Shadow Cloud and Vorlon Planet Killer

[Garthim]

Has anyone made any counters to represent the Shadow Cloud and the Vorlon Planet Killer in games?

Also, does anyone have a link to the original post about the unleashed ships like the Omicron variants, Darkstar, etc. that came out months ago and any counters someone has made for those?

vorlon planet killer get a plate draw round it paint it vorlonish.

Shadow cloud cut out a cloud shape then paint it black, cloudish.

Black spray paint on pulled-apart cotton balls?

Edited to add: Something like what is shown at this link, except without the red and yellow for fire.

I appreciate the modeling suggestions, but I was hoping for some printable counters if possible.

There's a picture of a model Vorlon planet killer on the Agents of Gaming site: http://www.agentsofgaming.com/ofavs.htm (scroll down to the bottom). It's just the unpainted model, but you could probably do something with the picture.

Update: I have.
Vorlon Planet Killer
At that print resolution, it should come out 4" square - an Armageddon level ship tends to be a 2" square counter and this thing is big!

For the Shadow cloud, go to NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html
Pick a nice nebula or cloud to use as a background, then use your favourite art or photo editing program to airbrush a big black splodge onto it.

On second thoughts, just use this: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap091031.html
And then be afraid. :twisted:

Thank you very much Adrian for the counters. The Vorlon Planet Killer will see battle this weekend.

Anyone had any luck finding the post from Matt about the 12 unleashed ships and any counters anyone has made for them?

I don't know of any counters, but there is a thread about building models for the Omicron and Dark Star:

Thanks again Adrian. You have been so much help to my gaming group and myself.
