And honestly... we're probably better of that way >_>

Plenty of new ships have been in the works since then, a bunch of them have even been submitted for production!
That's good to know !
'til now, we only saw ships with a "moderate" size. Do you have the intention to make way bigger ships, like battleship or dreadnought size ?
Don't misunderstand me, I love destroyers, frigates and cruisers all the same, but it would be nice to have a broader roster I believe.
It's funny you're mentioning that! I've just submitted a Zeus pattern Grand Cruiser and I'm currently working on various Light Cruiser sized ships.
A battleship for the Battlegroup Helios line was in the works (not by me personally), but it's delayed due to the immense production costs of such a model.

Sweet ! I love the Zeus pattern's design, can't wait to see what it looks like !
Yes, I understand it takes a bigger toll on production - but if we already have cruisers / battlecruisers size, it will help us players a lot for sure already !

Very nice, just thinking how those self-propelled guns would look with Marine gun loaders (and think it would probably look quite cool!)
Good that these are quite reasonably priced and with the choice of crew as well.

Very nice - so looking at the scale these are an Eldar Knight-type size?
That's not a bad price if that's for the unit of 3.

They are lovely - although prefer the smaller heads - is there enough in the pack to do all three with that rather than one with the larger head?

Very nice models indeed. Definitely using those for Horizon Wars. If lacking authenticity then there's the Aeronautica eldar models on the way, for air support...

I mean, Hagia Sophia was originally a Cathedral.

Well, that itself is based off Istambul's Yeni Cami, which was in turn based off Hagia Sophia, so... yeah? ^^
