thanks, but I only play rebs so painting a ISD to be intimidating is a bit counter productive ;)

Oh...then maybe a quasar?

As Armada is the first and only miniatures game I've ever played it's obvious that I've never painted mini's before. But... I've never been afraid to try new things!

Going to drop my turn counter than I made out of a d6 here. Basic paint colors, followed by random buffing by a dremel.

It’s certainly a beaut, any plans to put it on your store? I would love to get my hands on a greyscale one of those!

Just in case that's meant to be a Union Jack on the MC80H, you should consider adding the British Naval Ensign to the paint job somewhere.

God save the Fish!

Hey @E-Man720

Painting is one of the best parts about this Armada. Except for Interdictors, I don't paint my capital ships, but definitely my squadrons. Certainly no professional, but it sure is fun to field an entirely painted fleet of squadrons. Even if you end up getting tabled, your fleet probably still looks better than your opponent's. Thanks to MotF for their painting tutorials!

Just got my ships in from the latest sale at Mel's. Primed, painted, and ready to play.

Gozanti IGV-55 Surveillance Vessels

Sundered Heart CR90

The Sundered Heart is one of my all-time favorites.

I am rubbish at painting, but after seeing some of the amazing paint jobs at the Euros thought I would have a go. Just waiting for RAF Roundel transfers to finish them off.

Apologies for the mess, still sorting the Office/spare room out.

Hopefully these work.

(Basically, I want to post, but I liked the older main forum painting thread and a new topic seems a waste, I cant be the only one who feels that)

Looked even better in the flesh at the Euros.

After a lot of swearing, they should be OK now.

Do they have speakers that play Rule Britania as they fly into battle?

? Battle of Britain, Dambusters themes or the RAF march. ?

I finished my first ship, the WSF separatist dreadnought.

I like the result, as I said it is my first, with a brush, painted ship.

I will buy the Nebula sd. in the new medium material next. Any advice for the painting?

I may buy an airbrush set to paint it.

Hello everybody, I just recently got into armada and loved the idea of painting squadrons, so here's some of my first attempts.

Solo inspired falcon: 6vypLj2.jpg

Rebels inspired a-wings: VSs1Kln.jpg

b-wings: lS0YJL0.jpg

Mauler Mithel: tFEymZ7.jpg

A lot of these are really rough I know, but I love painting things at this scale.

Is that the new Brexitus ship title? Each crit does 2 damage to enemy ships but three damage to your own :D

There are loads of painting topics but I was wondering if someone can point me to a page for painting starships-mainly imperial.

Thanks ??

That kinda depends on what style you are after.

Can't go wrong with @Drasnighta , but I can't remember if he has done an Imperial ships tutorial.

Honestly, find a style you like, and pick the artist's brain. Everyone here is more than happy to help.
