Alright, I've been sitting on the new Strike Cruiser designs for a couple of months now and thanks to some housesitting for my parents I had a couple weeks to focus on painting finally! I painted a few different things but in particular interest to you guys(I hope! ;p) are a trio of my Grey Knight Strike Cruisers! Sadly one of them is one of my older Strike Cruiser designs but two of them were my new versions with different prow options! And MAGNETS!

In other good news, Shapeways recently changed their Pricing method for their Frosted Ultra Detail Material. For me at least it was a great change, I saw an average price reduction of about 22% and I can probably get that to about 25-30% once I do some tweaking to the models.
This does bring up the question that, while I'm already making tweaks is there anything else I could improve about the models? I was thinking about taking the magnetizing idea a bit further and adapting the smaller Bombardment Cannon/Lance Turret on the Strike Cruiser(and maybe the escorts too?) to accept 1/16 dia. and 1/16 tall magnets for easy swapping and pivoting maybe? I've also just realized that the BFG: Expanded ruleset gives the Strike Cruiser ANOTHER option, Launch Bays instead of Port/Starboard Weapon Batteries but at this point, the kits are getting a bit bloated maybe? I always want to just make a separate item that is just like, 3-5 sets on Launch bays and incorporate magnets for those too.....
What do you guys think?
