets you get a sheet of counters to cut up so that means no photocopying stuff out the book.

The Prussian zeppelin aircraft carrier is a brick of a thing and looks great. The Prussians belong to the wife, I went with the home nation.

In the next couple of weeks I hope to undercoat them and then we can try out a game or two!

**Aduro**

I hate to say it Howard, but that is about the worst match up in the game right there. Prussians are a little on the strong side overall, Brits a little on the weak, and then the styles of the two armies let Prussians make short work of most Brit fleets.

**Sattamassagana**

I would disagree, Britannian torpedoes mean you can fire much more at a longer range than the Prussians. True the Prussian lay down a much bigger threat at close range with the guns and boarding skills but it's not a given. Britannian Dive bombers with their additional Ack ack can attack Prussian Tiny Flyers with impunity and then go on the ruin a ship's day.

I have found my Prussian airship carrier to not be a huge amount of use though. Got myself a Magenta class which will take its place in the next engagement, see how that does.

Says the Prussian player...

But no, the Britannians aren't bad per se, but they do suffer from having a naff Battleship and Cruisers. A lot of their other units are very nice, and as said above, can do some nasty damage at long range with massed torpedo fire.

**Dice Monkey**

I did not see anyone else post this the large airships for Britannia, Prussia, and the Empire of the Blazing Sun have been shown.

Britannia

Prussia

Empire of the Blazing Sun

**alphaomega**

I really do like the Kingdom of Britain models.

That large Airship looks brutal.

I am looking forward to picking up some Dystopian very soon.

**Happygrunt**

Must... not... start... Japanese.... NAVY..... GAAAHHHH!!!

Beautiful models. Wish I could an Empire of the Blazing Sun army.

**Pyri**

This beauty went up today on their blog. together with some uncharted sea stuff

**Ruckdog**

Yeah, the really sweet previews are coming fast and furious from spartan! I really love the flying battleship themes the French, British, and CoA have.

Now where are the previews of my American sky fortress?

**Dice Monkey**

A redesign of the Valley is up. Ming the Merciless now has a personal blimp! I love it

**Sarge**

The Prussian model looks uninspired to me. The rest look very cool.

**Dice Monkey**

Gunships are up

**Dice Monkey**

Preview for the Japanese carrier is up.

**Dice Monkey**

Prussian carrier is up with the corvettes coming out on Monday.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Dang they really are going from strength to strength.

If I was back in the US I'd be on this in a heartbeat.

**Dice Monkey**

Corvettes are up and I love the Prussian and Japanese ones.

**porkuslime**

the FSA one reallly reminds me of the foot powered paddle wheel boats I used on lakes as a kid..

with guns.

(and MAN does that Prussian one look like it was made by Dwarves.. )

**Dice Monkey**

The FSA quintuple blimp double deck carrier is up

**vitki**

That's just fun to say

**tanker**

The Warstore has a bunch of the new DW and FA models up for pre-order including the buildings.

**Dice Monkey**

Kingdom of Brittania massive flying aircraft carrier is up. I think they are the most steampunk of all the factions , it does look like something out of a Jules Verne or H G Wells novel.

**Duncan_Idaho**

BIG LIKE!

**Jayce_The_Ace**

That Brittania flying carrier is awesome!!

I'm glad there is an alternative to the seabourne carrier because that thing is one seriously fugly pile of gak.

I'm in the process of trying to knock up a little Brittania fleet as a fun modelling project - judging by these, it's not going to be as small as I thought.

**PhantomViper**

When are these guys going to release the rest of the French fleet!

**Leigen_Zero**

@PhantomViper: I forget the source (might have been something on d6g, may have been on spartan's forums, I can't remember

) but I think they said that they want to get the 'rulebook units' out first, i.e. they want to get all of the models that are in the rulebook into stores (which should be done and dusted fairly soon) before they start doing new forces, so you might be waiting a while I'm afraid...

**Sarge**

It all looks good except for the huge Prussian blimp. I have the same issue with the smaller one too. They just don't look as steampunk as I'd like. I got over it once I played it though.

**Kroothawk**

What is more steampunk than a Zeppelin?

**StringBassKnight**

Sweeeeeetness.

**Dice Monkey**

Covenant carrier is up, kinda looks like the Millennium Falcon or a droid control ship IMO.
