Recently finished some Battlefleet Gothic Armoured Transports, painted in the colours of my Imperial fleet, Battlefleet Agripinaa.
These little ships were not enjoyable to paint, being the original metal sculpts straight from the blister pack, they had some horrendous mould lines which were almost impossible to clean up, and the actual casts themselves appeared slightly out of alignment, meaning the two halves of each ship didn’t quite meet up properly. The surfaces were also super rough, which took me back to the old days of painting metal miniatures and trying to get a smooth finish!
If they hadn’t been NIB I would have been suspicious they were a recast! 😅.
They are painted now, and I’m glad to have them done 😅.
There will be some more additions to Battlefleet Agripinaa coming soon (hopefully!). Currently working on some Dauntless Class Light Cruisers and have made a start on some Firestorm Class Frigates and Cobra Class Destroyers (also old metal sculpts 🙃).
Happy Hobbying!
Dave
