Can't believe no-ones replied to This!

I'm assuming you've listed packs of models. You've got a varied selection of stuff escort-wise, the only thing I'd add is either another Shadow or eclipse to add some beef. You won't always get the VS on the field
Is a pity about the Auroras. Still, nothing from stopping you proxying these as auroras, but I'm guessing you were after the model over stats
It was for the model over the stats, yes. On googling for which ships were better she read one thread saying Auroras, another saying Solaris and a third saying they were both terrible so kind of gave up on picking for what would work best and just went for the ships she liked. Albeit that was also 'all of them', but particularly the Aurora. I'll just have to do regular ebay searches for it and be prepared to be mugged.
Imperial
Your more than sorted for capital ships! Not too keen on the falchion, and my Firestorms always play second fiddle to the swords. Another 3 swords and 3 cobras should do you. Assuming you want make Escorts a staple of your fleets of course, I know not everyone does.
I was pretty sure I was good there, cheers.
Chaos
Again, sorted for capital ships, Although a Repulsive would have made a good addition (not seen too many on Ebay. Double )
More escorts would be a good shout (again, if you want to go that route). Recomend Infidels and Iconolcast, Idolators are a little expensive for what they do. But that's my 2-pence.
The Repulsive is lovely, and apparently great in game as well, so it's definitely a double hit there. Still it's more likely to appear on Ebay then the Auroras!
Unfortunately infidels have gone to the dreaded 'no longer available'. I suppose I can proxy them, but they did look better to me than the idolator's with their giant skull on the front. I'll put infidels down onto my 'search ebay weekly from now on' habit I'm apparently going to have to develop.
I take it your new to BFG (picke afine time to start !;D). It sad to see new players get shafted like this, so I'm willing to donate the following-
2 cobras
2 Infidels
1 idolator
All unpainted and unassembled. Not much, but yours if you wish. Let me know if you do
That's incredibly generous of you to offer those ships, particularly given their upcoming rarity. I'd certainly appreciate it, if only for saving me thinking about the amount i've spent today.
I/we are new to BFG yes. I somehow never picked it up, despite having an original (albeit mostly falling apart) RT book. I picked up some ships to use in my tabletop Rogue Trader RPG and then decided to get into BFG after reading this site and blogs/batreps such as afterimagedan.
I'd been picking up the odd bargain here and there on Ebay, stupidly putting off the 'throw money at it' that I should have done a month or more ago. I've definitely been kicking kicking myself for not getting the ships sooner.
Next step (other than the ebay searching) is finding another mini maker to get ordnance/attack craft from. I've found a great resin line of Nids in France, so that'll be the next fleet once the wallet stops sobbing. And the space gaming mat, and asteroids and...
