Hey guys. The bad news is out but don't forget the good news: there are some awesome ships around that are great and easy to proxy. Let's get a proxy list together with some sweet pictures and recommendations as to what they could be used for!
Tau
The Spartan Games Relthoza look great as Tau ships. I have some and they are quite nice. A little on the large end, but that's how Spartan Games does things.
-
I'll let you edit your top post, and only provide references. ;)
Brigade Models has decent ships for Imperial Navy, Chaos, and Tyranids.
Shapeways has heresy-era SM Strike Cruisers and various attack craft.
-
I'm also seeing a lot of potential in the Spartan Dystopian Wars range for Imperial, Chaos and perhaps even Eldar (and Orks of course because Orks can use AAANYTHING).
Not just from the fliers but also the naval ships, of course you'd have to sculpt/convert a lower portion of the hull but that wouldn't be the hardest thing.
At the very least a huge number of very nice looking prows to make use of mixed with engines from other ranges or converted from scratch.
Not too sure how the ship sizes match up though, I know the DW miniatures can be surprisingly large.
-
Ground Zero Games has some awesome ships. I have two fleets of them and they would work really well for Imperial or Tau fleets.
Federated Stats Europe - Tau
Sa'Vasku - Tyranids
UNSC - Imperial
Scandinavian Federation - Imperial/Chaos
-
Dan, when Draxtar gets up and going I'd like to see these ships in person.
-
Spartan Games do some very nice ships, they are a bit on the large side though, as afterimagedan said. Actually come to think of it size is something I've never been sure of with some of the Ground Zero Games models, it seems rather hit and miss whether they have a ruler in shot. If we're trying to assemble a comprehensive list I'd recommend some sort of size indication too. I've also put some thought into it since yesterday and I think I could have a decent stab at making modular 'not-quite Imperial' ships for casting (though I've never tried casting before, I might get in touch with Trollforged if I can get something to work).
Dragon Lord
-
I haven't taken the time yet to take various measurements of the ship classes (mainly length) so I can start making general plans for the adepticon model policy. Just from memory though I'm thinking that battleships are usually between 3.5 and 4.5 inches long depending on race and ship, cruisers are generally 2-2.5 inches long and escorts about 1 inch long right?
-
I have a post about comparison sizes on my blog between GW and GZG ships.
-
These have been floating around for a while now:
Battleships. Left to right: Full Thrust (NSL), Firestorm Armada (Sorylians), BFG (Chaos), BFG (Eldar), BFG (Tau - FW)
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h371/TwoToneWyvern/SizeComparisonBattleships.jpg)
Cruisers. Left to right: Full Thrust (NSL), Firestorm Armada (Sorylians), BFG (Imperial), BFG (Chaos), BFG (Eldar), BFG (Tau - FW)
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h371/TwoToneWyvern/SizeComparisonCruisers.jpg)
-
Spartan Games Dindrenzi make for perfect AdMech ships.
Cruisers work for cruisers [duh], frigates for light cruisers, with a bit of 40k'ifying ;) Battleship is a bit too big, but I just hacked away middle section and it works way better now.
Some Wip's on my part: - Gothic and Endurance [When I'm done with those I can make some sort of tutorial on cheaply making various weapon sections for them.]

Aquans, on the other hand, are good Eldar when you add 40k Dark Eldar Raider sails. Photos after I'll make some investments ;)
Plus, Spartan Games Britannian ships, while unexpensive, make for great supply of Imperial prows if you're willing to hack them apart. I surely will be.
-
Spartan has a ton of bits for sale also, FSA is obvious but DW has some cool looking stuff too.
Parts (http://shop.spartangames.co.uk/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1859)
Im planning on doing my Necrons using FSA Relthoza at the moment.
-
Nice, I think that would look great andrew.
-
Instead of proxying firestorm armada models
We should build an entire fleet with unique model rules for them
Using BFG rules
-
Instead of proxying firestorm armada models

