Dreadfleet Monsters and Cog


An undead sea dragon, a water monster and a cog. For some reason, ships boats are called auxilliaries in Dreadfleet and some are called cogs and modelled on same. It's a nice model but an oared cog with a single square sail was an early medieval coastal merchantman used in places like the Baltic. It's al very confusing. Nice models though.

    Wow John,
    You are painting these very quickly and a good job to boot. Nice sea-scape bases.

    Hi John
    I was looking at the scale of these boats and realised they are so SO BIG perhaps a cog would be about the right size think of James Bond and the Nuclear Subs in the super tanker

    DearShaun
    Guess you are right. It's just that cogs seem so wrong.

    I like your simple yet very effective painting style. Especially the sea dragon (I truly believed that they are real when i was a little kid :) )
