Post by: Laughing Ferret on December 05, 2011, 11:28:25 PM

Been trying to find time to paint these since summer.. finally squeezed in the time  :D

from Hydra Miniatures' War Rocket: Imperials face off against the Zenithians.
I was slated to try out the rules last weekend, but we ran out of time... hopefully soon!

Great looking fleets, two of my favorites model wise.

The style of the game doesn't appeal too much to me, but there's no denying that they're some well made models and those are paintjobs worthy of them - nice work.

Very nicely done (and good photography, too - my camera can't cope with light-coloured spaceships on a black starmat).

Both the fleets look stellar. Love the way you painted your Imperial ships. They look like they came right off the screen of the 80's Flash Gordon movie. That's high praise from me. Flash was my favorite movie when I was a kid. Still love it.

Very nice. The color scheme makes it really easy to tell both fleets apart.

The playing mat is also amazing.

You have good taste.  :)

Thanks all! Much appreciated.

Steve: the photoing was very tricky- wasn't easy to get it right, especially the Zenithians.
