Tenebris Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 So in general terms I woul need two more cruisers for a legit list. Hmm time to hit Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have a reasonably large stockpile of Imperial ships which I have been accumulating for the local group to save them paying Ebay prices, welcome to flick me a PM with what you are hunting down if you like, although admittadly for just a couple of cruisers the International postage might be a killer, but eBay prices can be pretty crazy.

Master Ciaphas Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Those Helian-thingys look very nice. I must say...very nice indeed!  Anyhow, I have painted up the very last of my Imperial Navy Dauntless-class light cruisers, bringing the total to 4. Two of each variant can now be fielded :-D  Imperial Navy Dauntless-class light cruiser (torpedo variant) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/Battlefleet%20Gothic/IMG_2745_zpsjfsvbblp.jpg  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/Battlefleet%20Gothic/IMG_2746_zpskzanosuv.jpg  I have zero idea, as to how they will perform on the battlefield - I feel more confident about the lance variant, than the torpedo variant...  Regards, Master Ciaphas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The answer is quite well. Speed and maneuverability of a frigate, torpedo spread of a cruiser. I just had a game against one (see my battle report thread!), and though I didn't mention it much, it was a big pain in the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hail!  So - a little bit of painting has seen this bad boy come off the drydock, ready to bring weapon battery justice to the Imperial lapdogs!

DinoDoc Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 What are you using the Helian Dreadnaughts as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The Nicor and the other one off ship is a counts as Night Hag, both from Imperial Armour: Badab War  Or in games which those ships are not permitted, just a Venerable Battlebarge using the Grand Cruiser profiles. My Imperial Navy contingent will be using the Helios Cruisers as Grand Cruisers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dono1979 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It's the expensive hulks that impress me the most. Â Someone commented on another thread about that as well, the way I look at it is that most of your cruisers will at one time or another get Hulked, especially in Campaigns, and the Hulk often plays just an important role during the game as a live ship. It becomes the focus of salvage and can also drift into a pack of enemy ships and explode, so often there is a bit of focus on the model. Having a nice looking Hulked ship (I find) adds a lot to the games atmosphere. Â Plus the Helios range is pure awesome and I was very keen to have a before and after model of the Fleets flagship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malika666 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 And since you're in Australia, the ships are less expensive (no international shipping and no fancy import tax). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Both Dauntless variants are good ships and well worth their points imho, back when I played (read: back when my fleet minis were intact, rip) they were a mainstay, I never made a list without a pair of at least one variety. Which one you go for depends a little on what you favour in the rest of your fleet, of course, but definitely try them out if you get a chance. I always favoured the lance variant because I liked lances slightly more than was reasonable, but on reflection, I think the torpedo dauntless was more often a decisive factor in winning battles. It's a nasty armament for a ship that fast.  Dono1979: that's an insane collection. Congrats on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malika666 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The giant ship? I doubt it, it would probably be way too expensive. I hope that he'll cast them, kinda like what he did with the blast markers.  In the meantime, Battlegroup Helios just released their Helian Corvettes: http://www.battlegrouphelios.com/index.php/9-helian/13-helian-escort-corvette http://www.battlegrouphelios.com/images/Products/000006c.jpg  And I've been working on some new transportships.
