I just don't like the model for the Gunship. Bollocks to the game design, this is a minis game! It looks like I myself, Hindsight that new guy, chewed and subsequently spit out sixteen pieces of Juicy Fruit and cobbled together something as closely resembling the general White Star shape as my artless fingers could manage, and topping it off with a couple of paper clips protruding from various frontal pointing protrusions.
My White Star on the other hand (aside from being stupid big for this scale) is a beautiful and masterfully sculpted rendition of the creative efforts of the original B5 Creative Team!
Take any list, divide the points down by whatever until you have an army full of White Star ones. Your scout rating will have gone up so high you'll be able to roll dice from several weeks back and still have them negate any of that hateful Minbari stealth! Can you see me? Let me check! Hrm, I rolled a dice on a tuesday with a +42 modifer! I think I can see you now, or and every gun in my list has been twin linked by the other 42 White Stars, so I hope you didn't have plans for dinner, this could take a while!
I'm just bitter, I thought it was a White Star variant, and instead we get a variant of something that does what its supposed to do just fine. Something new to do with all these many many many white star models is just silly.
Maybe I should stop bitching about the Gunship, buy one, and wait to pass judgement until I can paint it the way I'd recon it should look like and not lather it with glitter like the original painter figured best represented hybrid vorlon technology. You know... with sparklies.
