I think the PHR one is great. I like the Theseus more than the Orion. Its fast enough to keep up with the battlecruisers.

Ikarus and Hector are also going to be used in every game.

I think i like it, but i might throw it in the purple power...

Edit : it is growing on me. I think in a mass of ships it would look good.

I have 18 frigate's armor base coated! 2 are in Super Clean and will get fixed up when i paint my cruisers.

I went with a naval grey for the armor and abandoned the camo. All it did was make the model seem flat.

I grabbed 2 PHR battleships and some launch assets from them today.

I'm part of the problem.

The huge sprue joins on the noses of the PHR ships are giving me fits. Even after going crazy with a razor and files I can't get them as smooth as I want them. Does anyone have sage advice on that?

I glued them with liberal plastic cement, then sanding stick'ed it down to flush.

Anyone have build recommendations for Shaltari?

I have:
1 Battleship (i will magnetize for both)
7 Cruisers
12 Frigates

Are the microwave frigates good, because they seem good to me!

I am kinda experimenting...

I used white and grey vallejo primer.
The yellow is Process Yellow ink from Daler Rowney mixed with Pledge Floor Finish (1 drop to 1 drop).
Then its a les bursley's red wash.

The yellow and pledge is so i have a built in gloss coat for the wash.

I am trying to get this down to like 30 minutes per model.

Edit: if you search on YouTube, you can find the game creator painting Shaltari with Yellow and Red wash.

Anyone have thoughts on this allocation for 10 Shaltari Cruisers:
3 Emerald Motherships
2 Obsidian Heavy Cruisers
1 Jet Heavy Cruiser
2 Granite Fleet Carriers
2 Amber Cruisers

In addition, I have 16 frigates and one battleship.

I am kinda saddened that PHR Broadsides need a little help. Thematically its my favorite faction gimmick. Their bombers are rad, and they can easily cap out their launch asset limit.

Cyborg bombers for life!

Thanks for sharing, I was happy with trying not to think about it!

My Leonidas felt like a long job with those big fins...

I forgot to count my Leonidas, and my 2 battleships, because they aren't primed yet. So add on like 200-300 more.

:downsgun:

It will probably take an hour or so for my frigates & crruisers.

I copied what a guy on facebook did on the Heracles. I added Perseus heavy cannons to the hull using a 5mm drill bit.

I like that there was a video that came from a tournament that the Hawk guys participated within the last few weeks. They talked about how they were going to look into some possible tweaks. They actually did it!

I like the linked rules for PHR, since it was odd that the only way to Broadside was to use Weapons Free.

I need some Shaltari fleet advice. I have 6 Topaz, 4 Amethysts, and 2 Opals. I also have an unbuilt frigate sprue.

What should I build? Are the Shaltari corvettes any good?
