Austro-Hungarian Fleet for Castles in the Sky
« on: August 05, 2025, 04:26:13 PM »
I have been playing some Castles in the Sky with the True Crit Gaming Guild, and that encouraged me to pick-up another fleet. I managed to get this Austro-Hungarian fleet from Brigade before the new Tariffs kicked in. I got them from Scale Creep Miniatures.

You can see how I painted the entire fleet on the blog, but here is a flavor of it.....

Very cool - and many more airships to see on the blog.

Seems today is a day of miniature temptations - I do like the concept of Castles in the Sky but it does feel like another game to try to fit into too few gaming opportunities.

I literally just jumped on this bandwagon. I have some Brigade Peruvian and French to assemble and paint.

Just finished assembly. Getting the masts to stay glued is a right beast.

I skip the masts for most of my ships.  I find them too delicate for gaming anyway.

No masts?!?

Where DO you put the rigging? signal flags?  ;D

I got a game in with these guys.  A game of Castles in the Sky.  Royal Navy versus the Dual Monarchy. 



You can read the details on the blog.
