Lovely entries both!

Who makes the White Armada spaceships? I don't recognise them.

Those are Eldar spaceships from GW's Battlefleet Gothic game. IMHO the best game they put out since 40k 2ed. Beautifully done, that white scheme exudes a "spectral" or "ghostly" quality that much befits the Eldar designs.

Rather hard decision - pure 2ed nostalgia in the second pic, fond recollections of BFG in the first.

Thanks Chris.

I don't know much about BFG at all. They are beautiful models though, and very nicely painted here.

That Snakebite boss ended up in my collection somehow back in the 90's - must repaint him sometime. Always had a hankering for those Space Ork troopers too...  8)

Lovely Eldar ships too - makes me want to track down BFG's predecessor Space Fleet!

So sad that GW killed off the greatest games they made to support their mass-market drivel.
