Hmmm...Eldar ship dimensions. That's an interesting question, actually. I tend to generally assume that Eldar ship models are approximately in scale with the models of other races, which would point to 1-1.5 km for the escorts and about 3-4 km for the cruisers. That being said, Eldar ships could easily be much smaller than their IN counterparts, since they are so much more advanced.

Interesting to see the mix of Star Trek minis, seems like a close scale to most of them, SFB say that they are in 1/3788scale, and there are now the new 1/2500 scale and some of the sculptors out there are making ships in 1/3900 scale and even smaller, I have seen some odd 1/7000 scale versions, but that is more the SFB "elite" scale I imagine as you get a very much smaller scale version with usually far less detail than the standard sized ships.

But since the minis represent the design, but the battles fought actually "stem-to-stem" of the display stand, it is just a visual reference for us to work with.

Sadly only the Full Thrust and Firestorm models are mine in those pics. The rest belong to other members of the club, namely the president. Ace of Spades who had responded to some questions in this thread can help you with where they came from. Check out Starship Combat News and look for the independent retailers and casters. You'd be surprised what you can find there.

And third im trying to convert BFG, Startrek, Starwars, B5, and BSG ships into full thrust and i was wondering if anyone had any information on eldar ships such as estimated length or mass kinda of like on the lexicaum for the imperial navy ships?


If you're also converting IN ships, just make the Eldar proportionately smaller (don't know their size), but faster and playtest them. Modify as need be. The BFG rule books might have some insight into the size of Eldar ships, but I don't have anything for you, sorry. Glad you enjoyed the pics! Probably the best club I will ever have the opportunity to play with.

Obviously my fleets!

The Eldar, Chaos and IN fleets see the most action in the club and tend to fare the best overall.

Ace of Spades, I managed to find this catalogue page on the Studio Bergstrom website for Cardassian ships. I was wondering if they come unpainted, as shown, or if the studio paints them before shipping them out.

I have a lot of Star Trek Micromachines, but they only released Galor and Keldon class ships. I'd love to get some of the Hideki-class corvettes and maybe some more Keldon-class dreadnoughts (I only have two of them). Before I buy any though I just wanted to double check with you, or anyone else on this site, who knows if that site is reliable to buy from.

I'd also like some more variety in my Federation fleet. What would be a good site to get Federation ships of the same scale as the Studio Bergstrom ones?
