I have painted the first of my Dreadfleet, the pirate vessel swordfish.
The model behind is a cruiser from the Spartan Games Uncharted Seas. the scale, as you can see, is more or less the same, which is useful.
Dreadfleet is very good value. So far I am impressed.
Great work John - love the hull detailing and images on the sails
ReplyDeleteNice work, I've been following Dreadfleet for some time and have been impressed with what I've seen; looking forward to your AAR...nice one!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work, John! Love how the water came out, and looking forward to seeing more of the fleet!

Argh. Every post like this tips me closer to buying Dreadfleet.

Kids: Daddy, where are the presents?
Me: Go away. I'm painting tiny, tiny ships.

I'm happy that I bought it. My take on Dreadfleet is if your on a tight budget and want a good fantasy sea game ... go with Uncharted Seas. You'll get alot more out of that. If however your a dyed in the wool GW fanboy (like me) and you also have Uncharted ... hmmm ... indeed this stuff is a box o' gold. I have yet to assemble my stuff or play a game but the reviews I've read and the general scuttlebutt is that its a solid, fun game. You combine that with the utility of using all these models, terrain, markers, etc. for scenario games with Uncharted and its really a very good value.

ReplyDeleteThe bits are easily worth £70 even if you don't rate the game. I have only played it once so far but I do have reservations.
