Hi guys. Just won a couple of auctions on ebay, but I recognize only few of the ships I bought.
Could anybody help in the identification?
Where can I find the rules for them?

Thanks

Ps: as a suggestion why not posting a list of the ships with a picture of the model noe that they are oop?

Nice find!


Top picture:
left side:
top  (2 models): defence monitor from Games Workshop
middle (6 models): defence monitor for Forgeworld
low: system ships from GW iirc

right side:
top+middle 12 models: escort carriers from Forgeworld

Second picture:
from left to right (columns)
1. regular transports FW
2. seems to be armed freighters FW
3. regular transports from GW
4-7. heavy transports from FW
8-11. heavy fuel transports from FW

Rules are in the main rulebook (IN + defences section) and in Armada (appendix iirc).

And probably worth a pretty penny if you were looking to sell.

I concur that the ships in the bottom let of the top picture are system ships.

What a find!!!

Thanks Guys! I read the rules and now have a clearer view.

If I understood correctly first pict is all about defences (except the escort carrier which count as transport) and I now recognize all the models (this was the hardest pict for me).
If I recall correctly they can be used by the defending player up to 30% of the points.

Second pict is all about transports and can be only used in scenarios with transports (with additional costs, and therefore less armed ships, if special transports like these are used).

Questions:
- Aren't there any Q-Ships? could that be that the first line is FW armed freighters and second line Q-ships?
- Are there any model for fast clippers as named in FAQ 2010?
- Are there any rules for fuel tankers?

Thanks a lot

in the second pic, the second column, the freighters with the prow lance and gun batteries in the sides are indeed Q-ships.

also, holy sweet emperor, what a find! i wish i could get my hands on escort carriers, but no way to find any  :(

Lucky ebay auctions !!!!!!
And i think it's the first time i saw some official "system ships".
How do you play with them ? they look pretty small (something like 1 cm ??).
Is it one by base ?

i was thinking to model few of them for the official stat, but was not knowing than some GW was existing...
