Thought I'd throw up pics of my Imperial Navy fleet, such as it is. Most of the painted stuff is Ebay rescues.
The painted part of the fleet.

The Emprah (none of the ships are named yet). Badly assembled (should have taken it apart and rebuilt it), stripped and repainted.

Hope to get some primer on it this week. No idea what color it is gong to be...

What material is it printed in? FD, FUD or FXD?

They are FUD, which is all he offers.

Also got these for filling the bays:
https://www.shapeways.com/product/78XFVQ3LU/transport-batteries-set-a?li=shop-results&optionId=20088878
There also equipped versions of these ships. They are hollow, so I cut out holes in each of the weapon bays and filled the ship with Magic Sculpt.

And a pile of Falchions ready for paint, if I only knew what color I was going to paint them. The plan is to go with Great White Fleet (between the wars US fleet) at least somewhat like the battleship is painted.

Uh oh, he's back...
At long last I got started on some Covid building/painting about a week ago.
Pics:
My primary fleet is Death Guard, so my Imperial fleet has languished a bit. Its mostly of Ebay rescues with little paint touch up here and there and an Emperor repaint. See pic 1 in this thread. Want to go a bit more unified so have been painting a bunch of:
Very WIP Gothic Sector fleet ships; Cobras, Falchions, Firestorms, Dauntlesses and two large fleet transports. A few of the Dauntlesses have been magnetized so that I can do the Endeavor variants. Fifth Dauntless from the left is fitted with launch bays (only on one side at this point).
Primed Imperial transports, Conquest Galleon and a magnetized Vanguard Panther that will become an AdMech heavy frigate of some sort.

That's a lot of ships! I do love seeing people rescue things from eBay.
-
Very curious to see how you'll paint the Panthera!
-
We approve of rescue actions. :)
-
Noice!
-
The Covid building and painting continues.
WIP pic: Six eBay rescue cruisers and orbital defense platforms plus a couple a new build magnetized cruiser, two magnetized Voss Light cruisers and a bunch of magnetized weapons modules. Paint is prime black, and dry brush with: ancient bottles of GW Ork Flesh, Snot Green and Scorpion Green.

Looking good mate! Nice to see someone else doing the good ol' Green colour scheme :D Thanks for picking up my Rogue trader cruiser as well ;)
-
Baby Ramilies is coming along well. Some seam puttying and a few more details and its ready for paint. Base models are a few pieces of Gregster's Lab Terrain from Vanguard that have been chopped and recombined. Then added some chaos lances and imperial weapons batteries.

Holy shit dude that's a thing of things! It's like a ramilies mated with that starport from the bfg rulebook. A perfect blend of both styles. Really really something! Great work...
Needs more domes... Lol
-
Thank you osj. Glad you like it. Have been enjoying your thread as well.
But, but, domes are so Romanesque or Renaissance or Baroque. ;)
"Gothic domes are uncommon due to the use of rib vaults over naves, and with church crossings usually focused instead by a tall steeple,"
The top beacon is magnetized and removable so that the piece can fit in its transport drawer, so I could put other things up there, like a dome...

-
Lols, no it was just a self depricating joke as to how I'm always sticking domes on all my bfg stuff... That in turn was inspired by the rogue trader cruiser design, that was again in turn inspired by classical Greek and also middle Eastern architecture. So yeah not truly gothic, and as your fleet is gothic sector, through and through. Gothic needs arches, spires and buttresses. And the obvious eagle hither and yon... So yeah again fantastic job.. really an inspiration for me to attempt something huge in the future...

It has arches, buttresses and a spire/tower but, I think there is room for another spire in the triangular redoubt. Oops, did I just buy an Adeptus Titanic Spire set...? Darn you and your wedding cake. Yeah it does need eagles and I have some tiny etched brass eagles but am afraid to superglue them on as the potential for messing up irreparably is very large. Am looking for some plastic eagles now.
-
The answer with the brassetch eagles is simply don't use superglue. Buy some 'tacky glue' from Hobbycraft. It's a really strong PVA formula designed for hobbyist use. You can just brush a bit on. It is water soluble so any mess can simply wipe off and dries clear. Is surprisingly strong. All the buttresses on my station were applied with a smear in the bottom of them and nothing else. After they were painted too. It takes about 45 mins to an hour to dry too, so your not against the clock so can move stuff about about, and your not then in fear of it affecting painted parts with fumes... Just food for thought...

Thanks much for that, will give it a try.

Good job!

Bloomin great effort, mate. I am tempted to do something similar using those terrain pieces! I love your addition of the tiny civilian ships on the landing pads too.

Looks like we are starting multiple imperial fleets so thread title is changed...
Here is the beginnings of my Ecclesiarchal subfleet, crewed by Order of the Valorous Heart Adeptus Sororitas. Chaos cruiser based ship is a Cardinal class heavy cruiser. The Helios ship is a battlecruiser that will use the Inquisitorial cruiser stats from BFGXR. Dorsal bombardment cannon turret is magnetized as are the side weapon modules.
First pic is the Ecclesiarchal fleet being escorted by Battlefleet Gothic assets.