Using BFG rules
Thats a great idea. did you have a 40k race in mind for that or were you thinking of adapting the FSA races to BFG rules? (which really shouldnt be too hard come to think of it).
-
Why not both? :D
-
Between the Marauders and Alliance of Kurak there are a whole host of ships to make a pirate or rogue trader fleet. The Ba'Kash from the Zenian League could be added to that too.
That's perhaps using a few too many ships for a single faction though.
-
The FA fleets come with certain classes
Dreadnought
Battleship
Carrier
2-4 cruises (Mk1, Mk2, Destroyer, and the experimental)
2 escorts
keep the classes, but apply new profiles to match them models (or the fluff)
i wouldn't use them as stand in directly for BFG fleet because going forward, those of us who want 40k ships will already have them in our current collection of BFG models
-
Well assuming new people pick up the game, more and more people won't already have GW ships hence the point of needing a proxy/conversion parts list.
At least untill we get some nice sculpters to make some non-ip specific space cathedrals and the like.
-
^this^
Gothic is a style and can't be copyright/trademark.
already following up some leads on getting battleship sized cathedrals designed but I need to focus in the Epic issue first
-
I'm really hoping that mang takes me up on my offer. I offered him that I would lease the US rights to his designs off him to sell via Dark Reign, that way, if GW wanted to sue someone, they could sue me. (I wish them luck with that)
So far he's mulling the situation over, but I really think he should strike while the iron is hot.
-
Someone suggested using Drop Zone Commander Scourge Flyers as Necrons. Damn clever of them I say.

Those corsair fighter look pretty good for escorts, theyre pretty expensive tho whicbh is saying alot coming from a GW gamer :P.
-
Some nice looking minis here: http://www.kallistra.co.uk/index.php?page=22 (http://www.kallistra.co.uk/index.php?page=22) They have a good bit of fanasty stuff too.

...I might now have to get myself an EDFS Yamato, paint it up as the Soyokaze, and field it as a counts-as Dauntless, Lt. Cmdr. Tylor at the helm. What could possibly go wrong?
-
I still want to find Robotech/Macross ships to play with :D

Honestly, I don't understand some of these companies with GW prices or more on their stuff. I don't see how they compete with the Industry standard if they don't undercut the prices.

I thought they went out of production - are they still making them then or is this old stock??
-
Thats all old stock. On his main page the person selling explains that he bought all the stock whent they quit production O_o.
-
Perhaps not direct proxies, but it features some really cool ships:
http://www.ninjamagic.com/
-
Ninja Magic has some cool stuff, theyre magnetics are pretty well known but they have some nice looking ships too with quite a few more in production. They have a lot of markers availabel too. Torpedoes, missiles, mines, and vairous other little bits that might might look cool on the game table.

Who needs an AdMech Light Cruiser?
This looks like it could work with a few symbols glued on
(http://shop.groundzerogames.net/images/uploads/ft-536.jpg)
http://shop.groundzerogames.net/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=397 (http://shop.groundzerogames.net/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=397)
-
Yeah, AdMech got it al covered. The GZG ones, the Spartan Games ones.
-
I was trawling Shapeways and did find some pretty suitable ones:
1. BFG Pre-Heresy Strike Cruiser (http://www.shapeways.com/model/426150/bfg-pre-heresy-strike-cruiser.html)
(http://images1.sw-cdn.net/model/picture/674x501_426150_153780_1338413388.jpg)
Probably the nicest, most detailed, most setting-appropriate out there. And probably mentioned before.
2. Clipper Fast Transport (http://www.shapeways.com/model/263390/clipper-class-fast-transport.html)
(http://images1.sw-cdn.net/model/picture/674x501_263390_277156_1338416260.jpg)
Has the prow design we all know and love. Though no printed samples. Also, less detail than the first one. The designer also has a couple of other designs of smaller craft with the same aesthetic.
3. Gothic Battleship (http://www.shapeways.com/model/69125/gothic-battleship.html)
(http://images1.sw-cdn.net/model/picture/674x501_69125_93985_1338413385.jpg)
This one captures the "Gothic", quite literally. Has a few other similar designs, as well as ground-based stuff too. Designer's page has a LOT of other designs. The prow, perhaps, can be acquired from some other sculptors. (There's one done by a sculptor on Resin Addict called Zeus Prows (http://www.resinaddict.com/blog/2010/02/personal-project-zeus-prows/)) Combined with the aforementioned prow, it'd be quite suitable I think:

