In the grim darkness of my teenage years, there was only heavy metal and classic art. Armed thus with a budding love of the baroque and some Italian bangers, I experimented with browns, reds and bone to create a fleet of my own with a naming scheme straight out of Rhapsody of Fire. Now, some 15 years later, it's time to continue the project and attack that mountain of unpainted things. Funnily enough, BFG ships are very zen to paint between all the more conversion-intensive projects.

All began with some new torpedo markers, created in a spur of the moment from AI Ork wingbombs while prepping for a game...



The first proper additions to Autumn Twilight's battlefleet followed soon after. Two Dauntless light cruisers Deadly Omen and Raging Starfire, escorted by Silent Dream, a squadron of Cobra torpedo boats and In Tenebris, a Falchion gunboat. Painted while chatting and helping at a university club's freshman event.






With that spark lit, another batch of BFG happened next week. All painted in a day without too pronounced detailing. Vis Divina and two escort squadrons, Tears of Pain and Winter's Rain.

Beautiful work!

The free hand everywhere is immaculate!

Wonderful as always Sherry. The use of colour to replicate light in your work is always excellent.

And of course, the bases are superb .

Thank you ingtaer, bong and Gordy.

Finally got around to taking a proper picture of the fleet. Battlegroup Rhapsody of Fire in its eternal glory.

This year's new additions at the front (bases with red clouds), everything else painted somewhere around 2009 as a teenager with paints now long gone from the shelves. There's about as much stuff still waiting for their turn in the painting queue.
