It gets better. The reason why this island made such a great base of operation in what is known for being an incredibly hostile environment? It's an island on top of a massive active volcano!

I have high hopes for the Fresnel making Energy Turrets viable! |
Enter this video and totally fascinating bit of history and I've got my plan! So I think what I'll do is make a miniature version of this island. In my mind the CoA position the island as an innocent whaling factory but what it really is is a secret monitoring station for one of the CoA's giant staging fleet teleporters! It's gonna look incredible.
On that note we've really ramped up on the Dystopian Wars thing again recently. Both Brad and I brushed off our models last weekend and had ourselves a good game (and a podcast! I just need to finish processing it!) and totally fell in love with the models and game again. :)
Some finished Thales. |
So as a result we're going to have fully painted fleets and fully painted terrain. I've already painted up a squad of Zeno class medium cruisers, some more escorts and my dearly beloved and newly Christened Fresnel class support cruiser which have breathed new life into my beloved Plato cruisers. So long as I get my Thales corvettes finished this weekend I am going to see if I can't whip out a few more large islands and finish the water effects on some of my existing ones to make the battle report really pop!

In the meantime here are some pictures of some newer CoA models to whet your creative whistles!
One of the things that I love so much about this game is the creativity that is inherent in the subject matter!