-
http://www.veltd.net/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4&sort=20a&page=1
Some cool SG Tau options here, some of the bigger ships have different modules you can swap out too.
-
those zeus prows would be the best thing ever for me since i am building a small armageddon fleet, but i suck really bad at sculpting and scratchbuilding, hence i still have regular prows on all of my cruisers.... (which looks pretty awful in an armageddon fleet :-\ )
is there ANY way i could get a hold of these prows?
-
I think you can hit him up with an e-mail I guess. :) He already has a store in place; shouldn't be that much of an extension to put in a custom order, I think. Never know till you ask!
-
some sutiable fighter/bomber models here
http://www.shapeways.com/shops/grimdarkbits?l=36
-
Actually, in an attempt to cheap out, I'm thinking of finding some use from EM-4's Universal Spacecraft Box, contents of which are:
(http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/allships2.gif)
12 ships for only GBP 2.55! :) Perhaps get a few boxes to represent different kinds of fighters/escorts.
-
http://www.starshipmodeler.com/index.htm
-
Was just checking out the GZG store today, after seeing the earlier comparison pics posted by AndrewChristlieb, and after a game played between myself and an opponent using a GZG fleet on Sunday:
http://than-aleaiactaest.blogspot.co.nz/2013/05/battlefleet-gothic-red-versus-blue.html
I think we need to shift the GZG classes down a size to match the BFG scale, and then they work out to be the right scale... so in pic below:
GZG Superdreadnought become BFG Battleship
GZG Battleship becomes Cruiser
GZG Cruiser become BFG Light Cruiser
-
GZG IF (Islamic Federation) might make ok Necrons?
http://shop.groundzerogames.net/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=47
Was never that keen on the original Necrons - always thought they didn't put quite enough imagination into the designs or something (e.g. just leaving it as a simple crescent?). These GZG IF ships have the same crescent theme incorporated into their design though and I think painted up in the right way they would make very good proxies, maybe even slightly more pleasing in some ways. This is seven ships from the range, from escorts to Dreadnought size, though there are more in the range and can't find pics of them all.
(Edit), Last pic is one I found on the web of IF fleet and some guys lunch... ships painted in a black/silver/green theme though which is kind of what I was thinking of.
-
...EM-4's Universal Spacecraft Box, contents of which are:...

Got some, the scale is wrong for BFG I think. I.e. you can see cockpits which are means a human would be 3-4mm high. They make great aircraft proxies for Epic though!
-
Yes, I agree. I have 2 GZG fleets and both is that format. Battleships from GZG will be your cruisers. Dreadnoughts will be your battleships. Some of their escorts are too small so use the slightly larger type escorts. Cruisers from GZG make torp light cruisers.
-
Wow, those Islamic ships seems like pretty sweet Necrons!
-
I have no problem seeing those GZG Islamic Federation ships as Necrons for Adepticon 2014.
-
That are possible proxies, yes. The wings do the trick. However, I do not like the overall models to be honest.
-
With the right paint job those GZG Islamic ships might look pretty good, plus there's enough variety to cover the different classes in the BFG-R. The original Necron ships were also pretty rubbish IMO. The Shroud and Tombship in particular, like something some put together from left over bits and a minimum of effort. The Scythe was better.
-
This is another possibility for Necrons:
(http://www.spartangames.co.uk/wp/wp/wp-content/spartanimg/directorate_acid_scheme.jpg?w=630)
They'd be even better with the epic necron obelisks below, though I can't seem to find them available anywhere and scratchbuilding them looks annoying.
(http://wargamingworkshop.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/epic-necron-obelisk-2.jpg?w=630)
These might work for Necron escorts as well, conversion from 40k Necron Lychguards - a Phase Shield and the top of a staff detailed here: http://www.taccmd.tacticalwargames.net/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=23846&hilit=necron
(http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm316/brx-photo/epic40k/IMG_1922.jpg) (http://s299.photobucket.com/user/brx-photo/media/epic40k/IMG_1922.jpg.html)
Nids are obviously doable with repurposed 40k nid models. Dark Eldar from Reavers and Hellions. Orks can be scratchbuilt extensively.
Eldar are probably doable with babylon 5 minbari ships. Albeit they're also an ebay search time

-
I still like this for a possible Tomb ship but some of these are making me waver a bit :D
(http://battlemind.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/relthoza-scarab-class-heavy-cruisers1.jpg)
-
The last thing you pictures are Relthoza, and I personally think they could pass for Tau if painted correctly. I have a starter set of Relthoza and they have a Tau thing going on.
-
I bought reltholza to proxy as necrons :)
-
Really? how well does that Scarab class compare to the Tomb ship? What other ships did you get to complete the fleet also if you don't mind? :D
-
I bought the models I like
Dreadnought for tomb ships
Destroyer for scythes
R&D cruiser for shrouds
Frigates for escorts
The vertical nature of the reltholza gives it s monolithic appearance that reminds me of the monolith.
But I can see why some wants crescents as representative of necrons.
-
How do those ships match up to the standard Necron ships tho? I know most of the Dreadnaughts are a bit bigger than battleships. The R&D cruiser is pretty awesome looking and Ive been looking at that one too.
-
The relthoza models are more bulky but I've always thought the necron models were too flimsy for their points
-
that grim dark bits guy is making more stuff now, for epic and BFG
-
Grimdark bits
http://www.shapeways.com/shops/grimdarkbits
Ordnance and suitable Chaos/IN ships.
I also don't think anyone said Starblazers/Space Battleship Yamato yet (and these are cheap)

If there's any problem, moderators, obliterate the post and tell me what wasnt right, please. As one of the savants of our generation, Homer Simpson, said once: "It was my very first day (post)"

No problem Kor Boreas. Paper models is a neat way to try the game before hunting down models.

