Image Description: A picture of my Cadian Cruiser Group with its escort squadrons and swarms of Fury interceptors and Starhawk bombers. I only have one battlecruiser, three cruisers, and seven escort ships. I would like to add more escorts and several Dauntless light cruisers. I also want a few troop transports though I'm not crazy about the models available.
littleboyblues 2009-07-01 20:41:50 are your fighters/bombers painted? Its hard to tell in this pic sorry. Over all good looking fleet. I'm waiting for mine in the mail.
JB 2009-07-01 23:02:29 The fighters and bombers are painted but they are mostly white. The canopies are a shade of blue. The models have some red lights and various colors for squadron markings. One of the bomber squadrons is grey colored. I probably should add a few more details and GS the bases so that the alternating circular sockets are covered up. What type of fleet are you collecting?
littleboyblues 2009-07-03 07:31:41 Space Marines! Painted to match my main 40k army. (I've heard their not a good starting army though) I have 1 battle barg and 12 gladius escorts on their way and 10 Thunderhawks already. GW said they were out of the strike cruisers so I have to go searching for three of those. I've only played about 5 games of BFG but I really enjoyed it and its a great alternative to 40k. And the local crew is cooking up a massive 40k,necro,BFG campaign.
JB 2009-07-04 04:23:36 Nice! I like mixing 40K and BFG. I also like 40K skirmish games though I use home brewed rules instead of Necromunda. I guess I should look at Necro's rules for some ideas. In the future, I would also like to try some Epic.
Aren't Space Marines the best army for starting out? I don't know because I play Orks and IG, but I have a SM army slowly getting built.
littleboyblues 2009-07-04 05:30:03 If you like small scale skirmish games I would check out "Dice like thunder" in their download section they have a homebrew system called firefight thats pretty good. I wish GW still supported their specialist games... Oh well at least all the rules are free now!