Ecclesiarch fleet a thing o beauty and no mistake. The use of chaos ship adds a suggestion of antiquity to it and the scheme is real nice too... Where are the little gold d'sparils from?
Oh and good work on the Astartes. Damn fine collection. Big too! Must have cost some sourcing it all or are there prints/recasts in there..?
Lol the size of those "stormbirds" they are those eagle dropships from vanguard right? I knew I said they look like they were too big but geez. They're originally intended as TH proxies! Now I see them on a base it's pushing it even for stormbirds. But yeah you bought them so you're stuck with them... I thought the grimdarkbits thunderhawks were too big at 7-8mm but I recently found out that the FW ones were around 10mm what are these again 14-15mm? Madness... Still nice detail...
And I take it that's pre heresy da? Hence the lack of green... ;)
-
Heh, my opponents Dark Angel fleet is flying the Dark Angels green colours so this approach is interesting.
I like the additions to the Helios Cruiser. Not an obvious colour scheme to pick but certainly cool though personally I would add a deeper shade to it I think.

Statues are from Shapeways. Saw a larger version of the saint and asked the sculptor to make some smaller versions:

Dark Angels are all original ships, Been collecting them for a long time. Dark Angels are black. An artist screwed up and painted them green on one of the Epic box sets and the false Dark Angels were green forever more... :D Certainly not going to repaint my original 150+ figure and vehicle BLACK Dark Angels army just because an artist screwed up. :P to GW for that little retcon.
Yes the Stormbird are Eagles from Vanguard, and yes they are huge, but I really dislike the FW versions with the weird extra diagonal wings. Recently found these on Shapeways and will be using them for T-hawks: https://www.shapeways.com/product/CNPBKNQQ8/bfg-voidhawk-gunships-x16?optionId=40875179&li=ostatus

For the Helios cruiser color, check the group shot with the Gothic fleet ships. Flash gets a little too close on the single ship pics and washes out the color a bit. Have been developing this Ecclisiarchal red for a while. With so many "red" army colors in 40K I wanted to differentiate the Ecclisiarchy color for the rest of them. Base color is Privateer P3 Sanguine Highlight. Could start with the Sanguine Base for deeper starting shades. Might try it for the next ships.
-
Hmm, today I commented on Reddit on a ship and he also mentioned the flash.
Try taking pictures without a flash. A good bright second lamp would already be sufficient tbh.
The idea of doing a 'different' red is ofcourse really good. And maybe the non-flash picture will tell different.
But maybe not a different basecoat but a darker mixed glaze of the basecoat on the areas not seeing highlights. I think a bit more contract will help to make them more 'poppin'.
heh heh on that Dark Angels colour. Cypher will agree. ;)

Don't usually shoot without flash in that room because the daylight fluorescent lighting makes for wierd colors sometimes.
Here are a couple of shots in full afternoon sun.

sunlight seems to be a bit of a truer representation then?
yup. the da green instead-of-proper-black thing has bugged me for nigh on three decades now too... So I know how you feel... ;)
and yeah the old fw th's indeed looked odd.
These gdb's voidhaks are the th's I've used throughout my fleets. I can vouch for those, they're good models. easily on par with gw's fighters and bombers in level of detail but crisper due to being print at that scale, not cast.

The desired color is in the carmine to crimson range, a darker red with a slight hint of purple. Have picked up quite a few hobby paint colors (Vallejo, GW, Reaper, P3), but have not found one I like yet. Looking at Wikipedia: Shades of Red, carmine has has an interesting characteristic: "The color carmine is a saturated red. In its pigment form it mostly contains the red light with wavelengths longer than 600 nm, i.e. it is close to the extreme spectral red. This places it far beyond standard gamuts (both RGB and CMYK), and its given RGB value is a poor approximation only." So it looks like I will never get a good approximation when displayed on a computer monitor.
Color is always dependent on the combination of pigment color and light color. The fall afternoon sunlight is a bit warmer and redder, so the ships lose a bit on the purple side of the color. Still like the color in the group shot best.
Since I have two battlecruisers, I need some regular cruisers and perhaps some escorts to support them, so will keep playing with the colors until I get it "right". Won't paint the battleship until I get it right...
Actually have the Voidhawks somewhat painted, just had not taken any pics:

Yeah, thats the stuff! proper T-hawks! they've painted up lovely! nice one...

Great stuff throughout mate. The Sisters ship is awesome. Where on earth did you get those tiny little statues???

Thanks! Both of the cruisers are Sisters ships. Chaos hull based one is a Cardinal class heavy cruiser from BFGXR.