Size comparison pic of the Grim Dark Cruiser next to a SM Strike Cruiser. (I'm lag wagon and finally got around to pulling mine out of storage).
The other picture shows FUD printing detail pretty well. There's some questions people occasionally have popped up about Shapeways Materials. IMO Frosted Ultra Detail or go home.
-

Would have to agree. Frosted Ultra Detail or go home.
Got a pair of "white" ones and the texture is like a really bad primer job - very grainy all over. I tried a very heavy coat of primer, but it did not help. May try to add Imperial cruiser batteries to the sides, but I suspect that these will probably become Nurgle ships.

-
Though oddly enough, SWF with the sandpaper texture works better for things like buildings (unless the design is highly detailed) to give some texture to things. :)

Is there anyway to get Zeus prows or user made Light cruisers anymore?

was going through shapeways looking for assult boat type things
these came up

Saw thes boys from Spartan Games Firestorm Armada and i am reminded of dark eldar
-
What Firestorm Armada race is that picture?
-
Works raptor, an alliance fleet in the zenian league
Btw firestorm armada 2.0 is due by year's end
-
Ya Works Raptor are sweet looking. The new Kedorians would make great space stations/ orbital docks/ weapons platforms.

Indeed, very good as space stations and alike. Better then the gw ones on top of it.
-
Where did you find painted Kedorians? Yours?
-
Those stations look awesome!
By the way, are there any interesting Ork proxy models out there? I really dislike the 'giant goldfish' design of the official models.
-
Spartan posted them on Facebook, I think theyre in the gallery now too. Im thinking of getting some though, depends on what the final stat lines look like, I cant say much but I think its safe to say they play like nothing else in FA right now.
Not sure about any orks, most people scratch build them.
-
I'm so making a new Necron battleship... Just need to finish all this other junk first xD

The corsair cruiser and frigates look alright for orks

-
Hey all,
We should condens all ideas into a readable proxy list. (Thank you KiC ; ).
So example:
Imperial Navy proxies/alternatives:
aaa manufacturer - models
bbb manufacturer - models
Ork proxies/alternatives:
etc.
Someone willing to set this up?
-
Have a running template people can cut and paste to modify:
Humans (Imperial, Chaos, AdMech, Marines): faction line (manufacture)
Eldar (corsair, craftworld, dark): faction line (manufacture)
Orks: faction line (manufacture)
Necron: faction line (manufacture)
Tau: faction line (manufacture)
Tyranids: faction line (manufacture)
Other aliens: faction line (manufacture)
-
What about a series of links per 40k race?
-
All good ideas.
@ Fracas, perhaps also most viable options from a line? Like superdreadnought from GZG as Battlebarge specific.
And links is always good to add.
-
how about a separate thread which is locked for comments, but can hold a 'master list' of proxies, so ideas can be collected from this thread and added to the master thread?
-
http://www.freewebstore.org/abomination/index.aspx?pageid=1322674
Check out the Venusian ships.

Yep, great additions for the Machine_God fleet. They're from Chaos & Evil, member on this board. His thread(s) should be around.

Could anyone PM me the dimensions for a Necron Tombship?

Lenght 9 cm
Max width 8cm
The moon shape goes 3.5 cm inwards
The pyramid platform extends 2cm from the crescent shape
Thickness of wing about 3mm
The center 4mm added
The pyramid 11mm high

My guess is that you just contact him and ask what can he copy, that are his owm minis, is not like he has a shop or company.
Actually i may offer the same if I find a way to copy mine with a good quality. R

Malika, you and Armand have some beautiful stuff...

I'll try to have some more BFG stuff on there soon. The latest thing I've got on there are some Ork turrets.

Never seen that manufacturer before but the ships look almost identical in design approach to the ones from Ninjamagic, from the game with hostile intent:

and maybe a tanker for a explorer

These dropship are perfectly suited for largescale spaceship games (scales 1:10,000 and up). Kit includes 100 dropship models. Each model is about 6.5mm long, 4.7mm wide, and 2.9mm tall. Frosted Ultra Detail is recommended to get all the details through. These models will only be available for a limited period, until they will get cast. Bases and stems not included.

