Firestorm Armada: Aquan and Directorate Large Class Ships

Hi all. 

Today I bring some pictures of the large class ships form the Return of the Overseers boxset I picked up last year. For the Aquans its the Oannes Class Heavy Carrier and for the Directorate its the Anarchist Class Battleship. 

First up the Oannes Class Heavy Carrier. Not an out and out battleship like the Directorate's Anarchist but no less capable in its own way. As the name suggests it is part carrier meaning it can launch little ships (can't remember what the proper name for them is). I'd assume that rather than being right at the front of the fighting its role is more supportive in nature. So on with some pictures.

Firestorm Armada: Aquan Medium Class Ships

Hi all.

Today I bring pictures of the medium class ships for my Aquan fleet for firestorm armada. These are again those out of the return of the overseers boxset that I picked up last year. 

First up the Shiva Class Gunship. There were two of these in box. I think they are quite nice looking ships like the rest of the aquan ships in the box. If I remember correctly they came in four parts. There was very little in the way of flash or mould lines to remove and they went together with no real problems. So on with the pictures of them. 

Firestorm Armada Comes to Sign of the Aquila

Hi all.

It's been a while since I managed to get anything posted but today I'm back and I'm bringing some new stuff to show. Towards the end of last year I decided I wanted to get into Spartan Games' Firestorm Armada. As some people may already know I already have some of their Dystopian Wars stuff in the form of Covenant of Antartica and Kingdom of Britannia, so I had a good idea of what the game would play like (the game mechanics and the way stuff works are indeed very alike in case anyone wondered). After some difficulty I managed to pick up the Return of the Overseers boxset that contained Aquan and Directorate fleets. I'm lucky in that my girlfriend said she was willing to give it a try (no games played at time of writing) and liked the Directorate ships and I liked the Aquans.

So for the last few months I have been painting up the contents of the box as the only condition my girlfriend placed on it was that she wouldn't play with unpainted models. I can't really argue with that as I prefer playing with painted stuff as well. I had thought of doing WIP posts as I went along but decided just to show stuff in a few posts once it was all done (so expect a couple more after this one). 

First up we'll start with the smallest ships in the two fleets. The Chimera Class Frigates for the Aquans and the Liquidator Class Frigates for the Directorate. Let's get on with some pictures.
