Chinese Federation Armored Battle Group - Unboxing

Recently I purchased these models after playing some land games with my French forces using the Fleet Action rule set. The games were a blast so I decided to expand my land forces. First with the Chinese Federation and then next I am looking to possibly acquire an Empire of the Blazing Sun set of forces.

The exterior of the box. Pretty standard stuff for Spartan

The Shen Long Mobile Airfield. The details on this model are incredible and really show off how much Spartans designs have improved over the years.

The individual gear spokes will fit into the slots on the main model allowing you to glue the extensions on in a extended or closed position much like a drawbridge.

Love how this beast looks like a castle!

Shi Medium Robots. These models were probably my least favorite when purchasing this set but have been steadily growing on me since seeing them in person.

I got a little ahead of myself here and glued the bases on. Lots of little details visible on these models.

A close up shot of one of the Shi to show off the excellent detailing present on the model.

Chiwen Medium Tanks. Much like the Shen Long I love how these are like a little rolling castles.

Closer picture of a Chiwen. Its hard to see but the wheels have a lot of detail on them.

Chao Feng Rocket Bombards. I think these guys look awesome with their giant Fireworks launchers.

Close up of a Chao Feng. Again excellent detailing on these models.

All of the Yazi class small tanks. These a pretty cool little miniature. Up close they look like a little house on wheels.

A closer picture of the little wheeled houses. 

A picture of the Chinese SAS tokens. A very cool little model. Same as what is in the Aerial and Naval boxes.

Unfortunately, the boxed set I purchased did not contain the Fushi small robots. I have contacted Spartan and they have already sent replacements to for these so I will update this unboxing once I receive them.

I'm very much looking forward to painting these and getting them onto the tabletop. I have a little time yet as the Fleet Action ruleset still doesn't have stats for the Chinese but it sounds like those are only a week or two off so they will likely be released right around the time I finish painting these guys.

Until next time!

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Naval Group - Painted

I know it has been a while since my last post. Life has been unfortunately busy recently. With the release of the new Fleet Action fast play rules I have been able to play a little more frequently.

I also was able to snap some pictures of my completed Polish naval forces.

I was really happy with how these all turned out. The scheme was a little bit different that my previous Dystopian Wars schemes. I tried to do more with sturginium glow and I am really pleased with the results. It is something that I will definitely be working with more on future projects.

Speaking of future projects, I am currently working on my recently purchased Danish fleet. I also recently decided to purchase a Chinese Federation Armored Battle Group and some Blazing Sun miniatures.
