'Absolutely Stunning!!!'

@ all of you with the compliments...

Thank you.
It was a labor of love, that started with jealousy at Ray Rivers aeronef project - after building the first one, I found myself looking for a different group to put as a flag on it's bow, and got started on the Norwegian first. I should have the King and his daughter, and their mad dwarf spark - who is the creator of the Gorilla Clank and the Armor Clank - and some of their Martian allies once I order them from Bronze Age is the next few months.

Amazing! If I lived in Oregon, I would convert to VSF in a heartbeat. This is outstanding stuff! Not just the builds of the aeronefs - which are incredible, by the way! - but also the inventive use of pre-existing models for the project. I love the Warmachine Warjack with the two shields, for example. I have five or six Cygnar 'jacks, and have been thinking of using them for Weird Wild West, but had imagined they would need converting, and kept putting it off. I can see now, from your brilliant paint job on the 'jack, that sometimes it's just a question of rethinking the colour scheme in order to create something amazing.

Absolutely brilliant!

Stunning work and great pics : I particularly like your choice of colors : the contrast on the vessels between the blue-grey,  the mahogany deck and the yellow ladders (what a great idea) is striking !

My dear fellow you have excelled yourself with this project and probably set an example to quite few of us. Wack that stuff on a games table and I reckon you wont find it hard to find converts to VSF.

Well done!

Sinewgrab, how many of the Bronze Age "dead earth" people do you need?  I've got the lot, and I could be persuaded to either paint them for use in a game involving your free Norwegians or to sell them to you, since I've got a few other projects to work on.  Do you want to take a look at them during our next game meeting on July 12 ???

Tada!  And yes, I know it has been over a year, and almost two since I started this thread, but it feels like the best place to drop the newest forces!

And I present to you, the Valkyrie 1, soon to be joined by his 2 sister-vessels.



And I have even more on its way.

I have to thank FUBAR for resurrecting my interest in this army. A friend and I have been putting Imperial Stormtroopers up against GW Space MArines, and now we are putting his IMperial Guard against my Norwegian First. Huzzah!
