“…Is a Rapid Strike Vessel utilised by the fleets of most Space Marine Chapters.” |
Fortunately though, there are more than enough miniatures to field two rather sizeable Adeptus Astartes fleets, so I have chosen to paint the first half of them as belonging to the Dark Angels Chapter. This particular (not) Space Marine Nova-Class Frigate is 40mm in length and was therefore re-primed using “Vallejo” Dark Green and washed with “Citadel” Nuln Oil.
"The Space Marines had arrived and they are fear incarnate, they are the Lords of Death." |
As a penultimate touch I applied a Crusade Icon decal to an area of its armour plating, which was taken from a second-hand sheet of Dark Angels Primaris Space Marines transfers I specially bought for just such a purpose. Lastly, I gave the Frigate’s widget a couple of coats of “Citadel” Abaddon Black too, so as to better hide it on my Deep Space “Hotz” mat. This originally transparent-coloured piece was taken from one of the new “Dropzone Commander” flight-stands, and replaced the broken stem I drilled out before I even started painting…

Alongside this Focke-Achgelis class medium war walker, I have also started pigmenting a few bases of Elemental super-soldiers to use as objective-securing ground forces. The 6mm plastic figures actually come on hexagonal bases of five miniatures inside the “BattleTech: Clan Elemental Star” boxed set, but I’ve decided to spread them out a bit more by only attaching three models to every 25mm circular stand.
