Odd choice. I know they're not quite BSG, and based off of a different lisence... but still...

**Cheese Elemental**

If these are 28mm scale, that's daylight robbery.

**aka_mythos**

According to the website the larger ships are 11.9cm or 4.6 inches, weighing almost half a pound. That and the fact its from some licensed material, at $30 those are a bit of a steal. When battlefleet gothic first came out the large capital ships were $35-$45 and about the same size, the BFG ships are even more now.

**Kilkrazy**

Very nice designs and good detail.

$30 per ship sounds a lot to me.

I don't care if they are officially licensed, though obviously others will.

Are they metal or resin?

**Noble713**

Wolf's Shipyard has always been a fun site to visit, nice to see his designs in the flesh.

That said, I wouldn't pay those prices for the minis, but that's partly because I don't have an interest in ships that huge.

**aka_mythos**

I think its funny how despite paying as much as we do for gamesworkshop models, people have a problem with something thats actually cheaper than GW and actually has a lot more going on.

I think they're pretty cool. I may have to get some.

**em_en_oh_pee**

All these need is a camera darting in and out around them, for the complete BSG feel.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Really rather tempting.

Not fussed if I ever use them for anything, because sometimes, a model just begs to be owned.

**Kyrolon**

The IWM ships are nice, but are overpriced compared to other BSG lines. I prefer these sellers. I have ships from both, and am very pleased with them at the same scale and 1/2-2/3 the IWM price.

Great details, nice models. I like them!

**Ghaz**

And of course those are resin as compared to white metal so there's definitely going to be a price difference.

Yeah, but BFG ships looked better. These IWM ships aren't the same quality as Citadel IMO.

Battlefleet: Gothic capital ships aren't "even more" now. Except for the Kroot Warsphere, the most expensive BFG capital ship is $35.

These BSG ships are pretty decent. I like BFG ships better too, but the styles are pretty different. These BSG ships could fit in a BFG game though, maybe as Rogue Trader ships or something.