By the way, I've put my old escorts up on Shapeways for those interested in getting some ships: LINK (http://shpws.me/rRVq).

Escort craft can form the backbone of many fleets. Each craft is 37mm long, 13.5mm wide and 8.8mm tall. Comes in a squadron of 10, stems and bases not included. Note that these will only be available for a limited amount of time, after which they'll be cast.

Probably Rogue Trader fleets, or other human fleets are aren't in the Imperium's loving embrace.

Hi guys! It's been a long time!
I agree, my ships are somewhat pricy.. Unfortunately FUD printing on shapeways costs a lot...
I'm looking for ways to find a cheaper manifacturing solution, but as I can't handle the shipping directly, that would mean finding a partner to take care of it!

I'm considering ordering one of the fleet deals. Just cause. Either that or ships from Armand if he ever releases a Strike Cruiser and/or Battle Barge.

Armand's stuff is pretty awesome! You should get those. I think the Homeworld ships would need a lot of work in order to truly do them justice.
-
See, now those Strike Cruisers I could get behind. They're about on par with retail price at the end of the SG availability, and come with all the fixin's. Everybody should play more space marines! :P

The size and shape is about right for a Demiurg cruiser, maybe a bit on the small side :/.
-
Orientated wrong way around for them. Does have the look however
-
Nothing a bit of conversion work couldn't fix, right?
-
I always thought they looked better skinny side forward anyway but I don't think there would be much work to spin these around. They already have the basic ascetic and thats half the battle right there.
-
Perfect for the Citadel if nothing else. :)

Has anyone ever ordered stuff from Shapeways? Some of the links posted here have looked appealing but I've never ordered from them before and thus a little leery.

it's legit

it's legit
Yup, legit. Have placed multiple orders successfully. A couple of pieces were broken in one item (torpedoes) and they replaced the whole order.
-
Lots of ships available from Ravenstar Studios. Lots of BSG and some nice Demiurg ships. Big space stations too. Ft Courage is 9" in diameter. Bunches of civilian ships, including one lot of 30 ships (15 different types) for $65

Been looking for a good proxy for a Ramilies Star Fort since they're the most ungodly expensive model to acquire now.
Saw these from Firestorm Armada and the big one immediately jumped out to me. The only problem is I'm not quite sure how big it is compared to BFG models.
-
(http://www.spartangames.co.uk/wp/wp/wp-content/spartanimg/Kedorian-B.jpg)
Those Aquan cruisers in the background are pretty close to the same size as an Imp/ Chaos cruiser so the Kedorian BB is probably a bit bigger then a Blackstone.
-
The Ramilies class starfort is 150 mm (6 inches) wide, if this helps
-
What about these (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/295466104/event-horizon-0/)?
-
That looks very interesting. I wish them luck.

Too bad that campaign failed.

I second this question. Is there any more info available on this?
Just wanted to give you a heads up on some painted (http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=5682.msg55001#msg55001) pics of my Absolutist cruiser. That, and the tons of new stuff on Armand's shop (https://www.shapeways.com/shops/Armand)

Hmm, not really sold on them yet. I'm more interested in what Spartan is doing with Planetfall.

Yeah, inspired by the GW Orks for sure.

Or khezan (?) from Star Trek voyager

Ya they resemble the Kazon pretty strongly. Spartan does seem to take inspiration from a number of different franchises though.

Ork Kroozers popped in my head when i saw this pic aswell, some conversion pieces and the right paint job and they would fit the bill nicely.

Until now proxying irks was a problem IMO
I am glad we now have this as an option
Good on Spartan Games for having these for us ;)
-
Just be aware that Ork Onslaughts are quite a bit smaller then Veydreth Onslaught Gunships ;), its probably best not to assume that the Ork Savage Gunship is close in size to either the Veydredth Onslaught Gunship either or the Veydreth Savage Destroyer...
Ok enough fun, this will be a great source for cruisers, battle cruisers, and battleships but the Veydreth corvettes don't really do anything for me in regards to Orks.

The answer is yes, he is modelizing a second escort sized Voidrunner. He also told me cruiser sized models would come later.

Maybe available on shapeways in a near future, modeled by a BFG FR member, Stats would be provided in a forthcoming BFG FR Add-on

Those are just mindblowing...
Got a link to his other stuff?

As soon as he create his shapeways shop, I will post the link

But he doesn't post on other forums or anything? Was kinda curious if he had done any other modeling/converting work before.

Nevermind, found them already!

