The Cygnians Arrive

 

New race for Battlefront Valkyrie. Easy to print and fun to paint. The Cylon-esque Cygnians are very distinctive, and called for a different paint job. I found Cobalt metal (a blueish metallic) from Army Painter, it looks great on them! Even if it really hard to see in these photos. I'm still working on the Hot Pink Prototypes...

Fighting killer robots just never gets old. Might as well look good doing it. I do believe we shall try a battle this weekend to give the game a go.

Funny things can happen when you say "It doesn't matter". 

Fat Dragon has released the 5th expansion for Battlefront Valkyrie, a brand new faction with a very cool Cylon-ish feel. I asked Mrs. Blackheart to print them for me on her fancy Prusa XL, and she asked, "What color do you  want them?" 

I am going to prime them, and then spray a silver base coat, so it didn't really matter, and I said so.  

I kinda love my hot pink, A.I. controlled starships. I think I may just try a dark wash and see what happens.

3D Printed Starship Game

 

Battlefront Valkyrie is a Starship Combat miniatures game from Fat Dragon. It is made so you print out everything. And it is quite easy to do so. The ships are designed to be printed on a filament printer with no supports, so it is quick and easy. As are the stands and game markers. The nice ship facing graphics are also supplied, I printed them out on photo paper and the result is impressive.

Two fleets come with the base game, both kinda Star Trek-ish, which I do love.

The Terran Fleet.

The Kurgun Fleet.

At the moment five small expansions have been released with a bunch more planned, including a new fleet. 

Painting was fun and easy, and they really look sharp on the tabletop. I'm printing the game tokens (filament) and the ship control cards (paper) and will be ready to try out this new game next week.
