War Rocket - Space Battles in the Retroverse! Pew, pew, pew!!

Thanks guys

@Codsticker - Yeah I wasn't completely convinced either

Looking good. For me it's another of those projects that looked a good idea at the time, but it ended up shelved. Glad to see you're going somewhere with it.

very nice indeed

My first small fleet is finished...

I'm really happy with how these rockets have turned out. I went with clear stems and a more grounded base as I'm planning on using them with a grassy mat and some rocky terrain. I've used Hawk widgets so I can easily pop these guys off their stems and switch out for black-space bases.

Next up I'm going to be working on some terrain for my rockets to fly round...pew, pew, pew!!!

Nice work and the terrain looks good. I have seen the game and been tempted, but we have other games that are too similar. So those Hawk widgets fit ordinary flight stands too? Are they designed to fit any stand?

[Lost Egg]

Thanks guys

@Commander Roj - They do indeed fit the usual flight stands just about. They don't grip by much but it still seems snug. Sorry, no idea about other flight stands but I think I read they are designed to fit 3mm rods.

The Galacteers are done!

They even survived a superglue accident, though I did mange to stick the tube to my hand; it turns out it wasn't a tube of gel superglue and it flooded everywhere!

I wasn't too sure about the shade of blue but I persevered and I think it worked in the end. They should look good opposite the Valkeeri...I just need to sort out a small game to try them both out. Hopefully I can try and do a battle report too...hopefully...

Excellent!

Like the way those rock outcrops turned out! Brilliant idea! 

Does anyone make any figures in scale with the Retro  Raygun ships? I'm not sure they have a stated scale. I guess it depends upon how many persons one thinks each should hold. The smallest I guess could be one or two pilots ships.

I have them but have really only used them out of atmosphere so scale did not come up. In fact, now that I think of it, my Valkeeri fleet might be the last thing I've fully painted (as opposed to started and stopped) in a long time. I have a lot of projects "in progress". 

[Lost Egg]

Thank you sir!

I believe the War Rocket minis are 10mm scale so the class 1s are a single pilot. Hydra are working on Atomic Tank which is going to be in the same scale. No idea of a release date though.

I know what you mean. I solves the problem by selling off all my 'in progress' projects

[Lost Egg]

Well there weren't any rockets at Salute this year but I did pick up some Maelstrom's Edge minis to use as flying monsters...

A bit of a cliche but I have been referring to these beasts as Banshees, winged predators common throughout my corner of the Retroverse. They are able to emit sonic pulses to kill their prey...sadly for the Valkeeri below they are also potentially lethal for rockets too.

No conversions here though I did use the Dropfleet widgets again for ease of transport and whatnot.

Lovely work, and a very neat concept for a project.  Really need to order some of those fishbat critters.
