Miniatures of the Fortnight #85: WarShips and JumpShips
« on: 02 January 2020, 20:46:33 »
This post was originally meant to see out 2019.  Instead, it will ring in 2020 and... what was I thinking?  For a game universe primarily built around big stompy 'Mechs, there are a lot of JumpShip and WarShip miniatures.

I don't know much about the heritage of any of these miniatures so I don't have much to say here.  I can't tell you anything about using them in game either.  So let's just get on to the list, shall we?

There have been 11 JumpShip minis:
  • Aquilla (BT-233)
  • Comitatus (20-051)
  • Hunter (BT-196)
  • Invader (originally 20-162, now BT-357)
  • Magellan (BT-163)
  • Merchant (BT-124)
  • Monolith (BT-126)
  • Odyssey (BT-089)
  • ScoutQuetzlcoatl (BT-087)
  • Star Lord (BT-125)
  • Tramp (BT-088)
And there have been 78 WarShip minis.  Ten WarShips have had different minis reflecting different artwork in Technical Readout: 2750 and Technical Readout: 3057.Phew.  That's a lot.

If you have any of these 89 miniatures, be they lone examples or entire fleets, please post pictures.  We'd love to see them!

As always, thank you for reading and a special thank you to those who will post.

Curious if we've posted a mini so far?  Check out the Miniature of the Fortnight index.

Is there a mini you want to see that we haven't done yet?  Post in the scheduling and discussion thread.

Our next two fortnights will be:
  • Inner Sphere (1/13): Ostroc and Ostwar
  • Clan (1/27): Invading Clans, Nova Cat Edition: Huntsman (Nobori-Nin) and Supernova

These are awesome & make me very jealous.  I REALLY need to get around to painting up my fleets.

So very awesome seeing Warships painted up. How I wish more ships would be cast so I can buy more.
