Isiah Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Nicely put together fleet and really well painted. It's been a few years since I've seen so many painted vessels in one place at one time. Great names too :).

Vaaish Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks! I've gone back through and updated the pics to not have the green/yellow cast and better contrast.

Bigger-than-Jesus Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's always good to see support for the SGs on the site, especially stuff like this. Very nice.

Burias-Drak'shal Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 That is one of the best painted, and one of the largest BFG fleets Ive seen.

Vaaish Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Some minor necromancy here, but I've completed what I feel is nearly the final additions to this fleet. I'd still like to do one more lance dauntless and one exorcist but that's it. The Oberon I'd planned will be finding a place as an Admech BB. In any event, here are a couple of things I've worked up the past year, two armageddons and a few of the light cruisers from armada that I helped a friend design and construct the models for: http://www.digitalequinox.com/wip/bfg/armageddon01.jpg http://www.digitalequinox.com/wip/bfg/armageddon02.jpg http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/bfg/zeusupdate.jpg http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/bfg/zfleetupdate.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/136365-bfg-well-here-goes-and-the-marine-bits-722012/page/2/#findComment-2473829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Conrad Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Bah stop doing this, now i want to get a fleet aswell as a epic army! Evil evil painters!

CosmicCreations Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 These are very nice indeed, I've always liked the look of these ships and you have just convinced me to buy some, but can I request a comparison shot? I'd like to just get an dea of size really, probably against a marine or something, really appreciate it ;) Again very nice indeed, well painted and looking fantastic.

Vaaish Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm getting ready to head out for the weekend, but I'll try to get a comparison shot up next week. In the mean time, the ships are mounted on the GW small flying bases.

CosmicCreations Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Ah ok Vaaish thanks :), I think I'll try and treat myself to a few ships this weekend, in which case I won't need the pics.

Vaaish Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yes, it's been ages since I posted. No I haven't done a whole lot either. But I CAN finally say these strike cruisers are now complete which is great news for me. They've also been the longest running paint project for me. Mainly I wanted to push things a bit in terms of blending so I resolved to use no washes or drybrushing on the models. I even decided to do engine glow which I typically avoid although I couldn't bring myself to highlight the models up to pure white. Hope you enjoy them. Now I can move back to some commission mechs and some of my own for a while. I'll be posting some better shots of one of the BC and one of the regular SC later. These are the Bombardment cannon versions that swap the LB for a S5 BC http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/bfg/SCBC01.jpg These are the regular SC. http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/bfg/SC01.jpg Group shot http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/bfg/SCGroup01.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/136365-bfg-well-here-goes-and-the-marine-bits-722012/page/2/#findComment-3106597 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavulg Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yours is one of the only examples of engine glow I've seen that actually looks like engine glow. Very impressive.

Vaaish Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks, I usually avoid the glow but the dark area formed by the side fins made it necessary to break up the space and add some interest.
