A small Cruiser Squadron to reinforce my growing Russian Dystopian Wars fleet. After a couple of weeks travelling away from the Hobby bench (for the best of reasons!) its was nice to get these finished and meet this week's deadline.

Like the rest of my fleet these are an Ebay rescue, and as a bonus they came with nicely magnetised turrets. I've painted them up in more grungy wartime colours to contrast with the rest of my Fleet. I used historical paint schemes again, this time from the Russo-Japanese war. I like to think of these ships are the offensive night patrollers - going out ahead of the main force to screen against marauding torpedo boats

| Yes, they're 'nice" I guess but... |

| The right backdrop makes quite the difference! |
3 x Cruisers at 10 points each, for a total of 30. Thank you!

Sylvain: Paul, you will have to show me how to AI my pictures, it's astonishing what you can do. But the paint job is even more amazing: with a few well applied touches of bronze, your ships seem to be brimming with power. I can foresee fun games for you. Bravo!
Those Look awesome and clever use of the background.
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam. I like it too, but also put in the AI disclaimer as some prefer otherwise. To each their own!
DeleteVery nice indeed
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave!
DeleteGreat work Paul - rest assured they are cool even without the AI stuff faffing around.
ReplyDeleteThere is something remarkable about the character of the ship designs from this setting. Neat project, and I love the eBay rescue angle.
I agree Greg - the older resin designs by Spartan Games just really do it for me. Pity they are getting hard or expensive to find now!
DeleteAn excellent rescue of these ships.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom!
DeleteVery nice, Paul!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray!
DeleteWhen I see these I want them. A true sign of a great paint job and scheme. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks indeed Bruce!
DeleteThese look great Paul, the details really pop. The backdrops are pretty cool too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve! I went with some high contrasting colours to get the pop!
DeleteGood work, love that they're a rescue.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks. Yeah, me too!
DeleteWow, what's really cool is talking to you in paint and chat while looking at these and discovering how you did such a great job- these really stand out and are so impressive
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry - yes that was fun! I hope you get time to get to your own USA ships soon
DeleteExcellent looking cruisers!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain!
DeleteSome beautiful ships, Paul. The dark grey scheme with the brass fittings looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stuart - yes the bold contrast turned out really well!
ReplyDeleteHoly ship those look great!
ReplyDelete:-) Cheers!
DeleteI love how sinister they look. Lovely work, Paul.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt - yes its a very different look in that era isnt it!
DeleteVery sinister looking. That backdrop and sea effect stuff is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThese are out of left field! LOve the overall, brooding effect. Even thinking about Dystopian Wars makes me queasy after getting stung by their Kickstarter debacle, but these are very nice.
ReplyDeletePaul I have never seen this range before but they look amazing.
