Crusade EA Project: The Quasar Dreadnought -STARTS-

[Goldritter]

Has one made some test games ?
(Sorry, I would to like make test games, but at the moment I´ve not enough time to play .)

I´m realy curiouse .

And I wonder if it is better if the Ship carries the Aurora /Thunderbolt or the Firebolt ?

(I must say the Firebold has a better "feel", because it´s weapons are AP too.
So you have an entire "AP-Theme". )

 

[Frohike]

absolutely fantastic,

I still would like 4!

This is an amazing model! The stats are looking pretty good too.

and today evening you can see the prototyp painted.... :lol:
(after a long time of waiting.)

does that mean I will be able to purchase some of these fine ships from you soon?

Wasn't asking for one, it just would be nice to see one done up properly. Also, maybe the Great Mongoose in the Sky would see to doing a few up (ties up the legal stuff nicely) for we mere mortals. I've been toying with doing the earlier Shadow War.

As I understand it, B4 was one of the most requested model by fans for many years. It's a mystery why they haven't done it yet :roll: (hope the cover of the new ACTA 2e-Fleet Lists is a hint that it will see production one day)

And I agree, though I would really love one for my tabbletop, I'd settle for a pic on the site of a nicely done one. Silly me, never thought of the legal issues.

Ok Ok....i am to late....i don´t had time to finish it, yesterday.
but i think today i can show it. :wink:

 

[Frohike]

this is going to be great

I cant wait, not to rush you though!

 

[[Omicron]Urobach]

OK...the prototyp is ready and painted.

The Quasar Dreadnought in all its glory. (not woundering..one pic is made with flashlight)

hope your like it... 8)

BEWARE!!!....my favorite word:

Patience, please :lol: :lol: :lol:

during the next week, latest in 2 weeks starts the pre-order. then you can buy a few.... :wink: i post when it starts, how usually.

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

Very well done indeed. Well worth the wait.

It's not very clear from the photos, but I hope those heavy plasma cannons are actually consistent in shape and size. Nova cannons I brought from MGP often have defects, so I have to order replacements.

Some questions:
How many parts do these ships come in?
How do we pay you? (Paypal, check)?
Do you take international orders?
What's the final word on price?

We can't thank you enough for building such nice models. Keep it up.

 

[Tolwyn]

Excellent work. 8)

 

[Sean-Khan]

Quite excellent, once again I think that the model looks better than majority of EA ships. I guess you start to have pretty large EA navy already?

After checking my bank balance, I can wait a week or two!

Thanks again for the awesome miniature.

Looking to get together a fleet for january, and that looks a perfect model for a raider nova........
Superb work as ever!

 

[Nomad]

Damn, that ship looks sweet. I want at least two.

How big is she? I'm thinking that EA Crusade era already has some good Battle PL ships, but desperately needs something better than the antiquated, fragile and obsolete Hyperion at Raid.

 

[[Omicron]Urobach]

~ 4 inches (10cm) nearly the same size like the marathon.
not really big,so.

yep...the Crusade EA definitly needs some other raid choises. but i can not do something against this... i can only build non-canon ships. its time that MGP fills some of this gaps.
OK...a lot of people now say: "WHAT?!?!?...more EA ships! Why? their fleet is big enough."
but i mean it is time to replace some of the old "workhorses" like Hyperion and Nova in the Crusade EA.

 

[Tolwyn]

I fully agree.

One or two decent replacements for the Hyperion are definitly needed.
Some other skirmish choices would be good, too, as I greatly dislike the Cronos.

 

[Frohike]

absolutely, I understand the idea behind the escalating priority levels but game wise we still need some updated crusade era only choices for the Raid and below PLs, none for Raid and one each for Skirmish and Patrol is a bit low.

 

[Da Boss]

Shadows / Volrons need them more - I doubt new ships will arrive from MGP until they are fully back on track with all the new ships they have already made.

Until then we must rely on bodging ones together or superior German craftsmen

 

[No. 1 Bear]

I would love to seem some more ancients stuff. Maybe even some redon things. [See Other Thread] And A vorlon carrier or a ship that carries for vorlons.

 

[locarno24]

In all fairness, the Marathon cruiser is the updated hyperion. There isn't a next generation nova, though...

I suppose it's fair to say that there shouldn't be (CONOPS-wise) as there is a third age replacement for the nova, the omega - so the crusade replacement for the omega, the warlock, is the ship in question - but the lack of a raid level fighting ship does hurt; even the minbari can put out a decent selection of gunships at this priority (Teshlan for laser power, Tigara or Ashinta for raw multi-dice dakka).

Probably cutting some or all of the fighter complement and hull damage in favour of better armour and improved speed and active defences, as well as making the weapons slightly more directional (you notice a trend in 2nd and 3rd generation EA ships towards forward-facing guns as they get more manouvrable and their command structure becomes better. Plus it fits with the model which has smaller turrets on the rear section and sponsons and big fat forward guns)

How much are you likely to be looking at for these?
