A Return to Firestorm Armada!

Finally, after years of not playing Firestorm Armada, I found someone else here in my new home in England that plays what is definitely my favorite science fiction wargame. I of course went out and ordered a couple of patrol fleets (Dindrenzi and Hawker Industries) and even bought some mostly Gen I but a couple Gen II Terrans from the aforementioned friend. Then we put on a demo game for the club, and now two other people are definitely buying fleets!

I’m just really thrilled, because it’s one of the most fun wargames I’ve ever come across, and when my friends that played it with me in Texas moved away, I was gutted. I’ll take more pictures next time (We’re playing again on Sunday), but for the initial game we were only using a squadron of Cruisers and squadron of Frigates per player, to cement the rule fundamentals 

The Hawker Industries ships here need a little work, it’s those stupid solar panels on the side. They’re a pain to deal with, I just need to dry brush them more patiently, and perhaps with a lighter color. 

Our game on Sunday will see a full Dindrenzi patrol fleet clash against their Hawker and/or Terran adversaries. I’ll also set it up to take pictures of all my ships on the nice starry backgrounds we’ve got. Sadly, they’re only 3x3, we’re petitioning the club to buy some full sized star mats.

Finally settled on a paint scheme for my Dindrenzi. There’s still some detailing to do, and someday I’m going to teach myself how to paint engine-glow, but this is the basic scheme all worked out. Not too fancy, but it does the job. It was important to me that the ships look worn, lived-in and used, instead of all perfectly clean. I wanted them to look like something from Star Wars or Aliens, rather than Star Trek.

New addition to my Firestorm Armada collection: Two Trident-Class destroyers of the Dindrenzi Federation.

Colour scheme inspired by some artworks of UNSC cruisers. Simple but effective, I think.
