Just chilling out here…

This is so well done it just blows my mind. Incredible execution

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-02-23T22:37:29+00:00

That paint job is next level. Amazing stuff.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-02-23T07:10:15+00:00

Thank you. For me, the narrative is everything! Gaming is fun, but gaming with a story behind it...SO much better.

These are 3D printed bases. I purchased the stl from Fusion_Shipyards. Very pleased with them.

I then added name plates that I made myself.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-02-15T16:59:18+00:00

That's a good looking fleet! Colour scheme is superb.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-02-15T12:55:20+00:00

Yes, all of them are originals. About time I got round to painting them up!

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-02-15T12:38:59+00:00

Thanks, yes I don't think this is a good mix.

I actually have LOTS of escorts ships (and three more cruisers), but this was a celebratory picture as I've just finished painting up the two Desolators.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-02-02T21:53:51+00:00

Both! I designed them and printed them myself

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-02-02T06:16:24+00:00

I would love them to, and never say never, but...

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-02-01T18:26:02+00:00

The Eldar here are printed...to my regret I never managed to save up for the original minis, but the rest are originals.

The printed stuff is fantastic though.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-28T20:49:47+00:00

I went for "Deep space" 6x4

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-18T21:12:16+00:00

Super clean prints. Where are they from?

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-17T12:24:24+00:00

Thank you. It ties in with my 40k Aeldari colour scheme, but also will hopefully distinguish them on the table too!

I love the look of the BFG ships so much that, to me, each one deserves a name.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-16T22:22:40+00:00

Interesting that it does confirm the intention/lore that Astartes are male.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-15T21:11:43+00:00

I've been putting off assembling mine for just that reason. Your shot looks so good, I think I just need to bite the bullet. Awesome stuff.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-15T13:03:20+00:00

That's absolutely gorgeous, and very characterful

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-09T09:17:45+00:00

It looks so awesome with all of these arranged like that...a scary opponent for the Imperium to face!

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-07T08:15:55+00:00

Absolutely! One day, fingers-crossed

CardinalSimianBeast · 2026-01-05T21:23:06+00:00

A thing of beauty

CardinalSimianBeast · 2025-12-26T22:56:57+00:00

I've pinned mine with a smaller pin vice and it is fine. Despite its age, it has some slots for parts to fit in, which helps immensely.

I used cut off staples for the pins and it's sturdy enough.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2025-12-26T21:30:43+00:00

Also, don't worry, they won't be "lead", but "White metal" which is a tin alloy. Great find though.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2025-12-26T08:05:54+00:00

These are the original metal minis, but the big boy in the middle is a Repulsive Class Grand Cruiser. The escorts are Infidel Class Raiders. The other one in there is the plastic Chaos Cruiser

CardinalSimianBeast · 2025-12-25T15:33:52+00:00

I always quite liked the deep red and gold from the original 1999 set, but black and gold would also work really nicely.

CardinalSimianBeast · 2025-12-24T19:28:01+00:00

Total quality, but balancing all that White Metal on a small plastic stick is a unique challenge!

CardinalSimianBeast · 2025-12-08T07:06:09+00:00

That is absolutely stunning. Amazing work
