After my first few Battlefleet Gothi ships, here are some very different ones. Studio Bergstrom models. Still struggling with getting the look I want but these are certainly good enough to game with! A carrier and two battleships.
Constructive criticism welcomed and encouraged. |

Like the color scheme but it needs some additional detail or color. A hull number or national symbol? Perhaps some warning stripes? |

Those look great to me; better than the pics on Drew's site. I do like Allen's suggestion on a some additional color detail, but stark is good, too! Looks menacing… |

The finish at present is perfect for space pirates or clandestine ops/mercs IMHO. A simple insignia and/or a hull number would take the model(s) to the next level as actual military vessels. The lower front of the ship however just screams for a razor-toothed shark mouth design, but then again that's just my sense of humor talking…  Leland R. Erickson

Yeah, I have some decals on order. I love the shark mouth idea but there are a lot of ships in this fleet and that's a lot of teeth yo have to paint…. |

Mark,
What rules and Universe you going to use? |

Well, I own/publish/sell "Starship" which is 2.5D – to me 2D space games are just boats in space and leave me cold. I'm just going to stat up my fleets for Starship and probably make up my own fluff…. When I want a really fast, furious and fun game I'll probably adapt "War Rocket" or something like that… |

Looking good. If pressed I might perhaps add some weathering/wear and tear. |

Those look really good, as Parzival said, they hardly look like what's up on the SB page. I'll have to get some now that I see their potential! |

@Lonkka: They have been dry brushed but I struggle with how to get the look right. The color is subtle and doesn't show in the photos very well. It's all those flat surfaces I struggle with. @Boy Wundr: Thanks. Yes, what I've seen of his models so far are very nice. |

Unless you think that your star ship enters the atmosphere or lands, you'd only ever have battle or collusion (another ship or asteroid/meteorite damage) showing. I'm not sure why one would not make them bright and colorful. Not like you'd need camouflage in space. And they are well painted. Dan |

Mark,
I like Task Force Zeta. Tons of options and then you can interface it with the ground rules at either small or large scale. |
| Extra Crispy | 22 Jul 2015 4:19 p.m. PST |
Yeah, just bought those, will give them a look. |
| charles popp | 23 Jul 2015 7:47 p.m. PST |
Be nice to do a med scale campaign with space and ground. |
