Project: Dystopian Wars - Federated States of America Fleet - Complete



        Men and Women of the Federated States of America, today is a day we shall no longer allow our selves to be bullied, to day we shall no longer take the words of the foreign dignitaries who tell us it is not our place to want to help others. Who tell us that we would not stand a chance if we choose to do what is right. Today, we fight for both our freedom and the freedom of others.  Today we have a chance to strike back at those who work to oppress us from looking past our own physical boards. Today we launch the finest fleet of the 19th century and we will show our enemies what american mettle is made of.



That what I would think a speech would sound like in this fictional world.  I could be right, could be completely wrong, who knows.  All I do know is the fleet IS ready to launch.

I finished it this last week.  Mostly I needed to complete the optional generators.

The Missile Launchers are a pretty obvious one. Originally i was going to paint them black with a red tip, I realized that the last thing I want the enemies of our grate nation to see is our glorious colors shining in the sky.   So I had to go with the old Red, White and Blue.





Next is the Shield Generators, Pretty simple honestly I wanted to give it a glowing aura so I went a little crazy with the dry brushing of the light blue over the dark blue base coat.








Finally the Kinetic Generators, in the game they actually provide faster movement which in a game of strategic placement can always be a plus. I went with a red hew. This image doesn't give it justice  as in person is really pops out.



Simple as that. Suddenly in my first week of having a blog about trying to actually get projects finished... i finish one.

Here are some nice "water" shots. Please let me know what you think in the comment field down below.











Next on the docket:  Battle Report!  Vampire Counts vs. Wood Elves 1250 points.  We will be having a battle on Saturday morning, a typical "Breakfast and Blood" as Tim and I enjoy calling it.  I hope to remember to take pictures.  Battle reports tend to be a little stale when they don't have anything to show.