$18 for 8 statues is not THAT bad, especially for Shapeways stuff at their highest resolution prints. Definitely ordered these with other Shapeways pieces to spread the shipping cost around. They get spread out over 5-6 ships too, so they go a long way.
A Dominator cruiser at the same resolution is $107: https://www.shapeways.com/product/ZA9ZEGMWK/crucero-pesado-clase-dominion?optionId=70797371&li=shops
Sure can't get much in the way of BFG stuff on eBay for $18... :D

Thats actually a pretty good deal. Much better than they're coming up for me!!

Have a couple of updates...
Great White Fleet cruisers and escorts for the previously shown Emperor battleship. They might need a little more color.
(https://i.imgur.com/AcRIuzg.jpg)
Imperial, civilian and Rogue Trader (blue) transports.
(https://i.imgur.com/OwhQO5C.jpg)
Additional Ministorum/Sororitas cruisers, escorts and a few transports WIP. The ship color in the pic does not even remotely look like the color on the ships, should be much redder instead of purple. Will try sunlight pics in the morning. Evidently the bit about carmine colors being far beyond monitor color gamut range is true...
(https://i.imgur.com/94CDW1E.jpg)
-
Wow, those fleets look amazing. I love the white fleet especially!!
-
Here is a new shot of the ships in hazy natural light. Colors are MUCH closer to the actual model colors. Every Nikon I have ever owned, including this one (Coolpix P520) loves (is a bit more sensitive to) reds. It seems to lose some that red sensitivity when we we go off into the magenta/crimson/carmine range.
Dauntless is painted in the base color: Rustoleum Harvest Grape Ultra Matte spray paint (which is not so matte as the title suggests). The pink should be a little hotter in the pic. Next step is a wash of GW Druchi Violet, although a I may add some red to that wash.
(https://i.imgur.com/SUUtPSp.jpg)
And for Lord Borak, since I don't seem to have posted a Great White Fleet pic yet, a pic of all the ships together.
The white fleet is intended to be the command squadron for the rest of the fleet. Was originally going to paint the whole fleet this color, but decided on the classic Gothic green color scheme in the end.

And the white fleet is Segmentum Solar. Looks regal to the max!

Maybe the Segmentum Solar fleet is visiting the Gothic Sector... or there is a Gothic Sector Admiral who likes white ships. :)

They are actually transports. Added pics of them and the escorts to the Ministorum fleet pics post

Have neglected to add the Inquisition ships. Inquisitorial Cruiser from BFGXR and Inquisitorial Frigate or Corvette from the ASC. Smaller model is the Clarion from the Blackstone Fortress game rendered in 3D on Shapeways (search "Clarin").
These are still WIP and I have no idea where I'm going with them color wise. Any additional paint suggestions appreciated.

Great stuff all round man. At first I thought the white escorts were bare white metal lol.

Lovely stuff once again. The transports you added are really cool vessels. Like'em.
And to add to Lord Borak's remark: the white escorts miss a contrast colour.
As for the Inquisitorial Cruiser: NMM Gun Metal. Or explore that blue/aqua wash effect you have on the small vessel.

And to add to Lord Borak's remark: the white escorts miss a contrast colour.
As for the Inquisitorial Cruiser: NMM Gun Metal. Or explore that blue/aqua wash effect you have on the small vessel.
Transports left to right, front row: Lord Borak transport, Shapeways version of one of the Rogue Trader escorts and Ravenstar Studio Battlefield Galactica Quantum Field Ship.
Back row: First two are OOP Ravenstar Studio Battlefield Galactica ships, last one is, of course, an Ork Ram ship. I have a bunch of these so I use them for test paint schemes.
Yeah, the white escorts are a bit plain, Did not use as much gold on them as I did on the Ministorum ships so that may be part of it. Adding another color? Gold prows might be interesting?
Blue on the small Inquisition ship is just a blue dry brush. Might have to go with a darker blue. Going to have to do some more black ships to work out the colors better.

Mind....blown! Still disappointed to see that you haven't included any of my designs in your fleet yet. ;D ;D ;D
Keep up the good work though, your stuff is really inspiring!

LOL! That opens up big can of worms... :D
First off, I'm not exactly sure which of all the Vanguard ships are yours.
1. Just recently figured out where the extra bits fit on the Pantheras.
2. The prows are similar in design to the prows of AdMech ships so they were going to be added to my Admech Fleet, which I have not started on.
3. The Panthera is too large to be a frigate and too small to be a light cruiser and there are no provisions in BFG for ships of this size. The area between Escorts/1 and Light Cruisers/6 is a black hole that needs work. Have sent Evan (Gothmog) an ASC ship designs proposal for heavy frigate class ships from 2-5 hit points, so maybe something will happen.
4. Having a very hard time trying to keep the fins attached. Going to have to pin them.

Heya,
Just go with the Tau Emissary as baseline: it has 4 hitpoints.
Or with the proposed Hellebore idea: 2 hitpoints.

Thanks. Guess I need to start looking at some of the other races for 2-5 hit point ships. Have never even looked at Tau or Necron ships...

More pics of the white and Ministorum fleets. Some sun snuck into the game room after I set up the ships...
