HOW MANY DROPS IS THIS FOR YOU, LIEUTENANT?
After a long week of painting, the first Starter Set for the United Colonies of Mankind has been completed! All the classes have been chosen from the front of the box and an additional Lima-class Detector Frigate added (as mentioned in a previous post), but now they have all been painted and I am waiting for my Kickstarter Pledge to arrive with baited breath!
In the mean time, I am negotiating to buy some additional ships from a friend (hopefully I will get these soon) and convert up some Corvettes. These are my priority at the moment and hopefully will be finished and featured soon enough, as well as a painting guide. I also intend to get some better quality photos! Perhaps a different background will help here...
 |
| Assembled together, Battlefleet Cervantes moves to defend the United Colonies of Mankind |
 |
| Reinforcements are already en-route to join the fleet |
 |
| The Seattle-class Fleet Carrier |
 |
| Carrying several squadrons of fighters and bombers, the Seattle-class Fleet Carrier supports the battle line from the rear |
 |
| The Berlin-class Cruiser |
 |
| Armed with an infamous Burnthrough Laser, the Berlin-class Cruiser is a reliable brawler of the UCM fleet |
 |
| The Moscow-class Heavy Cruiser |
 |
| Bristling with mass driver turrets and refitted with the Killian vanes along the wings, the Moscow-class Heavy Cruiser is ready to go weapons free |
 |
| *All credit to Hawk Forum member Killionaire, whose addition of the wings to the flanks of the vessel really made it look bulkier and more impressive. I had to follow! |
 |
| A pair of Toulon-class Frigates |
 |
| Teeming with firepower, these ships are fearsome in large numbers |
 |
| Two New Orleans-class Strike Carriers |
 |
| Subtle differences between the two vessels betray their divergent histories and refits |
 |
| The Lima-class Detector Frigate |
 |
| Accompanying the Battle Group, this Detector Frigate carries an incredibly complex scanning suite that will aid the restof the fleet in discerning enemy vessels |
 |
| Frigates and Strike Carriers move together |
 |
| The heavier vessels prepare their payloads, leading the attack |
 |
| The fleet is reinforced! Thier first engagement awaits... |
Thanks for reading,
George
I love you paint scheme! What colors did you use?
ReplyDeleteI was just showing this to someone else and I noticed the raven wings. Looks amazing!
DeleteVery nice! Are those "wings" from a UCM flyer of some kind?
ReplyDeleteThey are from a UCM raven
DeleteThis is awesome!!! Would you mind giving a short tutorial?
ReplyDeleteTutorial to come in the future, but will need to take pictures as it progresses!
DeleteThat's great!
DeleteI'd like to second a request for a tutorial... or at least a quick listing of paints and a sentence or two about procedure. I used your Scourge recipe to great effect; thank you!
