Finally, Imperial Submarines

[Easy E]

Greetings,

About a decade ago, I created a game called Aquanautic Imperialis: Battle for the Depths.  The game was about submarines battles in the Warhammer 40K universe.  I made some MS Paint template for the game and used those to play a bit.

I had intended to sculpt up some submarines from Sculpey, as this was pre-3D printing became a thing.  I only got as far as the Ork subs in Sculpey. 

Eventually, 3D printing did become a thing so I could maybe finish this project? On Thingiverse I found a Nemo Nautilus submarine I though had the right feel to look like Imperial submarines.  After a few sizing attempts and prints I finally got it to what I wanted.  I then painted them up with speed paints and this is the result. 



Here are the Imperial Subs versus some Ork subs.

Great idea!
I really like the idea of 40k-izing not yet 40k-ized wargame genres, I was toying with the thought of a 40k fleet game (ww1 naval combat but with 40k titan guns), on the other hand it would be not that different from a space fleet game which 40k already has.

That was where this started and was a perfectly playable game.  The submarines are  spin-off game!