Hi guys,
i do confirm everything Heavygear said :)
A shop should open on Shapeways in november.
With the Defences for sure, and maybe some Legionary....
And Malika, my first try was the bridge on the motor on this WIP cruiser :

Another 3D model i will try to finalize :
http://battlefleet.forum-actif.net/t1531-pion-impact-en-volume
-
Kick ass stuff, can't wait to see what else you're gonna come up with!
Have you considered casting the stuff? Printing can get quite pricey.
-
Next project is going on well. I will try some beta-print very soon.
About casting, si far i am jsut thinking about 3D print. And like you said, price can raise quickly...it's why i am thinking i will try to push the model as far as possible in term of detail. I want the ships to worth their price.

That's a license to print money. Time to start experimenting with paints in my airbrush to come up with the correct opalescence for the covenant ;D
I'm expecting some version of FA rules for the game but porting to BFG equivalent rules wouldn't be hard (I'd prefer that as opposed to a counts-as situation)

pretty sure those dice there probably make them at best cobra sized
-
Bah. Scale/size is irrelevant...this will probably be one of the cheapest ways to get fleets for many races all at once, if you're so inclined.
-
Bah. Scale/size is irrelevant...
It is? That opens the proxy realm up for me if so.
-
Yeah. For the game only stem & base matter. The model itself has no value in the game except for visuals.
But I rather see proxies within the scale of what I already have. :)

That really only leave FSA models and Shapeways then. The reason I was curious is that I was idly considering a Necron fleet using the Cylon ships from Ravenstar.

We will be finally able to make some StarWars/BFG fight..
I am curious about the game system

Star Wars Armada is a must-buy for me :D
Looking forward to playing it this weekend at Sweden's biggest gamingconvention!

Are those the 1/2250 scale from shapeways?
-
Scrolled to the right and saw the Armada logo. Small screen, I apologize.

Armada got played. It also got a big fat seal of approval.
This will hopefully become THE game I play next to the SG's ^_^

Me too. Just need to schedule some games with people.

Halo ground game? Niiiiice. How cool would 10mm halo ground game be? I'm going to expect something closer to 28mm myself but.ine can hope :)
Those ships look fantastic. I'm going to have to up my game with my airbrush to work out that Covenant iridescent flavor.
-
It's going to be interesting to see how many unsuspecting consolegamers these Halo-games will lure into the world of tabletop and miniatures. It's a big franchise so it should be able to get lots of new people into the hobby :)

The fact that these companies can make these brand new games is proof that with marketing GW could make BFG again and make it successful.
Beautiful minis, particularly HALO imo. Was this at Salute?

I like the ships that have been revealed from the Dropfleet game so far. I can't wait to see what the other fleets look like. I'm curious what scale the ships are in though. Mainly curious if it will be similar to BFG in size.
-
Those drop ship turrets seem I practically and disproportionately large
-
Depends on the scale. I mean, the models themselves are comparable to BFG size, but the scale of the ship seems to be a lot smaller, like I'd maybe rate the battleship as being maybe Star Wars scale or less (e.g. .6-1.2km for ship length). That'd make the turrets more reasonable, especially if they were a sort of linear acceleration guns, which they appear to be. If nothing else, you can always cut them short!
-
Kinda look like Mass effect ships. Have to say I am more excited about the Halo game tbh

General question for the crowd, has anyone used Brigade Models ships before? Looking at using the Neo-Soviet spaceship fleet (http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Blog/2015/05/our-triumph-in-the-cosmos/) as an Ad Mech fleet and was curious about the quality. Here's an example pic:

I picked up a few of the AdMech-looking (“Venusianâ€) escort-sized ships from Abomination.
http://www.freewebstore.org/Abomination/Spacecraft/cat1322682_1476069.aspx
The transport and oiler are very crisply cast. They’re really, really good.
The gunships I received are a little rougher; the mold has probably been used a lot more. The front face of the prow, under the lance, appears to have lost a lot of its intended detail. Elsewhere, the detail is a little soft compared to the other two ships. Not bad – there are GW and FW ships that are worse. I’d be very happy with them if the other two ships weren’t so nice!
I think I'll use the transports as WB-armed escorts despite the lack of obvious weaponry.

A long time ago Ben designed a bunch of ships, which he released through Abomination Miniatures. Sadly enough Abomination is no longer around, but its ships line (http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/gothic-starships/) has been taken over by Vanguard Miniatures. Now he started working on a cruiser hull, but we still need feedback. So what do you guys think of this ship?

