Kzinti and Gorn Fleet Boxes

[Nerroth]

And then we have some brand new stuff already prototyped and cast up, just waiting for a lick of paint. Federation and Klingon players are not going to want to miss any of this

Here's hoping the Fed DNL will be in the mix; I'm looking forward to seeing how that mini turns out in the metal (or resin, whichever it ends up as).

 

[MongooseMatt]

any word on what the next fleet(s) out the door may be? and what quarter?
My guess would be mid 2013 considering the lead-in for the current ones?..

Orions, and likely a lot sooner than that!

I'm jonesing for the Gettysburg class CB's.

Im.. ignorant of all the ships available in SFB since I don't play that game, but I do like the idea of light dreadnaughts, more frigate/destroyer types, and maybe some more fast cruisers/ heavy cruisers or their variants.

 

[Nerroth]

If you want to get a sense of what kind of ships are out there in other parts of the Alpha Octant, you can see several Ship Cards divided up per empire over in the FC Commander's Circle. (Such as the file for the aforementioned Fed DNL.)

Most of the Ship Cards come in both Squadron and Fleet scales; for conversion-to-ACtA:SF terms, only the Squadron Scale version is relevant.

Though I should note that even thoose lists are by no means exhaustive; there are a whole lot of other ships (and entire fleets) in the broader SFU that are also out there to (hopefully) be considered at some later point.

So, about that Kzinti fleet... :wink:

 

[archon96]

has anyone started to receive their kzinti fleet boxes yet.

 

[MongooseMatt]

There has been a tiny hold up on flying bases (the ships are all cast and ready!). However, it has been resolved now and we are just waiting to hear when we will be getting a delivery.

 

[archon96]

I dont use the bases just send me mine without.

Just got my Kzinti Fleet Box this morning. Very pleased with the contents (inc. the updated mini-rulebook).

Most of them only need a minimum of cleaning up, so I should have pics up in a couple of days (resin DN has two small plugs and a couple of bubbles on the underside, 2 of the CLs have a flash "beard". Nothing major.)

I'm probably going to paint them up similar to Adam Turner's artwork rather than the orangey colour/MGP tigerstripe schemes (might skip the chequerboard though ), which brings me to a question for the SFB brigade re. Kzinti fleet symbols; would an ACTA-sized fleet have a mix of baron/count etc markings or be all the same ? Used to "fly" Kzinti in SFB once upon a time, but too long ago for me to remember Couldn't find anything on their website.

Great news, and now we wait ever so patiently for the Gorn....

 

[tlee33]

Got my Kzinti fleet box yesterday. Very happy with the content! Now I can't wait for the Gorn.

 

[SneakyPete]

I see the Gorn Fleet box wrapper has been updated to show the new ships on the store page, is there any status update on when they will be released?

 

[McKinstry]

Has anyone in the US seen a Kzinti Fleet Box yet?

 

[MarkDawg]

Has anyone figured out why Mongoose is such fail. Get it together!!!

You have got to get some pictures to prove to the rest of us that they are real.

I better get my mind out of the gutter now. :mrgreen:

 

[Iain McGhee]

Oh, they exist. You just don't get to fondle them yet I'd imagine they're getting their pre-orders out first, so you may not see them in shops for a little longer.
