Captain Idaho Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Hail, admirals! I've just gotten into Battlefleet Gothic, despite having ships for a fleet for yonks. The warp hasn't made time translation as I'd hoped but better late than never. I'm currently painting up an Imperial fleet, set around Ultramar and the 13th Legion of the Heresy era, such that I've actually got a 3D printed version of the Macragge's Honour. She's massive and I'm currently waiting on delivery of another brass piece to hold it up, such is its size! Anyway, here's is my Apocalypse class battleship, painted Sunday and I'm super proud of it, not least of all because it was metal and a nightmare to paint! Show us your ships, fellow admirals! And any time honoured tales of grandeur are always appreciated.

Captain Idaho Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago Many thanks! Mine too, I've had this model for years and only recently got into the game. So happy to get it painted up as my first miniature for the fleet. Glad to hear of another fan of this model, got any stories of its usage you'd like to share Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386373-battlefleet-gothic-showcase/#findComment-6124999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazer Rackham Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Now just hold your oars, sailor. Does that thing have planning permission? EDIT: In other news, I have a powerful need.

Captain Idaho Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago I actually think in generates its own gravity lol. Might paint it in stages mind. Which makes me think... if it's 26km long in-universe, what was the logistical nightmare of painting it! Maybe they use coloured metal.

Trokair Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Whenever they need a repaint they stop at Dulux VII* and requisition a decade’s worth of planetary tithe. *Other paint and pigment producing Hive Worlds exits.

Maybe they use coloured metal. 'Whips, Idaho, they used massive, massive whips.' - Davian Listerian, Third Class Vending Machine Repairman, Jovian Guild. They have metal called Ultramarine, so perhaps it was actually produced in components then STC cerakoted or some-such before assembly - you couldn't apply it in a vaccum, unless it could be completely enclosed. However, those shipyards were big... 17 minutes ago, Trokair said: *Other paint and pigment producing Hive Worlds exits. Armageddon offers sandblasting, I hear.
