Well, it looks to me like they either need to be aliens or some kind of faction that is doing rather well economically. They look too high tech to be African or Indonesian.

Of course I have no good ideas for anything here :o)

Really fantastic ships.

Hatchet Pirates from that Buck Rodger's TV show?

Very nice looking ships. Pity there's no one to play on the South Coast

CATenWolde07 Oct 2008 10:16 a.m. PST

Will there be more ships in the same line?

"Will there be more ships in the same line?"

Yes – more are on the workbench right now! :-)

I think Messier Tuffley is too much of a savy free trader to leave these boys hanging with just two ships in the line. The over under on how many more would likely be 'a lot'…..

Jon,

very cool. I will make an effort to participate in this lil' party. While I'm fairly saturated with starship miniatures these days, I suspect I may want to "upgrade" several of my fleet in the coming year… evil grin


Any capital ships planned for this line, and in what size classes?


Thanks!

I refuse to enter this competition until these ships are available in 28mm!

;-)

wOOt! Sent in my entry!

They look kind of reptilain to me….maybe a lizard race ?

Covert Walrus07 Oct 2008 1:29 p.m. PST

Stevus – OH? And how exactly do human ships look mammalian?

Apart from the one Jim Cameron built for BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS or the bridge of 'Serenity', that is.

barmy Flutterz, I would not rule out the Africans or Indonesians myself – after all, this is a future where planets are being colonised, so that the resources of several *worlds* are available to supranational governments, to say nothing of the lack of interference from other nations on those worlds ( generally ) or the tech-sharing fostered by multinational corporations and the UN.

As long time disliker of unrealistic position of my country (Poland) in the grea tsheme of Tuffleywerse i submited short idea of Polish Comonwealth :>

I'm writing a supplement… hehehe…

Will be mailed this weekend if not before.

Ya know, it took me a while, but I realized the freebies Jon put in my last order were from this fleet. Cool!

ZeroGee208 Oct 2008 8:23 a.m. PST

"Ya know, it took me a while, but I realized the freebies Jon put in my last order were from this fleet. Cool!"

Yep, we actually cast a few of these ships up a while ago; a few folks will have got some as freebies with some of the offers we've been running, and some more of you have actually bought them off us at the last couple of shows. I've just held off making them generally available on the webstore until a) I've had the time to do some more classes for them, and b) we have a name for them!

Jon (GZG)

PS: we've already had a good few submissions for this, including some that are interesting enough to use even if they don't get assigned to this particular fleet – they may well inspire me to yet more ship designs! ;-)

It looks to be a pretty interesting competition! I've entered, but more shiny new miniatures is the important thing!

Gary Mitchell22 Oct 2008 7:58 a.m. PST

They look very 'precise' to me, so the beings inside might be droids or machines. With galactic domination machinations. How about the 'Roids'?
