Me and my friends have only just started collecting BFG and we are planning on playing a campaign where we both control allied imperial forces, and fight against chaos fleets. This is the first of the imperial swords that i have done:  Given that the chaos need to be painted as well as the imperials i had to batch them so this is what they turned out like:    Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Beautiful ships. I really like that brown colour of your chaos.

Nice work - and extremely neat brushwork too - that Chaos ship has incredibly crisp details

Thanks everyone ! With the chaos ships, its just painting the entire model catachan green, raised bits / detail desert yellow, metal bits boltgun metal, barrel ends chaos black and the bridge sunburst yellow. Then brown ink the entire model. Done! At the moment, i have: Slaughter ( + 3 unassembled Cruisers ) 3 Idolators ( + 2 unpainted ) 3 Iconoclast ( + 3 unpainted ) What should i paint / get next? Me and my friend are starting our campaign starting from Imperial escort squadrons, then moving to the heavier ships after a certain amount of reknown so we need an enemy ship that will give us a challenge but not annihilate us. We fought a slaughter with 5 swords and 3 firestorms and it killed all but 1 of each before they disengaged. I am thinking maybe a carnage?

Thanks I'd like to add the names of the ships and their classes to the bases. Has anyone else done this? How could i go about doing it? |

Carnage or Hades can be quite what you are after. They have a significant broadside at 45 cm, but not as powerful as that of the slaughter at 30 cm. Still, chaos ships *are* powerful in small games.  I like your scheme! I will have to test it. Xavi |

Sadly I don't think i have the brush control to paint it on as neatly as i would like.  The colour scheme for the chaos ships was one that i originally used for some death guard. I was going for the "Just walked through a pond" look. Xani, one thing i have found with the scheme is that sometimes the metal isn't that noticable unless you look at it directly which can make it look like a big space-poo or something. Maybe more highlighting, a watered down ink or repainting afterwards to keep them bright? See what you think of them: My Photobucket |

Thanks, Tristan! I have a week off work now so am going to try and finish off the ones that i have left. Done: Slaughter Class Carnage Class 3 Idolators 3 Iconoclasts Sprayed, stuck and cleaned up: Devastation Class Acheron Class 2 Idolators 3 Iconoclasts I think the carnage looks better than the slaughter. More definition. Will have pics by end of week hopefully. |
