"Enterprise, This Is Captain William Riker Of The Klingon Vessel Pagh."

"I order you to lower your shields and surrender."

This Kurgun B-1A Battlecruiser was created using some "Bambu Lab" Matt White PLA (Polylactic Acid) on an A1 Mini 3D Printer, and can be purchased as an STL (Standard Triangle Language) file by "Fat Dragon Games" as "Battlefront Valkyrie" Expansion Set 11 - albeit I was lucky enough to be sent this particular file for free by the tabletop gaming publisher. The two-piece spacecraft has been printed using a 0.2mm nozzle, with a 0.1mm layer height in order to minimise any striation lines on the finished model, and measures an impressive 80mm in length.

The "sleek, heavily armoured behemoth" was primed with plenty of "Vallejo" Heavy Green and shaded with "Citadel" Biel-Tan Green. I then enthusiastically dry-brushed it with (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Green, before 'picking out' its rear warp nacelle and "devastating massive plasma cannon" with a combination of "Scale 75" White Alchemy and "Citadel" Flesh Tearers Red.

"Beast In The Broch" WIPs - Alpha One and Alpha Two

Having completed so straightforward a miniature, I have also (finally) be able to make a start on the last two figures I need to finish from the Systemic Units set by "Beast In The Broch" - namely Alpha One and Alpha Two. This pair of 'leaders' are a bit more colourful than the quartet of Systemic Security minions I've recently been ploughing through, so will doubtless take a bit more time to get tabletop ready than their predominantly black-uniformed guards.

However, I will be incentivised by Graeme Dawson's recent announcement of some more (very welcome) additions to this science fiction range, including some FedSec Technicians and (male) Mutaints, as well as the imposing looking Alien Harvester - which bears an uncanny resemblance to the giant insects seen in the February 1980 television of "Blake's 7" entitled "The Harvest of Kairos". In addition, the company has also announced that a duo of space assassins and two rogue FedSec scientists are now up for pre-order too.

"Crooked Dice Game Design Studio" WIPs - Three of the four Alien Legionnaries I'm currently working on

I'm desperately trying to be good with all these temptations, especially as "Beast In The Broch" do a tantalising discount to the cost of their models when pre-ordered. But my painting queue is currently already overwhelmed with all the genres I want to get on my various battlefields, so I really don't want to get too overloaded. Plus I plan to pick up a few more Systemic Security units too, in order to better fill out my patrol squad, so it'll be a sizeable amount of miniatures when I'm actually ready to checkout my online basket.

To make matters worse, I'm also having to plod away at four more Alien Legionnaries by "Crooked Dice Game Design Studio" after failing to resist their recent release of a Submarine Security team and Lunar Command crew - all of which have already arrived at 'Fantorical Towers'. These have already joined the Nautican Warriors I have 'waiting in the wings', so I really need to add this predominantly red-coloured quarter to my Heartless Warmonger's ever-growing force as fast as I can...
