Rune Priest Ridcully Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I asked about this about a year or so ago, but are the Zeus style cruisers still in production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 @ Malika666 - yes indeed it is, I have three of them, all being used as Grand Cruisers, one of them as a Venerable in my Space Marine fleet.  @ DinoDoc - They are slightly larger than the standard Imperial Cruiser/Battlecruiser but smaller than the Imperial Battleship  @ Rune Priest Ridcully - They can be obtained from a few different places, I will flick you a PM.  http://i.imgur.com/eiSVwGol.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/OoH7o0El.jpg  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoDoc Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Â @ DinoDoc - They are slightly larger than the standard Imperial Cruiser/Battlecruiser but smaller than the Imperial Battleship Been considering using them as a either a Mars class Battlecruiser or a Dominator class Cruiser.

Dono1979 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 They certainly would make a good model for either a Battlecruiser or Grand Cruiser, I find that the Battlecruisers can often be a little hard to differentiate from the Cruisers, espeically for newbies (like myself) simply because they are the Cruiser model, just with turret on the top. I found that the smooth prowed version of the helios just lends itself to the Grand Cruiser statline so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malika666 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just found this on Facebook: Â Hi BGH fans! From Zac's workbench we're excited to share a final sneak peak of the Helian Frigate master model prior to final priming and then moulding. If all goes to plan they will be available for order from the Battlegroup Helios website in early February. Next up we will begin work on the Assault Frigate variant.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Anyone else thinking the Helios stuff may be a good way to reperesent marines, possibly more of the heresy era, but the escorts could certainly be good as space marine escorts maybe.

malika666 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 You could use them for Crusade/Heresy era marines I think. As for post-Heresy, the escorts will do just fine. However, also keep in mind that some chapters also have old ships from the Crusade/Heresy that might be other classes than your standard Battle Barge and Strike Cruiser.

Dono1979 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 First resin cast of the Helian Frigate. More will be made which will then be used as production masters to make the production moulds from. It won't be long now until we add them to the BGH store!

Tenebris Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I will hijack the topic by asking a question.  Do you have the assembly instructions for a Desolator-class Battleship (Chaos) and the Idolator-Class Raider Squadron?  If you do, can you please contact me via PM.  Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsavant Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I was under the impression that the metal BFG releases didn't include any instructions.....  Certainly, the blister escorts did not, and now that I think about it, even the boxed plastics only had quick sketches on the sleeve. Most the ships are fairly self-explanatory, but googling pics might be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Most the ships are fairly self-explanatory, but googling pics might be your best bet. Indeed. I used the pictures in BFG's rulebook to assembly my ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsavant Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Right..... deep breath.....  The Idolators are simple, just glue a bridge (small piece) onto the flat area on the opposite side. Turrets too ?  The Desolator is easy too. The four large bits are the hull, glue/pin them solid, add one bridge from your choice of two onto that, and you've a pair of structure bits to glue onto the bridge, just under the overlap.  Add twelve turrets to the decks, and the two pointy bits to the rear of the hull, and volia !  There's some good pics here for the Desolator, and some Idolators here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebris Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for the tips. I hope I will manage to get the assembly right. It is a bit daunting, I admit, but seems doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsavant Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Actually, I've only just realised you're missing the keel piece ! (rear, underneath) Perhaps replaced with aerials from the bridge you don't use ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebris Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I see. What kind of class is this ship here:  http://shrani.si/f/X/bE/2u9xDz5g/chaos-cruiser.png  I speculate a Repulsive-Class Battlecruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsavant Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You'd be correct, and it looks complete. See, BFG is easy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
