my first ever attempt at a bfg ship

be gentle k:

 

[Calamari]

Looks slot better than the usual White for space marine ships. Can't wait to blow it full of holes! Have some rep.

 

[jams]

cheers bud. your ships arrived today but there was noone in so i need to go and collect them from the depot monday

 

[Varakir]

Looks sweet! It's not as clean as your usual paintjobs, but i think that works well for the ship. The darker tone looks a lot more...gothic i suppose :wink:

 

[jams]

cheers varakir. it is darker than my 40k sallies, simply because i washed the crap out of it to give it some depth. that and i figured fluff-wise, it was probably centuries between paint-jobs on the fleet vessels, a bit of wear and tear never hurt nothing

 

[dark angel]

I like it, a nice difference from the usual colours which I tend to see. It has to be good anyway, it is BFG :wink: plus rep dude, keep up the good work.

 

[jams]

thanks man, appreciate it

Can you imagine that? A couple of blokes on a platform dangling down the side of the ship with a paint brushe each and a pot of paint.

Anyway its been a while since I've seen any BFG ships, and these look brilliant. Great job. Do you get to play the game very often?

i imagine it's like the beginning of red dwarf

tbh, i'm still waiting to play a game of BFG, just getting the fleet together at the mo. cheers for the comments though

hi, i love the strike cruiser.

ive aquired a dark angel fleet, of ebay its at a good statring point to convert it to a salamnders fleet, any tips on the convert, was thinking of a bit of snot green dry brushing and wash the hell out of it.

Into the fires of battle, unto the anvil of war!

 

[alien]

Very nice work, maybe a little dark for the salamanders.

 

[TheReverend]

I've been thinking about painting some of these up myself but haven't got round to it yet.

As for real life painting, I spent a month painting an aircraft carrier when I was in the navy and man that was laborious!!
"what colour we painting today then lads?"
"grey, same as every day..."

 

[jams]

@TOROLFSTORMAXE the way I paint my sallies bfg stuff is DA green base, snot green drybrush, goblin green drybrush, thraka green wash

 

[Hammer49]

Nice work on the cruiser. Look for so seeing more of your progress on the fleet.

 

[TOROLFSTORMAXE]

thank you for the advice

 

[godzy]

NICE!
I have two FW strike cruiser. made one salamander and one GK. just got another one last week- not sure if I'll make it GK or salamander.
