STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!
Well, it's arrived early. Time for quick glance before I have to go back to work
 |
| The Commodore Edition is mighty tome |
 |
| In-depth rules with a solid index and reference section follow a large background section |
 |
| The fleet-lists for the seven Core Nations include some nice background information for some of the ships, and great renders |
 |
| The diagrams are exhaustive |
I've only managed a cursory look through the book but am glad to see everything is clearly explained and referenced, along with some nice pictures! The rules for different crew types caught my eye first, and let's just say my Prussians are very, very happy at the moment.

| The box |
 |
| The box comes with a lot of stuff for it's size |
 |
| The all-important SAW movement tray |
 |
| The secret Wani base, shown here without the support struts that hold up the roof |
 |
| Honshu-class Cruisers with their drop-on options |
 |
| SAWs and Node Generator tokens |
 |
| The Kaiju-class Heavy Battleship and the Liberty-class Heavy Battleship |
 |
| Uwatsu-class Frigates and Fujin-class Corvettes |
 |
| The Wani Terror Ship and the clear resin version - great detail in both forms |
 |
| The Federated States Revere-class Corvettes and the Augusta-class Frigates |
 |
| The Boston-class Submarine - travelling stormy seas by the look of it |
 |
| The Turtles and SAWs |
 |
| The Georgetown-class Cruisers are big! |
 |
| Top down on the Cruisers |
 |
| New turrets for the FSA vessels - resin with a metal gun barrel. Should be more robust and resistant to chipping |
Casting quality is up to the usual Spartan Games standard, which is great. The box set contains a LOT of stuff, and I look forward to getting better pictures when I have started building and painting it. Unfortunately, there is one last project in the way before I can crack on with them - wish me luck in getting it finished!
Thanks for reading,
George
The new FSA models do look beautiful. I'm excited about the resin turrets which will make it much easier to magnetize, but I have to think that you won't really be able to play without them attached in some manner because the metal barrel will unbalance the turret.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, could you post some pictures with the new models next to their older counterparts so we can see the difference in detail and size on these new heavier vessels?