I like the current Vanguard ship line and intended to pick some up. I definitely welcome some cruiser hulls appearing. Are they perchance redoing the counts as lance armed escort too? That would be really good.
The cruiser looks promising - are those interchangeable weapon options? Definitely a good idea. The hull itself though seems a bit underwhelming. The engine and bridge area could benefit from being bulked out more - it's a cruiser after all. Perhaps a larger bridge and some fins at the ends of the wings? And perhaps a fin? This would help make the cruiser look more like a CAPITAL ship than an elongated escort.
ALSO - I would love to see more than one cruiser type, even if it's just a biggerised Venusian support ship with a few more turrets.
Hope that feedback helps - knowing me I'll probably grab some anyway ;)
-
The venusian is a perfect AdMech stand in. The bridge is perfect that way. In my opinion the prow needs some stream lining.
-
I'll pass the feedback on.

I'm such a muppet. When I suggested 'fins and perhaps a fin' I meant a ventral fin, like the old GW Imperials had. Ho hum, sorry!

Another joint effort by Vanguard Miniatures and Troublemaker Games is coming out soon:
(http://i67.tinypic.com/2bqold.jpg)
(http://i64.tinypic.com/2qi5hf6.jpg)
Handy for those who don't want to use round bases (http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/25mm-round-plastic-bases/) ordnance markers.
-
"Attack craft are represented by 20mm square markers."
Yes, i know forgeworld-ordnance comes with these bases. But thats "because forgeworld", not because you can use them in the game...
-
I'd recommend Gale Force 9 magnetic 20mm square bases for ordnance. Storage becomes easy, just put all your ordnance into a lunchbox and it wont break on you.

"Attack craft are represented by 20mm square markers."
Yes, i know forgeworld-ordnance comes with these bases. But thats "because forgeworld", not because you can use them in the game...
How official is this? I haven't been able to find that rule in the official rulebook. Source and page number please. :)
-
Attack craft are represented by 20mm square markers. When used in a wave, they must be spread and moved so they are always in contact with each other, and they cannot be stacked.
Bold mine.
Of course, if you don't use the 2010 update there is no "official" ruling on attack craft base size. If a player had old ordnance on the 1x5cm Epic bases, I'd let them use them as long as they tried their best to keep the waves as close to "circular" as possible, so that there's no a long, thin line of bombers stretching from one target to the next.

A multi part full resin cast model of the Novan Fast Cruiser.
Please note that this model has minor fit issues with the wings which is why i’m selling them cheaper than would normally be the case. Customers have requested release of this model regardless of this problem so I have done so. If you look at the gallery images of the ship you can see what the problem is and make up your own mind if you want to purchase or not, really you just need to trim/file the wings to sit better in the recesses and tidy up with green stuff if you wish.

Guys, a quick question: we've had a teeny tiny version of the new Elites Eagle gunship done for starship scale gaming but is it too small next to the fighters. Should we upscale it a bit?

Novan Elites Lynx Class Destroyers - £5.00

Lynx class Destroyers are small and fast craft that are capable of quickly delivering their deadly cargo. For its size the Lynx is heavily armed, making it a jack of all trades. Its basic armament includes two dorsal mounted twin turrets to take out incoming ordnance which can be replaced with planetary bombardment cannon as the mission dictates, and two pairs of prow torpedo tubes. Its broadsides allow for different types of weapon systems which can be changed whilst in dock due to its modular design. Most common broadside configurations are either weapon batteries or launch bays for a small compliment of fighters and assault craft.
Its diverse armament is also its main disadvantage. A lot of space normally used for supplies such as fuel, ammunition, foodstuffs, and oxygen is sacrificed for the Lynx’s many weapon systems. What this means is that the Lynx needs constant resupplying, making it incapable of long independent missions away from sources of supply. Because of this the Lynx is often deployed on short duration missions only, when not operating as part of a larger battle flotilla.
This set contains:
2 x Lynx Destroyer hulls (1 x batteries, 1 x launch bays)
2 x optional wings sets and twin turrets
2 x alternative bombardment turrets
Painted by John Fielding in Ferro Ascendancy colours.
Model length approx. 38mm

Space ship update:
FYI.
Posted up this notification on my website Panthera product entry.
THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE LAST BATCH OF METAL CAST PANTHERA BEFORE I MOVE OVER TO MOSTLY RESIN CAST SHIPS, SO PLEASE BE AWARE OF THAT. THE MOULD FOR THIS MODEL IS SHOWING SIGNS OF WEARING OUT SO THESE ARE NOT OF THE SAME QUALITY AS USUAL BUT STILL OF VIABLE USE, FORTUNATELY MOST OF THE WEAR IS IN AREAS THAT WILL BE COVERED BY THE "WINGS" OR WEAPON BROADSIDES.
So this latest batch will most likely be the last metal Panthera available, if any of you guys/gals still want metal versions then you will have to snap them up once ordering has been enabled again either tomorrow or Thursday.
Cheers John

Ok time for some good news.
The first of the Zeus class vessels has entered production, the little Destroyer squadron will be the first release of this ship class, the frigate and cruiser to follow at a later date as circumstances allow.

