So, a while back a friend and I were discussing starting BFG again, and been enjoying my new DE army a lot recently I had a look at the DE ships. Wasn't impressed, they are pretty bland if you ask me, so I decided not to go for it. But this morning I was messing about with my DE bits box and I started putting spare parts together and, well, ended up building a 1000pt fleet out of spare parts. I'm pretty chuffed with the results, and thought I'd show them off here. Hopefully I can save another DE player a few quid.

The fleet:


Cruiser with Launch Bays (and Archon):


Cruiser with Lance:


Escorts with Lances:


I decided that Phantom Lances look a lot like giant splinter rifles, due to having a lot of those spare.

I'll put up some more pics when they're painted.

Great job! Those look very convincing.

Really nice work. Its always good to find a good use for spare bits

Thanks guys!

they look cute!

Haha, cute isn't exactly what I was going for. Hopefully they'll look a bit more menacing with some paint on them.
