My EA Crusade era fleet.

[H]

ok, I still have all my t-bolts to do, but damn, they have so much flash I really can't be bothered!
anyhoo...

and

hmm. A troll Impaler snuk into that second picture!

Love that paint job, Hiffano. They really look great. Lots of big earthy death.

But where's the mother ship? :twisted:

 

[darknight]

well cool paint job, whats the one above the marathon to the right of the hyperion?

 

[Tankdriver]

I think that is the Warlock

That is a fan designed ship the Nike, designed by An Italian chap I believe, and built by Prelude to war
http://www.studioadvent.com/nike/index.html

but in my fleet, it is a SFOS warlock, as decreed by our campaign

 

[darknight]

cool, ive seen its pics on acta site but didnt know what it was, is it b5 playable with acta cards etc?

hmm, I believe someone did do stats for it, but it would require a good rumage through the forum, alternatively, mine was origionally bought as a Marathon (then I bought two) so i use it with Warlock stats.
As with anything in B5, as long as your oponent knows what it represents, it's a damned cool ship to use.
I have another one, but it got damaged in transit, and I still havent repaired it (needs the winglets cutting off and replacing)
heck use it with the command omega stats

 

[Tankdriver]

Now all we need is someone to make a really cool looking Raider mini so we can use it as a, a, ah to hell with it.

Very nice! Great color scheme! You did an awesome job! After looking at your fleet the Marathon is starting to grow on me. I might just pick it up... thanks a lot hiff... more minis to paint.

I hated the Marathon at first, but it really grew on me, Statwise it's a bit sucky needs beter damage, or a lower threshold. colours are GW Shadow Grey, Vallejo German Field Grey, and a a very heavy dark ink wash. the enjine pods are Vallejo medium blue

 

[Phil Walling]

Looks pretty cool Hiff... look forward to seeing them instore soon

 

[pasuuli]

Nice paint job. It really makes those ships pop.

 

[Chernobyl]

I don't think any stats were completely settled on for the Nike, as a fan ship. It was extrensively kicked around, though, as said previously!

[Tolwyn]

Very nice work 8)

 

[[Omicron]Urobach]

whauuuuuu... 8) nice...looks good.
like the blue instead the standard "earth painting style"

 

[Locutus9956]

Insufficient Chronos

Seriously though very nice

Curious though, as much as I love the Nike model (really must get round to painting mine ) theres no way I'd use it as a Warlock, the warlock is simply too damn cool. I WOULD however use it in place of a command omega (that is to say field the Nike called a Nike but with cmd omega stats....)

 

[H]

ahh, but i don't own a warlock.
The ship is actually being used with the SFOS warlock stats in our campaign, so i could still call it a nike ;-)
and I'll need more chronos now they are going to become skirmish level

 

[Banichi]

Thats a very nice fleet, I like the numbers on the ships, it helps to give them a real human ship look. I spent ages looking for transfer sheets (my freehand painting is poo) that were small enough for my third age EA, to no avail. Is the narn ship on your moniter base camoflaged so it can spy on the EA ships?

 

[H]

jesus, your eyes are good.
Thats a Modified t'Loth wing, with a very tiny bridge to be a t'rakk. the other wing is painted and in a box somewhere.
the transfers are actually Flames of war german tank transfers!

 

[friendlyfire]

Ha! I use the same transfers for my EA fleet as well!
