Imperial and Chaos Ships (BFG)

Over the past few months, whenever time allowed, I painted a few spaceships for BFG. The ships received matching bases for their respective factions. So far I have painted one Devastation Class Cruiser and three Iconoclast Class Destroyers for Chaos, and one Lunar Class Cruiser for the Imperial Navy. As a new addition to the single cruiser of the Imperial Navy, I have now painted a Dauntless Class Light Cruiser.

Several Chaos ships attack an Imperial Navy patrol.

 

I used the following colors for the Dauntless Class Light Cruiser:

• Black
• White 
• Warp Lighning (Green)
• Boltgun Metal (Silver)
• Ultramarine Blue (Blue)
• Nulen Oil (Black Ink)
• Retributor Armour (Gold)
• Magmadroth Flame (Red) 

 

Overlord Class and Imperial Navy star fleet finished (BFG)

Finished the Overloard Class Battlecruiser. That's the last ship for the 750 points Imperial Navy start fleet.

++ Gothic Sector Fleet List, Segmentum Obscurus (Imperium) [750pts] ++

• Overlord Class Battlecruiser [230pts]: (+1 Turret)
• Lunar Class Cruiser [180pts]: Torpedoes
• Dictator Class Cruiser [220pts]: Fury Fighters, Starhawk Bombers & Shark Assault Craft, Prow Torpedoes
• Escort Squadron [120pts]: Firestorm Frigate, Firestorm Frigate, Firestorm Frigate  

Next step is the counterpart to this fleet, a 750 points Chaos fleet.

Firestorm Class Frigates (BFG)

 The first ships for the two fleets are finished.

I started to make some blast markers. I printed the marker on paper, glued them to some cardboard. I also glued protective film on the front side to protect the printing.

The next ships are the Imperial Navy cruisers, which already have there base color and painted prows. Contrast paints work realy well on the ships. I used Warp Lightning for the imperial ones and Flesh Tearers Red for the chaos.

Remaining ships

New year, new models

It was pretty quiet around the tabletop hobby in the last few months of 2020. I planed to start with Man o' War, but has some problems with the proxy ships, so I'll put it off until later this year. 

40k is still in pause mode, because I still wait for the fist chaos codex release, so still "more" time for some projects beside that. I build and started priming the Orc Trukk for Gorkamorka, but I didn't get any more than that.

But I'm happy that I made some progress with BFG, for which I have got my hands on some printed remastered rules and also enough ships for the start of two fleets.

 

Imperial Navy fleet consisting of a Lunar Class Cruiser, a Dictator Class Cruiser, a Overlord Class Battlecruiser and a escort squadron with 3 Firestorm Class Frigates.

Chaos fleet consisting of a Slaughter Class Cruiser, a Devestation Class Cruiser, a Styx Class Heavy Cruiser and a escort squadron with 3 Idolator Class Raiders.

Both fleets are around 750 points, so the perfect combination for some test games. I have also primed both fleets and started so paint the imperial ships, but more from that hopeful in the not so far future.

 

More Starships (Stars and Steel)

I painted some more starships.
This time a micro fleet for the tabletop game Stars and Steel.
Four squadrons/commanders for the smalles battle size "Skirmish".

Was fun to paint them and its goes very fast, because of there size (Scale is 1/10.000, the bases are 20mm squares).

1/10.000 nano fleet

I also continued some chaos stuff for 40k especially because of the announcement of the new edition, but more photos next time.

From outer space (Starships/BFG)

Haven't build and painted much from 40k miniatures in the last time, so updates for the Chaos/Death Guard will come in some next posts.

But I have started to paint some starships.
They are all 3d printed and mainly for BFG, but I wanted to use the Full Thrust rules, because the are free and include rules for designing own ships.

Painted chaos fleet: 

Grandcruiser, heavy cruiser with fighter squadrons and strike cruiser with boarding ships.

Painted Models: 

Chaos grandcruiser, chaos heavy cruiser, Black Templars strike cruiser, chaos strike cruiser and boarding ships.

All ships with a lot unpainted ships from different fleets: 

Chaos, Imperial, Space Marines and Mechanicus.
