UCM Starter Box Done

Well, I'm done with the starter box for the UCM. Nothing Fancy, but done in time for the demo's this weekend.


Some Closeups

1st Scourge Test Figure

I just finished my 1st Scourge test figure. To be honest, I'm not completely happy with it, but I'm running out of time to get them done. I have demos scheduled for this weekend and still have a lot to accomplish before I'm ready.

FSA Update: Test Figures

I painted a Frigate and 3 Tiny Fliers as test figures today. I'm not entirely sure what I want the fleet to look like but I know I don't want it to be green.

...and Yes, I did paint D-Day stripes :)

The Frigate:




Fliers:

EotBS Update: Battleshop, Carrier, Tiny Fliers

Finally done with the starter box and Carrier. (Well done enough for demo's) I may go back and detail them more later. Just in time for the demo day at Treefort Games. I'm gonna try and get them into a Battle Report.

EotBS Update: Cruisers

Got the cruisers done. Well done enough for demo games. I could put some more detail and highlighting on them, but I really want to get the whole fleet done before Saturday and I still have a lot of work to do on the Battleship and Carrier. Not to mention, I have a lot to do this week at work. I can come back later and do more detail. (although knowing me, I probably wont :))

EotBS Update: Bombers

I made good progress on my EotBS yesterday. Completed the 6 remaining frigates, got the cruisers at about 50%, carrier and battleship at 25%. Managed to get the bombers done as well. I'm not sure if I want to put insignias on them or not. There is not really a good spot for the meatball. If I do, I'm leaning towards the tail plane in the center right behind the propeller.

Tiny Flyer Tokens

I wanted to have my flyers to look like some of the WWI aircraft I have seen photo's and drawings of. I also wanted to use the color of the planes to tell the squadrons apart.

Empire of the Blazing Sun Started

In between working on my main fleet (KoB) I have decided to paint one each of the other Nation's Naval Battle Group + Carrier so I will have enough painted ships to run demo's, battle reports, tacticas, rules examples and such. Since there are no Prussians on the shelves in either of my LGS's I will start with the Kingdom of the Blazing Sun.

I did a couple of test frigates and tiny fliers. I hope to have the rest painted for the next Demo day at Treefort Games in Fayetteville, GA on Jan 8th, 2011.

Finished Carrier, Bombers

Fired up after our first game it was back to the painting table. A couple of days later I finished my Carrier and 2 Bombers.

Prologue: Intro, fleet selection, and early painting:

In early December, a couple of my co-workers introduced me to a new game from Spartan Games called Dystopian Wars. The group of us were excited by the look and feel of the game, and blown away by the models, so decided on the spot that we wanted to play.

We started deciding who was going to play what nation and I chose the Kingdom of Britannia. One Naval Battle Group and a Carrier Blister later and we were off.

A week later the Naval Battle Group was painted:
