Pweh, Pweh. Laser bolts and explosions!

That's what it's all about! Nice minis.

Stryderg – Thanks! It's an oldie but goodie and is classic starship fighting.

This is awesome.

The Angry Piper – Thanks! It' an oldie but goodie.

I was actually expecting to see some Sathar ships.

Sargonarhes – Unfortunately I no longer have them and frankly, they were bad models that were hard to use. Were there any new ones made?

I would assume they, like I, thought you'd find something suitable to substitute. Eldar? Ork? Change of source?

Can't disagree with the comment, but the wormie ships did have a delicious pulp cover feel to them. I have the old Revlon fleet about here somewhere, and something about the green and purple metallic sheen took me back to my youth mid-last century.

Little known, the Buck Rogers board game had some near-Sathar ships in it, the mid-sized ones.

TheBeast – I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip.

You know how you make a mention, expecting a 'that's stupid, EVERYBODY knows that!', well I know I just did, and grateful for the appreciation.

To be clear, these were the mid-sized in the box game, but to Star Frontiers, smallest(?) Sathar, named scoutships.

Don't think they ever got to Knight Hawk status, just in a few modules of the RPG.

Doug – Thanks!
