Showcase: Dreadfleet – The Shadewraith

As a complete counter-point to the clean and neat high elven ship, we proceed to the Shadewraith. I have a bit of a connection to this one because it’s the ship I got to command in our review game (no, I haven’t played since then...

Showcase: Dreadfleet – The Sea Drake

The High Elven Sea Drake is another visual highlight to me. Bright, elegant, different to human ships and with a very Fantasy twist in the shape of a dragon. In true High Elven form, there are no cannons on the ship but instead it’s all...

Showcase: Dreadfleet – The Heldenhammer

Next we got the flagship of the “good” side, the Heldenhammer with it’s shipwrecking automaton in the front. Lovely model and pretty much encapsulating what I enjoy about the Empire (or Warhammer as a whole). Pretty much grounded in familiar real-life concepts from history but...

Showcase: Dreadfleet – Grimnir’s Thunder

Today’s capital ship is the steam-powered, airship launching dreadnought – Grimnir’s Thunder! I won’t pretend that I’m particularly fond of the new design concept that Dwarfs built EVERYTHING from metal or stone but in the context of Dreadfleet, this one fits in rather nicely (by...
Showcase

Showcase: Dreadfleet – The Flaming Scimitar

Staying in the lands far off the Old World, today we got the Flaming Scimitar. Surely one of the most colourful ships from the box and investing extra time into it does pay off. One of the things which impress me the most about Dreadfleet...

Showcase: Dreadfleet – The Bloody Reaver

Today, it’s all about Count Noctilus’ flagship itself – the Bloody Reaver! The small byship (is there a word like that?) is painted in colours to go with the big ship as always. The freehand on the sail is a bit different to how I’ve...
Showcase

Showcase: Dreadfleet – The Black Kraken

Let’s kick off the series on the finished ships of Dreadfleet with one of the most notorious of the set – the Black Kraken! Such a great model. I’m always impressed how much movement and depth they got into the tentacles of a three part...

WIP: Dreadfleet, the Second – Part 3

Arrrr mateys, the Heldenhammer takes so much longer than I had anticipated, it’s just insane. So instead of finished pictures, as I had hoped, I present you with a picture of the big capital ships of both fleets going toe to toe. The Heldenhammer (Big...

WIP: Dreadfleet, the Second – Part 2

Here we go with part two of this wild collection of WIP shots of the new Dreadfleet project I’m currently working on. First, the Bloody Reaver! This time I had much more fun painting the thing than I did last time. Not sure why really....
