Happy Friday Friends,
I was thinking about painted ships and I wanted to ask which ship in Armada is your favorite Paint job?
Happy Friday
Stock ships?
I'm a fan of the pelta and hammerhead personally.

Happy Friday!!
I think the Liberty came out really nice. The Raider is solid too.
I’m partial to the minimalism we see in the Fighters. I really think it was a bold statement on FFG’s part, contrasting light and dark and the duality of the eternal strife we see in the Star Wars Mythos.
Happy Friday.
I'm a big fan of the Hammerhead. the warm grey, black and orange really matched up well, I want ot paint the rest of my rebels to match.
Happy "Friday".
I feel like this question is unfairly weighted in favor of the Rebel Scum. I mean what is in an Imperial Paint Job? Hey bob another can of grey please! Rebel Scum try and rebel with their garrish paint jobs... Bah!
That said... Hammerhead
I actually like the paint jobs on the ships, but as for squadrons, I think those are the ones that need to get painted. I always like to see painted squadrons in a game of Armada.
Happy Friday!!!
Woohoo, long weekend with Armada games!
I always have a thing for when people add clean stripes in one color to their ships. (can't find a good picture right now)
Happy Friday!
I'd have to say the Hammerhead, although I'm looking forward to seeing the Chimera.

My personal favorite stock paint job FFG ship is one of my CR-90s. I assume it was a f*** up in production but the whole ship except for the exhaust is completely white. No red stripe, no wash, nothing but white, almost an exact match for Vallejo off white actually. I added red to the cockpit viewport and we call it the Angry Albino.

Yep! I feel the almost exact match colour wise to Pre-Washed Rebels is Vallejo Ivory, which is the one step off Off White (off white is Ivory's Highlight). That's why all of my Rebel Fighters start in Ivory with a Brown wash...

I didn't have any Vallejo Ivory to compare it to. I literally sat there with the 3 or 4 whites I do have trying to compare. I'm glad to know my color blind eyes managed to get it so close.
Pelta; best of the grays-Raider
Of the pre-painted minis, the best is probably a tie between the Hammerhead Corvette and the Imperial Raider. On a related note, the Pelta can look very good if it hasn't been absolutely covered in wash.
For models to repaint, there are two options: traditional paint brush, or airbrushing. For the standard brush, nothing beats the wide open sections of the Imperial Star Destroyer model. For airbrushing, the MC80s are both excellent and can be made to really look like the sea creatures they're supposed to represent.
