#dreadfleet

"Fires Of The Bloody Reaver" is an original commissioned 24x36... 2ft by 3ft painting of Count Noctilus' ship from Warhammer: Dreadfleet, sailing the elven shore and burning every village along the way. This one took 2 months and over 60 hours of work. This isn't available, but commissions are open! Dm me to get started!

Got my own Star Wars Armada models - finally!

Until now, I have been using the expertly painted miniatures of a friend of mine who has a complete set of Armada-models, which was and is nice, since we mostly play against each other (the joys of a small friend circle!).

And that was fine for me. Despite the crippling feelings of guilt when I freeloaded on his miniatures, and the apologetic me confessing to opponents on tournaments that no, these are not my models, and the latent enabling of my own laziness.

The only thing I ever bought for myself were dice and a Core Set solely for the parts (Damage deck, terrain, etc) to allow both my friend and me to participate in the same tournaments.

But recently, an acquaintance (well, I do have a few that are not ashamed to be seen in public with me, thank you very much) of mine opened a hobby store, and we talked about Armada - turns out he never played any tabletop game outside of Games Workshop products!

So I decided to give him a tour (a „Star Tour“ if you will - I‘m so sorry), and dig out my Core Set miniatures. After some deliberation, I then decided that, fuck it, I‘m gonna get my own collection. Not a complete collection; but just enough to be able to throw together a game if anyone was interested.

And I‘m gonna paint my minis!

So here, have one in-game pic and a couple of crappy in work-in-progress-pics of my attempts at being artsy again.

Decided to drybrush the white on the X-Wings up from a dark brown, which looks terrible on small-scale models; maybe it will look better once finished (and while we‘re at the maybes, maybe I‘ll find true happiness AND win the lottery?).

The Nebulon-B is coming along nicely, though that is probably due to me doing only small things to the original product, like adding washes and light drybrushing. Still plenty of opportunities to fuck it up.
