Martian Models // 3D Printable Fleet

Teddy has been working on these for a while and they have been available through Hardware Studios but now with the launch on MyMiniFactory for the STLs and Only Games for physical prints the ships will hopefully find a larger audience for these superb sci-fi miniatures.

Hellas Shipyards Force Projection Pack

This pack includes the Kodiak Class Battleship, Corsair Class Cruiser, Polaris Class Carrier and Bering Class Destroyer. The Battleship weighs in at a length of 121mm making it a true behemoth on the tabletop and even the Bering Class destroyer is 77mm long. These models are perfect for filling out larger capital ships in a fleet.

Hellas Shipyards Escort and Patrol Pack

This pack includes the Danmark Class Frigate, Mirrin Class Monitor, Severin Class Corvette and Bronco Class Gunship. Serving a wide range of missions such as escorting high value convoys, protecting capital ships and system defence, these mid-range ships are the workhorses of the fleet.

Hellas Shipyards Strike Craft Pack

This pack contains the FA-9 Spark Fighter, BT-11 Firebrand Bomber and the RM-3 Ember Recon Craft. In A Billion Suns small craft play an important role from reconnaissance to aerospace dominance due to their speed, agility and numbers. Fighters for engaging with combatant fighters and small craft, Bombers for torpedo strikes against capital ships and Recon craft for speed, observation and light attack duties. this set comes with a choice of stands as well so your strike crafts can be mounted on a tall spoked flight stand or the low-based set above.

Hellas Shipyard Utility Ship Pack

This pack includes the Antelope Class Light Utility and Medium Utility Ships along with six payload modules: Standard, Cargo, Mine Layer, Mirage Field, Repair Drone and Shield Jammer allowing you to put together a ton of variations of ships to give the feel of civilian utility ships called in to assist in particular missions. A mainstay of civilian and military fleets, the Light and Medium Utility Ships perform a broad range of missions due to their flexibility, and these ships are the mainstay of every fleet as the only way you'll complete the mission and pull in the valuable credits.

All of the ship pack includes exclusive Martian Models Magnetic Interlock posts which allow for quick mounting and removal of miniatures from the flight stand so that ships can be easily removed for storage or swapped between bases with different firing arcs.

While the ships can be used as Fleet scale miniatures for starship combat games like A Billion Suns, Warfleet: FTL or Full Thrust. The bases have been designed with ABS gameplay in mind and include raised indicators for 180° and forward 45° firing arcs which can be painted to show the appropriate arc for specific units.

These ships have a fantastic look they're sleek, and industrial, with a hard sci-fi feel that grounds them in a possible future and the variety of ships coupled with the generic style will help them slip into any fleet for a myriad of games. I'm particularly enamoured with the utility ships and the versatility of the modular system so if you need specific ships for other games or objectives then you can do a lot with them.

Will you be picking these up to protect your Homeworld?
