The light gunboat market was left open more over with too many unpromising designs.  Those who need a light weight package can look towards this support role.  The high Defensive Value ought to give it some life.  Dedicated to a support role the glaring weakness is it has no rear firing weapons.  The designers say it is to keep the pilots on their toes and not to get into fights of attrition but to use its speed to get out of harm’s way.

Sniper II

Remove the Meld Lasers and replace with Disintegrators.

143 pts.

This is quite a dangerous option.  It requires the Sniper II to get in fairly close, in range of torpedoes and missiles.  It doesn't do attrition well but it is fairly good against the Brood.

Sniper III

A similar refit but with EMP Beams. A refit deal done with the Sunrunners. The extra range and punch gives it a bit of an edge over Sniper II.

12 – Reactor goes Whump! That’s a bright flash

The Sentry was looking a bit tired.  Some liked the concept.  However, making it a freighter support vessel had a price tag.  The Guardian boasts some durability.  For a big bird the Guardian is fairly pokey.  It can take some punishment but the trick is to keep it at arms length and let the 3 Twin Meld Lasers do the job.  Disintegrators were tested as an alternative weapon load but the Guardian lost its synergy.

Oh, how I the moderator love my *Purge Spammer* button! At a stroke I can wipe out a spammer's entire account and everything they've posted, like hitting a gaggle of Mk. 10 torpedoes with a Sigurd Gauss weapon at optimal range. Mwahahahaaaa!!!

Here's the first of a slew of pictures to come.
Three of the Brood.

I was going for an alien "bio-mech" look. 
I think I did pretty well bringing out the mechanical/circuitry of the "veins" in copper...and the underlay of blue/purple.

This is just the camera on my phone...so the light/shadow and colours don't really read right...but it's good enough to give an idea! 

Cheers!

It was supposed to have been a low maintenance project but the somewhere it spiralled a bit.

2 – Ktank, good investment
3 – Drive Splutter, 3 move pts only next turn
4 – Electronic Warfare damaged, cannot jam torps and reduce DV by 2
5 – What was that! Lose 1d6 more damage pts
6 – Shields Damaged, -1 DV
7 – Targeter hit, -2 to hit (both cannon fire and missile locks)
8 – Drive Splutter, moves forward only by D8
9 – One random weapon cannot fire until turn after next
10 – Manoeuvre thrusters damaged no tight turns, turns cost 1 extra
11 – Pilot dazed – no movement next turn DV5 Quack
12 – Ka-Boom blasted apart!

Yes back on the old site, some time ago, we play tested the idea of to hit buffs for the Brood.

If I can remember I think we based it on criticals.

For each critical a ship had it could give another ship +1 to hit equal in range to the #criticals and likewise receive that many bonuses from any other ship.

This forces the gammas to 'swarm' to be more effective.  Allowing them to collectively receive bonuses to hit.

Betas could swarm with Alphas to buff their to hit rolls up by lots.  And that means the Monarch gunboat becomes a really important support vessel!

This creates swarms with bonuses and means the terrans must try and split them up.  In our play test it worked really well.

A beefed up Thunderbird but at a price!

I am in the process of making a custom made card board box to fill with some custom cut out foam and store all miniatures in. But the card board box needs to look presentable. I intend to put the images of the ships and the ships names on the box, and would like to use the same font as the font that is used on the ship sheets - i.e. the capital letters where the horizontal bar in the letter 'A' is a downwards pointing triangle.
Do anyone know of a font that resembles this?
Apart from the 'star wars' font, which is a bit different, and a last resort.
Any suggestions to other fonts is also greatly appreciated, as I have some other ship sheets I would like to try and make look pretty.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Pilots love it, it can take a MK10 on the chin and they can still limp home. Not favoured by procurement due to a relatively high price tag.

So - the minatures that are for sale here through the website.
Are those prices for single ships with a stand? Do they come painted as shown, or are they blanks? 

Also are they the pewter miniatures or the plastic IM ones? (I actually don't have a preference for either or...they are all awesome!)

Thanks for letting me know!
