Bobs Battlespace
1st steps
Well with the new ships, I was able to start from scratch, and use Contrast paint which hadn’t been available when I did the earlier ships. So After a GW Wraithbone spray primer.
1) Base coat of thinned out GW Basilicum Grey, about 2/3 paint to water.
2) Very light Dry Brush of Corex White over the models
With what was a surprisingly nice finish it was merely a case of painting gun port Engies in MP Paints Chainmail, and Using Corex white to add some detail.
I used MP paints Black Ink for more detail, but have to get some actual Black Paint to finish the Bases.
Here finished ships pre addition of Penant Nos using Decals
2x Essex Destroyers, 1x Riga Frigate, 1 Bug Eye and 2 Dropships
Nice work! Is that a Clan Ghost Bear insignia I see on the sides of these?
It’s great to see some BattleSpace love! Haven’t played for probably 24 years, but we put in so many hours with this very solid ruleset. We only ever had the printed chipboard standees for our ships (which have their own special place), but seeing all these memorable ships painted by you is stirring up for me the desire to resurrect this game complete with the minis! I’ll be following along!
No its actually a White Unicorn head, the insignia of the Knights Mercian Fleet, originally it was a flottilla of warships that were escort to the Knights original Regiment the 101st Royal Hussar Reg, and indipendant Regimentt in the SLDF thought destroyed in the periphery rebellion pre the Amaris Coup .
