What is a better sensation then new box smell? Completing an entire box set of models, that’s what is! I feel fantastic that I’ve completed the entire Dreadfleet boxset. Read on for more jubilation and pictures.
All the ships, terrain, gaming pieces are fully painted. I skimped on the quality of the tokens and markers, but spent more time on the ships themselves. As a set it looks visually stunning, each ship is individual and needed a different approach to painting, creating a very fun painting project. If you’re a painter and want something different to paint then Dreadfleet is a great distraction. You might be able to pick it up cheap in a trade or on eBay because it’s not all that popular.

Who wouldn’t want to own a set of models like this all painted up nicely. I’m really chuffed with this collection. Now just to find someone who will teach me the rules and work through the missions with with me.

VGC Stormy Blue > GW Teclis Blue > GW Temple Guard Blue > VGC Wolf Grey then wash a few patches with Thrakka Green wash and then wash the rest with Asurmen blue wash.
What colors did you use for your water? I am doubtful to start my box until I find a color variant as nice as yours or a perfect match to the mat.
Thanks
Thanks guys for the kind words.
Stahly, I have my second copy of Space Hulk to paint. Maybe we should do a joint blog entry and paint ours at the same time. Would that be interesting to the readers? We can slip the odd terminator inbetween our current projects easily enough right?
Wow, such an awesome sight! Remembers me I still got an almost sealed copy of Space Hulk… I wonder if those models will ever see the tip of my paint brush…
A massive well done from me! The quality of these miniatures is outstanding. I'm also glad to hear that its not just me that gets the whole new box smell thing!
Good man Gareth! I'm currently just over half way through painting my set, so it's inspirational to see a set finished. The models really are a pleasure to paint, if a bit fiddley.
