Haha, I'll take compliments like that any day! Thanks
The plasma Squad actually did better than expected (they lived past turn 1 basically). They were running around with a character (Armistos) who gives them +1 BS. So they're hitting on 2's. They were nasty. One died to an over head but given that's from about 50+ shots in the game I figure that's pretty damn good. As for the Rotor Cannons. I wasn't expecting much from them. 20 str3 shots is a lot but against marines was never going to achieve much. They did pin a squad of Iron Warrior veterans on the first turn though which was funny.
I'm going to hold off on more Titans until my World Eaters are done. Once they're done I'll get back on My Titans. I want to do AT LEAST 3 more Warlords for them. Preferably 5 more because I love punishing myself. There's also 2 more Warmasters in Boxes as well..... Oh my.
As for the World Eaters. I have 20 more Despoilers, 20 Assault Marines, 3 Land speeders, 10 Terminators and a Leviathan to paint. So hardly anything really. Emperor help me.
I'd best get cracking painting some marines then..... sigh.

Back with a bang Borak! Those titans are super clean and lovely the world eaters are stunning too, sounds like they need blood splatter adding from all those kills (for the plasma chaps at least!)

Thanks mate! Yeah, that's not a bad shout actually. They need some blood now that they're, well, bloodied.
Ok, so something random happened. I'm back to painting Gothic. I introduced my son (8) to Red Dwarf and god knows how but he remembered I made a Red Dwarf model (out of my Mass Conveyor). I have NO idea how he remembered this as I did that years ago but the minds of small boys work in strange ways.
So that led me to opening my Gothic cases so he could have a look at it. Which is NEVER a good idea. As soon as saw my Fleet(s) I decided I needed a break from Marines and Gothic was just what I needed.
So here's the first batch of stuff. Six Dauntless light cruisers. I really enjoyed painting these. They're quick to do, great models and it's a nice colour scheme (ever see me doing anything else green?).
More Gothic to come!

All originals. Well, I hope they are!! Some I've had for years so they're definitely 'real'. Some I picked up off Ebay so that's anyone guess. There is a bit of a difference in casting quality (especially at the engines) but GW's quality was all over the place back then so it's hard to tell. I do have some 'knock off' metal ships and the quality was noticeable. So I'm hoping these are all real. I have 3 more unpainted in a box still lol. Although one of those is quite beaten up.
Some of them were missing bridges so I subbed a Chaos one in. I much preferred the look so I swapped them all over!
Currently working on finishing a few cruisers for a different fleet (the grey one with purple prows). So that fleet is all boxed off.
I recently won a bid on Ebay for 8 cruisers and a Battleship (because apparently 12 wasn't enough).

Great looking game, and lovely prow on your battleship. My (3D printer-having) buddies are chattering about getting up to some BFG, and while I'm tempted to print a new fleet (an Inquisition fleet sounds great! but I'd be tempted to do Kroot or something weird), I'm always looking for an excuse to get my Chaos fleet out of storage and back to burning the galaxy down ...

Battleship prow is lovely! Nice fleet your bud has too!
Just what heresy had your imperial commander committed to result in such a spanking from the inquisition anyway!?
Forgot to send a "Happy Sanguinalia" card to his commanding officer this year?
Got caught just blankly miming along to the hymns instead of properly singing in the battleships reclusiam?

Thanks guys
We couldn't roll high enough to remove Blast markers so they just built up! It didn't help that a lot of my ships kept exploding.

Thinking about it, I've never played imperial Vs imperial... I imagine it's a lot of going round in circles... Lol
Played chaos Vs chaos. That's a great game. A well matched fleet makes for some interesting gameplay that relies on some lucky dice rolls...
Should think that Astartes Vs Astartes would be something similar. But rather quicker to finish...

