Not got them yet. When they arrive I'll be asking for advice on painting green Klingons.

I only got the rulebook because I pre-ordered two fleet boxes, Fed and Klingon.

I'm working on my first Klingon ship, but being as I take care of a 3-year old, he has priority on my limited time. :D

There are both painted and unpainted photos and reviews up on other websites, you just need to look around a bit.

I'm always glad to post pictures of painted minis on ADB's page on Facebook. :) Feel free to PM me to get my email address so I can get lots of these beauties up.

Alright, I have a pic of my first Klingon miniature. I consider myself an about average painter, but I am kinda rusty. The mini could also have used some putty to fill in few casting errors and the wing joints. I now have the materials to putty future minis, so hopefully they'll look a little better.

I did not do the Klingon insignia; I'm hoping that Mongoose will do some later and I can add it.

The base coat is 5 parts Reaper Stormy Grey with 1 part Games Workshop Boltgun metal...something a little different. My vision of Klingons is that they have metallic looking hulls - why waste paint (resources) on a ship? :D

I would welcome constructive criticism as well. :)

***edit, wow, the flaws sure are evident in the picture versus eyeballing it. I fixed the front blue warp drive bleedover, and the red paint misapplied in the engineering intakes. ***

I thought about a black wash, in a few areas like the boom grooves, but haven't done it yet.

Many areas don't really need it, like the blue warp engine cooling, etc. They are already deep and provide their own shadowing.

I'm looking to paint good looking pieces for game playing, and I'm not concerned about them being masterpieces. :D But yes, there is room for improvement.

I want to thank you for posting those pics gives me an Idea of what I will be up against. I will be a Klink player as well. Were you planning on hand painting the Klink insignia?
