Red Alert - The other side

 Over the weekend I managed to finish painting and basing the second faction.  To stand out from the blue fleet, I have gone again for a gunmetal base coat, but this time added red and grey highlights.

Here is the second fleet:

Here you can see the six battleships at the front, the command ship with its escort fighters, six cruisers, 12 destroyers and three clusters of fighters.
I also painted three more blue faction battleships.  This completes all of the capital ships and most of the support vessels.  There are a few more odds and ends to do, but I now have enough for the opening scenarios of the game.

  1. Nice work on the other faction, must admit the red certainly "pops", very nice.

    1. Thanks Donnie, yes, I think the red fleet will become the good guys!

  2. Nice paint schemes. I think this is one of those games which passed me by when it first came out, but the mass of starship components makes it quite attractive.

    1. Thanks Martin. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. My butterfly mind is already wondering if I could substitute WW1 warships for starships and create a vnaval version.
