Extra British Aeronefs and lots of lovely terrain for Imperial Skies

I already have a British Fleet, but after my last encounter with my own French fleet, I decided I needed reinforcements!

These are my latest batch, British heavy units and lots and lots of terrain.


Two Exeter class cruisers escorting an Agemmenmon class monitor


Love the gun design on the monitor, two downwards firing twin guns, genius


Deck view, the monitor also has deck guns, unlike their French counterparts


Bad day to be on patrol when you meet that face on!


They look bullish


Brigade also do some wonderful small scale scenary. They all fit on an A5 at the moment, but I am sure they will expand one day.


Village pack


Contains 20 buildings, which I based in groups to make streets or individually with larger gardens


They all have a 'street' side

 
The Arch of Maxentius


Just love it


Will have some backstory in my games, I'm sure


Three English churches, each pack comes with three naves and randomly assorted towers, which are interchangable.


Tried to scatter basing as gravestones


It slightly upset me at first that the porches were all on the 'wrong' side from the churches where I grew up, but then that's because all th churches were on the south end of those towns.


Now I want lichgates to scale!


Church, farm and a row of houses to show scale


Walled farmhouses, I added paper backing under the bases as these are single piece castings.


Top view


Useful terrain scatter too


Fort Boyard - part of French coastal defenses - popularised in the naughties by the game show.


It's quite a structure


Will be slightly less of a structure after that monitor finishes with it!


An archie tower (Ackack) and a sea fort (Sealand mehaps)


Had fun sculpting that base


Defending our shores


Or maybe this instilation?


Denge sound wall, love it


Only found the photos of the actual ground infrastructure plan after I finished basing, oh well!


Chatley Heath Semaphore tower, emergancy communications


One of a series that used to span the country


With attached house


A factory and a warehouse.


These are big castings for 2mm! Dark satanic mills?


Huge complexes


First out the dry dock, my third(!) Rawalpindi cruiser (this is a Colonial or Type II, basically a new sculpt with seperate front turret and lovely details like the sky light).


They don't have the mass of guns the french have, but they have more hull.


Badly misalligned the flag, oops!


She's a fine looking Nef

Another project that has been sitting on the shelf for an awfully long time.

Love Imperial Skies, but been too long since I've played.
Pete has built Prussians, I have British, and half a French fleet (seen here on the Pendraken Forum, from 2017, but about a month before this Blog started), but it needed extra firepower, so here we are.

A Loire Battleship, and second Charlemagne Battlecruise, a Regnault Destroyer and two Descates Destroyers. The two heavies and the Regnault is the new design, and they are a bit tasty.


Forwards view.

Screened by the small guys, the big guns advance.

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
