A simple paint-job but it does the job imho.<br /><br />It is a bit odd that the Nurgling models come in rows, and as a result cover up the middle ones. But I suppose it allows you to customise etc, as the box does contain a few individual Nurglings, so you don't have to use the stacks if you don't want to.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-18229223535753057412016-09-20T16:37:12.988-07:002016-09-20T16:37:12.988-07:00Really like those Romulan ships, very much in keep...Really like those Romulan ships, very much in keeping with the original theme in their designs!<br /><br />Nurglings - can never have too many, except when you can't see the ones in the middle!Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-6646732676976776212016-09-20T03:33:02.348-07:002016-09-20T03:33:02.348-07:00Thanks Joe, glad you're a fan of "Irregul...Thanks Joe, glad you're a fan of "Irregular Miniatures" spaceships too - and Hugh's old posting on them is absolutely responsible for my purchasing so many of them!!<br /><br />I think you're spot on about the Nurglings being some sort of diseased group of deranged cheerleaders!!

But as you say their online catalogue doesn't show you everything you'd want. As a result I bought one of each from their Imperial and Dysonian Fleets simply to see what the vessels looked like in the flesh, and was so impressed by their service that I've subsequently bought more reinforcements like these :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-48220288867383539232016-09-19T08:09:18.204-07:002016-09-19T08:09:18.204-07:00I've got a lot of good feeling for the Irregul...I've got a lot of good feeling for the Irregular spaceships.

I'll be sticking with "Irregular Miniatures" for now as despite some casting issues the service is great and the minis paint up well.<br /><br />Flying stands are also an issue for me as I only these days use the old "Games Workshop" Ball & Socket ones, and they are now OOP. I do though use some of their others to 'hold' the vessels until I'm finished painting them.<br /><br />The "7TV" BatRep won't be that different to a normal game, except movement (templates) and close combat (boarding actions). But I'd be delighted to give your version a go too if you'd like?Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-67477340574329074862016-09-17T05:39:49.609-07:002016-09-17T05:39:49.609-07:00Nice work on your starships, Simon.

Decisions, decisions...<br />However, I have now officially run out of flying stands, so my next purchase will probably be from eM-4 - their plastic spaceships pack not only has some useful models, but comes with 12 black plastic flying stands, so even if I don't base all the ships, I can use the bases for some more of my own.<br />And I'm looking forward to seeing how you use 7TV for space combat. Once I've finished tinkering with my rules, you might like to give them a go. The first playtest/batrep will hopefully be posted before the end of the weekend...Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-77867771063456964832016-09-17T04:05:10.421-07:002016-09-17T04:05:10.421-07:00Thanks Andy.