Update from Battlegroup Helios (https://www.facebook.com/battlegroupHelios/posts/3629537143757636):
UPDATE
All Zeus pattern ships and the spear prows have been approved for manufacture. Mould making could start in as little as two weeks with a pre-xmas release quite possible.
Panthera and Lynx, both are now being re-printed and will be put back in production as soon as possible.
Also now in the queue to follow on the heels of these are another ten vessels for various factions.
(https://i.imgur.com/8MqtB4B.jpg)

Thanks for updating.
With all Zeus pattern ships these are the Frigates and the Cruiser model? (Destroyers are already available). Or might there be a light cruiser and/or battleship as wel?
Wait Mangozac released a Zeus light cruiser with the full resin hull. And later he worked together with (forgot) to make the cruiser: Mangozac did details and parts and the hull was 3D printed (really good quality), right?
Are the vanguard zeus ships based on the originals then?
And looking forward to ten more vessels. Yikey.
-
Regarding the Zeus ships, these are all the original designs that Mangozac did, so the Destroyers, Frigates, Light Cruisers, and Cruisers. The Cruiser was a model Mangozac did in collaboration with Armand (who used to be one of the early fellows who did some cool 3D printable BFG styled ships, sadly enough he dropped out of the game).
-
Ah, thanks.

Update time!
Ships News
After much thought I decided to dispense with the funding campaign and press ahead with self funding a bunch of the ships myself.
The Panthera frigate and Lynx destroyers previously manufactured in metal have now been slightly remodelled and remastered for resin casting. These three ships are now being moved towards printing the masters and then moulding. Hope to see them re-released very early next year.
Zeus pattern vessels, the destroyer as you are probably aware has already been released. I have now received sample production castings of the cruiser, light cruiser and frigate which I have authorised to be manufactured ASAP, the casters predict a late November delivery date for the first batch of those. The Spear pattern prows will also be available around the same time.
Picture of all four ship types below.

I saw these on the FB group. They're awesome. Although I'm not sure I'll be getting the Cruisers or Escorts as I already have my Voss fleet pretty much sorted. Although it's 100% likely that I will be grabbing a pair of light cruisers :D
Are there any intentions to do larger ships? Grandcruisers and/or Battleships?
-
I know John was looking for someone to do 3D printed versions of the prows. Perhaps he could commission that same person to do bigger stuff as well. Nothing sure of course since big ships tend to be a risky investment. One thing I can say is that the design work for a Battleship for the Battlegroup Helios range is almost ready.
-
:o
Oh god....... That's the best news I've ever had.
-
:o
Oh god....... That's the best news I've ever had.
I've just seen a test print of the model...it's going to be huge!
-
How huge? We need pictures.
-
Not allowed to share any pictures of it yet. All I can say is that it's gonna be a whopper!
-
Understandable.
However, I hope it is not too big! The Helios cruisers are in size larger then the regular Imperial cruisers and as such can be easy used as either battlecruisers or even light battleships.
I fear a too large Helios Battleship will look odd next to the Emperor, Retribution, etc.
-
To be honest, I'd want some slightly larger than an Imperial Battleship as a centre piece amongst GW Battleships. Although not so large as to be unusable.
I guess we'll see in due course!! This might distract me from Titanicus though dammit.

The Zeus ships are out!!! Check the Vanguard Miniatures site. :)

So this just happened...

Interesting.

For Chaos, Marine and Necron(!) proxies.
The latter is really interesting to me!
-
With GW haven't carried out a recent purge on Thingiverse, I wonder how long Scourgescenics is gonna get away with these.
-
What about Battlefleet Galaxy?
https://battlefleetgalaxy.com/
(https://i.imgur.com/FStUgQw.jpg?1)
-
The quality seems good. The designs a bit over the top for my liking.
-
I feel that the 'hyper details' do convey that sense of scale. However, I'm worried that they're rather fragile and probably tricky to paint.
Another thing that kinda bothers me about the design are the castle towers and banners. Besides the banners not really making that much sense in space, both kinda nullify that sense of grand scale that the hyper details tried to convey.

New ships inbound!

Secondly, there was a request for a cruiser prow to match the ones from the old Troublemaker Games versions Novan escorts:
