The first Scandinavian cruiser is finished:

I like the port side battle damage

I decided to split a starterset for Dystopian Wars with a buddy and found myself loving painting these 2mm scale warschips. I opted for the covenant of the enlightened half of the starterset. The ships themselves aren't that tiny. The smallest type (frigates) are about the size of a standard 28mm infantry game.





Hope you like them!

Amazing work! I have a demo of DW today. How do the Enlightened play in game?

They are the quintessential glass cannon faction. High damage output through unique weapons, but with a high pricetag, making the fleet feel a bit more frail than the "traditional" nation counterparts.

But if you love the sci-fi elements of this game, the Enlightened have a ton of that (especially now with the latest big box they got).

Also, have fun on your first demo game! I personally think this game is an absolute hidden gem in today's wargaming scene. It tough financial times for everybody and seeing a company produce a game that has a low barrier to entry (with fairly low model count games) while giving you a ton of models in the fleet boxes, is pretty refreshing.

Thank you so much for the info and the well wishes. It truly seems like a killer game. I love the models sculpts and I heard it plays faster (time wise) than the average game of Armada by Mantic. So that's a plus too in our book.
Sadly there was a covid exposure so we all couldn't get together today out of caution. But soon I hope. cheers.

The new 2-player starterset is out (called Sturginium skies) and I've started on the first model of that box:

Glorious! Where'd you get the wee airplanes flying under the zeppelin?

Those can be found on the Prussian support squad sprues (you will find them in the new 2player starter set as well).

These planes are mean to sit below the deck of the Konrad cruisers... But if you are not building those models, you will have 4 tiny airplanes to do conversions such as these.

The excellent quality of the models you've produced make you and them an excellent salesforce for this game- I'm finding myself having to look into it further. I started ut looking at your last post and had to go to the very beginning to read all the way through- very excellent work!

The concept of the game is intriguing and the relatively small space to get started is certainly attractive too.

I look forward to gaining more inspiration here.

Thank you!

The guys over at OnTableTop (the old BeastsOfWar) have actually done a whole week dedicated to Dystopian Wars in case you are interested: https://www.beastsofwar.com/how-to-play-dystopian-wars/

The Crown just received some Aerial reinforcements with these Prydain War Rotors:

Oh man, those are so nice! Love the colors on those Rotors

Work continues on the flyers!

The Prussian Jaeger Fast Destroyers are done. For those wondering about scale, they are about as long as a GW infantry model is tall. Some very fine detail on these guys, especially the iconography.

Very cool. You've got a good balance of crisp paint job and weathering.

Thank you.

I've just finished off the Prussian half of the Sturginium skies starter set:

More airships!

Tintagel ships for the Crown:



And more Kriegsturm for Prussian Air Dominance!

So far Prussians really are getting some awesome airships!

Fantastic paintwork as always

Amazing work!

Thank you.

And the last unit from Sturginium Skies is making it's way to the open seas/air: the Saxon Scout rotors:

I've been working on something BIG! Terrain...



Hopefully, this can lead to a few fun coastal bombardment missions!

Oh, that looks amazing!

I've been continuing my work on the terrain. I'm aiming for a bit of a modular system that will allow the islands to be connected via bridges (soon).

The terrain is absolutely fantastic

And the first parts of the Latin Alliance are finished: The French!

You're making it REALLY hard for me to stick to my Sultanate force!!

Awesome painting!

Wow. Those are MAGNIFICENT

Thank you! I've finished 2 more heavy Charlemagne class cruisers for the French:



Still have to add their flags though.

Man, the amazing terrain just brings this all up to the next level!

I need to get paint on mine to achieve such standards of wonder

and possibly get one of those sea play mats
