PROJECT POST. Dark eldar practice fleet complete.

Good evening all.

Well after a few lazy days, Ive just been off for some reason, I have managed to jump back on to Battlefleet Gothic and have managed to complete the Dark Eldar practice fleet as well as work more on the Tyranid practice fleet, so that is almost finished AND my retribution class battleship conversion to emperor class battleship has been finished too.
tomorrow I aim to spray all remaining chaos, imperial and the Dark Eldar fleet, ready to crack on painting them, plus I am hoping to get some beads together to do the 3D versions of the blast markers as I am REALLY getting into the game now.

So a full fleet shot, its rare to put two cruisers in but their points would be lacking otherwise and they are light and flimsy so it doesnt matter tooo much.

Second up is the new cruiser on its own, Im happy with it and I feel this looks better than the first, purely because I did a double nose (one on the underside)


Next is the Tyranids. The list will be 1 cruiser, 5 kraken and 7 escort drones, which is bigger than ANY of the other fleets, but they specialize in combat and so will take a beating on the way in plus suffer from the instinctive behavior of the Tyranids. so could go either way in a game.
So here are the kraken, nice easy builds, I still have two not in the photo, which are drying (greenstuff) which is one more than I need.

Here are the escorts, although I need to add tentacles on to these guys.

I dont have a  photo of the cruiser yet, but once I get one Ill pop one on.
But here are some upcoming ship types for them too...

Lastly, some of you will have seen this already, but here is the Emperor class battleship conversion.
Plastic aerials added to the prow and the appropriate weapons systems added.
 


Anyway, that's all for today. Expect some painting to happen over the next few days and I shall update as I do :) Good bye for now.
