Fight For The Celestian Empire With New Dystopian Wars Fleet
March 29, 2021 by brennon
Another new Battlefleet Set is on the way for Dystopian Wars. You can now pre-order the Ning Jing Battlefleet Set from Warcradle Studios and take to the seas as The Celestian Empire.
Ning Jing Battlefleet Set // Dystopian Wars
Here's a little of the background on this faction for Dystopian Wars...
"The Navy of the Celestian Empire is the brainchild of Empress Shinzua, who as Speaker of the fleets quickly moved to control all aspects of nautical warfare in addition to her originally more prosaic areas of responsibility. The Empire is considered a global naval power, especially after their victories at Tsushima and Myeongnyang during the Anglo-Russian Korean Expedition. All of the coastal nations of the Empire design, build and crew their own sea-going vessels, but all ultimately serve the Blazing Sun. Warships are a source of great pride within the Empire, and the expansion of their borders necessitates deploying them more visibly, something that has been welcomed by the Empire's Admiralty."
Much like with the other sets from Warcradle for Dystopian Wars, this pack comes with both resin and hard plastic miniatures.

Each of the ships has been designed to draw on iconic imagery and design from China. You'll note that very familiar roof design that features across all of the ships and the roaring dragon motif too.
The set comes with one of the big Ning Jing Class Battleships which can also be built as a Yangtze Class ship. The Battleship is then supported by two Jian Class Cruisers which can also be built to represent Dao, Mery and Wusong Class Cruisers too.
Finally, you also get four Shanghai Class Frigates which will be do screening for the fleet as it moves into position. Chemical flame cannons, rocket batteries and coordinated attacks are the name of the game when it comes to The Empire's tactics so keep that in mind when running this fleet.
Are you going to be taking to the high seas with the Ning Jing Battlefleet Set?

Nice looking set
For giggles I put Ning Jing into Google Translate. It means peaceful, excellent for a box of warships.
Well played Warcradle. Well played!
Ooh nice the oriental touch looks great.
Those are good looking ships.
See now these are kinda cool, but I preferred the bullet train look of the older rising Sun fleet, I know there was a concept art that looked really cool these.. eh
I mean roof tiles on a warship seems like not a good idea
These are the Chinese vessels which are very much in the style of the Spartan originals. I would expect the Japanese style ships to come later down the line.
I’m watching these releases with interest but haven’t seen enough of a reason to reinvest yet considering the sizeable fleets of FSA and Japanese I already have. Time will tell.
Looks great. Tempted to get into Dystopian Wars again, already have a Brittania collection from years ago. Is there any word on whether the old model ranges will be useable in the new edition?
As a matter of fact yes, they have said so multiple times.
Google aside, they’re giving you a list of what the old models can proxy from the new game, and that’s it.
ah ok, thanks, I must have missed those announcements, & my google skills obviously arent up to scratch 😀 , im gonna go try google again see what i can find
Very nice looking. I already have well north 5k EoTBS. So I am on the fence about fielding them.
