began playing with the idea of a mars explorer fleet bases around second line vessels in the background. the idea being that the navy wouldnt care about these vessels being taken from warzones... even if they know there no longer working for the imperial navy....

list:;

3 x Endeavour light cruisers (120x3) 360
1 x Endurance light cruiser 120
1 x Exorcist grand cruiser 230
6 x Cobras (30x6) 180
Admiral 100

total 990

any ideas or comments?

For exploration purposes, I guess it's ok although I wonder at the use of Voss-pattern shipping. Wouldn't Dauntless' be of better use?

You could also try one of these - an Ad Mech Explorator class ship, based on an SM cruiser.

I like the concept of your fleet Novaguard. The voss style will give you an unique face instead of the more generic Dauntless.

Are you gonna scratchbuild the Voss-prows and light cruisers?

@ Vanvlak, nice little additions to the strike cruiser.

Large shuttle, nice. But I expected that or a mega-blast shooter. :laugh:

Oh, the mega-blast is on the starboard side - can't be seen in this shot...

im scratch building the light cruisers, the idea is to use the voss ship rules to represent older, and redundant style ships to the current imperial fleet... il try to keep the fell of the voss prow, but my skills are no way good enough for a true atttemt...