I'll have to try the Chaos Vs Chaos. Although that might well end up as a Heresy Game! I do have a Fairly large chaos fleet that needs finishing. Marines Vs Marines would be very, very brutal.
Managed to get a game in over the weekend. 3000pts a side to get the blood flowing.
We played 'cruiser clash' (with some tweaks) and it came out as an Imperial victory. I'm not sure how but we did more damage to the Chaos fleet than they did to us. It certainly didn't feel that way but there we go. I'll take the win. We've also started a small campaign so I've cobbled a small 750pt fleet out of random odds and sods. Expect pictures of that as soon as I've done them.
I'm also working on a new escort. The original plan for this was to be a 'counts as' Sword or Havoc. It's a bit long and thin and the mid section is a bit longer than it should be really. I'm hoping that when the keel is done it wont look so odd.
I have considered cutting it down and shortening it and turning it into a counts as Cobra. Then working on a Sword in the same style. But I'll see how I feel when it's done.
I'll hopefully get this done this week if I get the chance to Hobby.

Thanks man!! Well, its currently with the caster at the moment. I actually looking forward to seeing this is Resin!! I should hopefully get the first few samples in a couple of weeks. Some bits I have been tinkering with this past week... Fixing some weapon batteries with some 0.5mm brass wire (sorry about the blurry pics!) Bit the bullet and converted up one of my 2-UP Chaos cruisers to be some sort of Gloriana for my Chaos Fleet [i WIP pic of a Battlecruiser for my Gothic fleet After an Ebay lot I ended up with a VERY knackered cruiser. The whole body was warped and twisted (as if it had been heated up and bent). I tried my best to bend it back into shape but it was no good. So, it ended up in a scrap heap. That was until I went to a Maritime museum and saw a WW1 ship called M33. So here we are, the M33, Originally the lunar cruiser "Holy Cudgel" that was so, horrifically damaged that it was to be scrapped and used for parts. However pressure on fleet reserves to come up with reinforcements led to the creation of the M33. Damaged sections of the Holy Cudgel were removed, repaired and she came back into active service, Despite faulty systems and warped hull sections. She would never win any prizes for beauty but she would assist with fleet patrols. (she's a counts as Endurance)

I need to do a lot to the chaos beastie to make it look less like a 2-UP and more fitting with the scale of the other ships. I'm thinking of elongating some of the prow weapon batteries with thin brass wire, adding some smaller turrets/antennae here and there. Plus whatever comes out the bits box.
Well, the 8th Battlecruiser is done. I might go back and do a few more dry brushes to the other 7 cruisers as they're a bit 'flat' compared to the newest one.
Now, I just need to do 6 Lunars, 2 Dictators and 4 Dominators. Easy!!! Although I might do some escorts as a break from the cruiser Hull. I'll see.

Thanks mate! There doesn't seem to be much love for BFG these days :/ I shall continue though!! Right. Well Bad news..... I sent my Escort off to be cast up. Received the first samples to check and they had some missing details. So somewhere along the lines (between putting them in the post to them getting cast up) they were broken. Probably being pulled out of moulds but hey, hum. I got the masters back so I could repair them and EVEN Worse! A huge section of the master was missing (the front under the prow). So, with a heavy heart I condemned the master to the ' History box'. To say I was gutted is putting it lightly. Hours, and hours of work..... However, Mumma don't raise no quitter (that's a saying, right?). I still had the resin samples so, after repairing the missing parts, I took the opportunity to add some different variants (which are mainly just weapons). Every cloud has a silver lining I guess! I haven't really done much painting. Just halfway through doing 15 Firestorms but that's been about it.

That is a cowson of cowsons and no mistake. Still it's allowed you to go back and add even more detail than before so some silver linings in a cloud of third party incompetence/negligence...
And yay to 15 firestorms. Do love me a firestorm...
Also, re. Your casts, Here's to hoping they'll be available to the public soonish, then. Ships of this quality deserve to be shared with every sector in every quadrant of the known galaxy...
Also, yeah..sad to see the loveloss for our beloved bfg. Between our two threads perhaps we can keep it going! Ragsta was threatening more fleet action soon... Must go light a fire under him for that
