Games Workshop Battlefleet Gothic Fleet

[WalrusChex]

I've searched the forums and not found any realistic Battlefleet Gothic ships, so I decided to make a few of my. A few meaning the entire array of ships. I know they won't be up to par at all to some people's standards, but I just thought I'd show them anyway. They're supposed to be small, and they follow the armaments blueprints for Games Workshop's BFG ships almost exactly. To avoid cluttering a thread with a thousand pictures, I'll just give the link to my blog, on which I will be constantly posting new BFG ships.

Hope I've not broken any sacred rules here, lol.

the battlefleet gothic oned are pretty nasty to be honest. lots of repetition and very boring. the grey ones were bad enough, the chaos ones phyically hurt my eyes =/

the signa class battleship actually looks pretty nice though. although there is some repetition and the turrets look slapped on it's still decent, you look at that and see what you've done that you haven't done on other ships (eg. fitting sections together, subtle colouring..)

also you should really post pictures here, nobody's going to mind if you post loads

Yeah, they aren't exactly meant for aesthetic appeal. They're blocky and.. .well, brick-like. The color scheme on the chaos ships really was a little... off. a darker red looks slightly better. The BSF ships are all top-down views, and it's hard to incorporate the exact detial of the spires and the curved spikes. They're more rp sort of custom ships, i guess, not so much aesthetically appealing as much as technically accurate for people who enjoy the tabletop game.

*facepalm* yeah, don't ever use that excuse. seriously, this forum is meant to be for imporving your shipbuilding skills and showing off what you've made. it's entirely about aesthetics, so stuff that "isn't made to look good" isn't worth posting.

now, that ship isn't at all accurate. i haven't played warhammer in years, but i'm sure you could do much better. firstly don't spam one section repetitively, then use more appropriate sections, then arm it more realitically, then colour it better, understand?

Vidboi... you really should praise practicality over aesthetics because a ship that looks nice but is terrible in combat is a hideous depravity of a ship and not worth posting... however a ship that is more practical then beautiful is worth posting... however I do agree on your statement that this ship is not very accurate, that the sections are overused, that it is inappropriately armed and it should have different sections.

Angeal, shut up. You have no idea what you're talking about.
