Battlefleet Gothic 8

Right...had a slight change of plan.

Basically ignore the previous fleet list. I have dicided to only do a Chaos fleet rather than one Chaos and one Imperial Navy. As such I am now going to increase the Chaos force to 4k (and a bit).

Part of this will include a small Renegade Marine element of a couple of strike cruisers and some Marine escort craft (all from FW) and another fallen Navy Cruiser. These to come later.

Untill then I have take three badly built and painted plastic cruisers which came off ebay, pulled them apart, stripped them and rebuilt them.

First off WIP shots of a Acheron Heavy Cruiser and a Devastator Cruiser, the GS underneath is done but I need to do work on the tops yet.

Devastation GS

Acheron GS

The third Cruiser is becoming something a bit more interesting. Namely a Deamonically possessed Murder Class Cruiser:

Still a bit more work to do on it. Quite pleased how the 'spine' came out. Used a bit from the DE Talos sprues. Lots of handy bits on those sprues.

Meanwhile I painted the first five escorts:

The fleet thus far.

Fingers crossed tomorrow will see the second squadron of five escorts painted and the three cruisers above finished build wise and undecoated.
