[BFG] Chaos
« on: May 22, 2013, 10:08:33 AM »
I'll do a record of progress on my Chaos Fleet for BFG here.

To start, here's what's likely to be my last ever purchase from evil old Grandma Wendy (GW). A Desolator and one of each Dauntless class (these light cruisers for an Imperial fleet I'll do in a seperate thread). Very happy to get the Desolator as the prices on ebay for these have really have gone insane now.  Also very pleasantly surprised, as GW OZ told me last week that I had missed out, then one arrived yesterday. I guess it might be the last one ever shipped from GW, or close to it. 

For theme, I think I'm going to go black with detail in mix of metallics, and maybe some red or blue. I think black is generally a bad colour for BFG, except when it contrasts well with other colours. Searching the web I found these, which looks like a nice scheme I think, what do people think?

Those are nice fleets. One thing I always disliked with Traitor fleets are when they are too regimented in look and feel (unless you're playing a traitor legion itself then fair play). These fleets are put together from various sources flocking to a warlords banner. I always liked to see several different styles and schemes in my chaos fleet. Thus contrasts IMHO very well to Imperial fleets with the more regimented looks fitting. However do what you like!

PS that's not your last order, I still have that one for you getting fulfilled :)

As we Imperials say, "The Emperor [class battleship] Protects..."

Yeah  that's a good point about the uniformity, though then again a black legion fleet to match my Epic is kind of tempting... :)

And yes that's also true I'm looking forward to getting the rest of it, thanks again Jimmy! :)
