[BFG] The Survivors
« on: May 08, 2013, 06:00:28 PM »
Well, i thought its time to post some pictures of my fleets and projects to show to the community that i don't just talk and ask silly questions, but that i actually do get some serious work done  ;) 
(i'm 19 and just been into BFG for about a year now, so my painting skills are at best average, don't expect too much, except for a pretty massive fleet  ;D )


The title actually has two sides:

one is the fluff one, my BFG fleet(s) are the surviving part of a crusade fleet after a little incident during a reentry after a warp travel involving the fleets emperor battleship and a space hulk... featuring an imploding warpdrive  ;D
(i am writing an entire book about the backstory, maybe if sometime i'll get to translating it, i might post some of it on this forum... or at least the important bit :D )

the other side is that these ships are the survivors of the "SG heresy", how i call the entire thing with GW trying to silently kill SG.
survivors as in "all the fleets are at playable size and i am just missing very few things".



i start off this WIP thread with a list of all the things i have, with two information in brackets to each ship: how i got it (new (meaning from the local GW store), or from ebay) and what its current status is (done, in progress, needs work, or still new in box).

-3D ordnance markers for all factions (don't have them yet, interceptors, bombers, torpedoes are on my want list)

Nova Cannons are for these sissies who as a kid too preferred to throw stones at the others from a safe distance rather than closing in and get into a real fight ;D

the two finished mars class CB of battlefleet armageddon:



crude paintjob, since these were ebay ships with a really crappy and massively thick paintjob on them, couldn't get anything better out of these than that...  (might work over some details again tho if i find the time)  :-\ 
but looks ok from some distance.

btw, i know the picture quality is not the best, i'm a pretty crappy photographer...  but since my painting skills are not exactly the best either, it doesn't matter too much, i guess  ::)

oh heck no, if you look at them closer (in RL), they actually do look pretty bad.

i plan to completely repaint them in the ultima sheme, the "daemon slayer" CA was one of those blue-white ebay ships, and now take a look at it how it looks now  :D
