Brothers of the Mark - The Fleet & Scheme Adjustment


BROTHERS OF THE MARK

THE FLEET

The brutal, hungry core of a fleet fallen to the ruinous powers.

 

So, I last worked on my little fleet back in June, when I painted up a test cruiser. I had planned to churn through the remaining over-a-dozen ships, before being entirely swallowed up by the 2024 Call to Arms! Glad I was, too. That was delightful, and gave me some distance to rework the fleet when I came back to it... Like a week and a half ago. I, uh... May have painted a lot of space boats very quickly.

The unholy glory.

 

I've warmed up the scheme, and added a gradient between the back and front, do not try and explain what the points of a boat are called, and settled on a pure blue light and simple, but seemingly effective method to make the turrets visible via drybrushing. I think they look quite fetching, and it's a VERY quick and easy scheme. The current count is 6 frigates, 2 light cruisers, 3 cruisers, and a grand cruiser completed, with 6 more frigates, 3 heavy cruisers, a grand cruiser and battleship to go! You'll note that isn't a legal fleet, not even close, but it's more of a mix-and-match platter for assembling smaller fleets. I'm going to get more basic cruisers to bulk it out for eventually showing up as some 3,000 points worth of chaos nonsense.

Grand Cruiser Spite & Ruin.

 

I should have a chance to play these pretty things soon, in a 'let's see if I like this tabletop game' try-out session that, perhaps, should have come before I fell head-first into painting a dozen of 'em, with another dozen in the works. So it goes.

I saw the fighter-bay glow...

Thanks! Yeah, I never got the chance to grab these back in the day, and frankly wouldn't be willing to shell out for the old metal models now, so here's one circumstance where I'm happy to say 3D printing DOES win out without any provisos or hedging. Have painted 4 more ships since I posted the blog update.
