Cheers Ragsta, yeah there was a little slip there, corrected now, but it has been on my to maybe lean towards the dark side for a little. I obviously originally meant the iron hands, as the api t scheme will attest to, however I have got a small chaos force, courtesy of the combat patrol series, and I do like the look of new iron warriors spruce that they have released.
Thanks for the advice on the painting, I like the suggestions so will move them back to the painting table and sort them out!

Hey gobert, I’m quite proud of the cloak, lots and lots of different grey layers in there right up to the white. Aes me want to go back over one or two other cloaks and improve them considerably!
They are nice models, I’ll have to decide whether the next 5 get designated blue or gifted to a different t project!

Evening all, so bit of history, I’ve had a fascination with battlefleet gothic since it was released. I loved the idea of it, however - for me - it was released at the wrong time, I was young, short of pennies and couldn’t recall justify it. If it is ever released again I’ll be in trouble, or if I manage to find a complete box set anywhere!
As a slight way to satisfy my craziness I decided to resort to the next best thing after models …. Lego!!
So as a deviation from the normal and with no paint brush raised my I present a frigate and cruiser!!

Bravo! Very cool work.

Now work up some xenos and chaos ships to fight.

Very cool! the Coloration really adds to the effect.

I've seen these Lego warships before, how cool one of us Dakkaites has them! I nearly ended up getting a Nebulon B in brick form myself- I linked it to my wife and requested it as a gift but then I realised it was like 20 inches long and hastily retracted the request- that's alot of space for minis you know!!!

Battlefleet Gothic... Did you see my reply to you on my thread? It's alive and well in the online community and the models aren't tooooo pricey ya know

Evening all,
So far I’ve only seen imperial ships, no chaos or xenos, although there are plenty of Star Wars ships to choose from. Temu has some benefits.
I almost didn’t get the cruiser, I thought the length was going to be a challenge (it’s only 400mm) but space was made on the shelf. Some of those other models are crazy size - they look awesome - but crazy crazy!!
Hey Ragsta - Thanks for the response on BFG, I’ve seen the scrouge scenics stuff before, it looks nice and part of me does want to get some but they are going to redo it at some point I’m sure so I’m going to wait a little for now. Although the temptation is great!!!

This weeks modelling efforts are shown below. I’ve put together a few marines (support squads for my imperials fist and iron hands) and I’ve been painting a second company tactical squad. It’s been slow going but I’m almost there just the arms to finish off, then bases and squad markings and they will be good to go.

Hmmmm, I kind of wish I hadn't looked into this thread and discovered that BFG Lego was a thing... but they are very cool! Might not be overly practical for gaming with though lol

The marines look like they're coming along well too.
