I have no idea what ship this is, anyone?

Cronus

Mongoose
So I ordered a Decados box fleet last week and after opening, I found out I didn't have any of my Reapers, but instead found this ship.

I have no idea what ship it is and it's not from any other faction roster.

Looks like you might have accidentally got something early. It doesn't match anything on Planet Mongoose either.

Does it have the hole at the bottom for mounting on a flying base?
 
How big is it? Is it the size of a Reaper?

It's got the Reapers fin arrangement - wonder if Mongoose have re-done the Reaper design?
 
It's a bit difficult to tell, actually. The Decados Raider looks to be plastic, and not so reflective, the new piece is too shiny to give a good idea.

Cronus - would you be so kind as to undercoat the new piece, then photograph it again? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
 
Yeah, I'll try to get them up later and I'll actually get a good picture done. I was in a hurry and the small one has a coat of primer. Which is why it looks like plastic :P
 
Its still too small to be a frigate, i think the recommendation that its a re molding is more accurate. In the Fading Suns universe the Decados, if I am incorrect please let me know, do not have an escort class ship which is smaller than a frigate and larger than a raider/ explorer. I looked through Noble Armada 1st ed and Expanded Ed and did not see any stats. I also looked through Fading Suns 2nd Ed and Forbidden Lore: Technology, still no escort class Decados ship. So the only conclusion I can come up with is remolding. Looks good though dont ya think.
 
Even though a site-admin as confirmed that they remade the Reaper. I finally took the correct time (and lens) to take a nice close-up picture.

So here you go.

Much better photo

So re-made reaper ea? I hope it comes with some boosted stats :) But it looks good. So what do we do with the old ones? Humm... Decados Scout ship!
 
I'll just be excited once I get these guys painted and hopefully try my first game in a week or so. May also take a fleet to GenCon on the off chance I meet any other players.

I really like the design of the new ships, now I wish all of my reapers were the new model!
 
Very nice model, thanks muchly Cronus - brilliant work on the photo and giving us the heads-up on the new model. I want some now, even though I've got about 9 of the plastic ones!!
 
Not a problem at all. Just happy to share the photos and happy we've figured out what it was. I was really confused when I first opened the box and saw them. Once I get these bad boys painted, I'll share some more photos to show off what they look like without the primer coat just sitting there staring you down.

I'm not the best painter, but I put my all into it!
