Showcase: Dreadfleet Complete Set
Yup, finished! Time to do some group shots, right? The pretty ships and all aside, I really, really dig that water table blanket. I used mine not only for Dreadfleet, but also for Dystopian Wars and for playtesting a WW2 carrier attack aerial game. A…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Bloody Reaver
The last one to be presented traditionally is Count Noctilus’ flag ship, the Bloody Reaver. I wonder what the concept sketches for this one looked like before it ended up being a castle atop a mountain on a skull island on top of ship wrecks,…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Grimnir’s Thunder (and monsters!)
Grimnir’s Thunder, always a fan favourite. Again, a very unique design AND it comes with a unique auxiliary vessel! A Dwarven ironclad with gun turrets and airships to launch. And a little mini-me to paddle along (on the base). Another cool model. Like the skabrus…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Heldenhammer
It’s huge and red and has an unholy amount of firepower and a giant mechanical golden man with a huge hammer in the front – it’s the Heldenhammer! It’s amazing how they managed to turn this into such a comparatively clean and sombre design, isn’t…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Flaming Scimitar
Today I would like to show you the Flaming Scimitar. I probably wrote it each time I painted and posted this model before, but I really dig this one. Over the decades, GW didn’t exactly shower us in models from Araby, so the Scimitar is…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Auxiliary Cogs
Today I’ll show you a bunch of small, but important items from the Dreadfleet set – the Auxiliary Cogs. These are rather tiny indeed. The base diameter must be about penny sized. Each of them goes with one of the capital ships, and just painting…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Shadewraith
It’s a G-g-g-g-ghost Ship! The Shadewraith is always painted greenish-white to some extent because it’s the Flying Dutchman and all. With this one I tried to turn up the super- (or un- if you prefer) natural look up several nudges and went for an extra…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Skabrus & Black Kraken
Covering both of ‘the Ickies’ today – the Skaven Skabrus and the Chaos Dwarf inspired Black Kraken. I love painting the Skabrus model. Mostly because it’s such a welcome change from all the other ships in the Dreadfleet box. These miniatures being very small scale…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Swordfish
Arrr, it’s the pirate ship! With the ladycaptain! …and the cool sail designs. This time I went for a wood plank coloured deck instead of the black one. Makes the ship look more ‘proper’ whilst sacrificing a bit of tightness on the colour scheme, but…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Curse of Zandri
Proceeding with the latest Dreadfleet ships! This time it’s the Curse of Zandri, the Khemri ship. Always a joy to paint, not the least because it doesn’t have bloody sails to bother with. 😉 It’s a really cool design too, with these obsidian coloured statues…
