Love those bases!

A model that is lacking a proper base is an unfinished model

Its a shame i did trade my box emp. vessels for more chaos vessels

Figured i'd post these up in here:





I painted these well over 10 years ago, probably shortly before the game was discontinued. If I were to paint more today I might've gone with the green/white scheme, or shifted the metallic hull to more of a bone color.

Neat stuff nonetheless, Thargrim

Finally got around to taking a proper picture of the fleet. Autumn Twilight's 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.

Complete aside, but I’ve a big set of the Industrial Zone terrain for LI. which means I’ve a load of the cranes.

I’m not going to be using all of them, so will end up with spares. And it strikes me they might make a solid basis for BFG ships.



Can be assembled as one of two lengths as it is.

Anyone interested, let me know.

Still got a couple left in case anyone else wants them.

I only charge postage, as I always feel weird putting a price on stuff I’m just not using.

Too bad you’re an ocean away, or I’d take you up on the offer.

Gothic today to start the year! Finished off Warrior of Ice, Thunder's Mighty Roar and Lamento Eroico as well as some volcanic globes.




More in the spoilers!

Apparently I forgot to put up some pics from a fun little four-player participation game I ran at our RPG club for a handful of newbies. Chaos fleet attempts a planetary invasion, but manages to crush the Imperial defence before any boots hit the ground as the defending admiral decides to save their crippled and burning ships and leaves the fearful world to its fate.

Fresh from the void-docks today, painted over two days: cruisers Abyss of Pain, Echoes of Tragedy & Unholy Warcry, light cruisers Crystal Moonlight & Flash of the Blade as well as the escort squadron In Tenebris sail out.

1200 points Fleet Engagement, the Imperial wedge smashed into a Chaos pirates' encircling trap but eventually battered their way through with the Dauntless squadrons relentlessly staying in the maneuver game until the very end.

Click 'em bigger!

All ace.

Great stuff there, Horizon. The Xenos in particular.

Found some Eldar in the boxes and wanted to branch out from my regular Zorn palette a bit with some psychedelic thermal synthwave shenanigans. The first attempt on the Aconites failed, as there just was no kick to it. Then I went and bought a couple of Vallejo's fluo paints and most importantly, finally some magenta. With that, the pair of Hellebores got a whole new vibe.

Apocalypse-class battleship The Mighty Ride of the Firelord sets sail towards the stars. An afternoon's paintjob which almost failed at the start, when my superglue exploded all over the base
