Fleets of Pax Stellarum - League of Kalinorr

 Here's another fleet I've painted a while ago, during the isolation of the pandemic, and never got to show here. These are Ground Zero Games Scandinavian Federation, which I use as ships of the League of Kallinor - another fictional race I developed for the universe of my ruleset, Pax Stellarum.

Fleets of Pax Stellarum - The Star Kingdom of Évonna

Boy, it's been a (long) while since I last posted anything on this blog! Doesn't mean I haven't painted anything since - though I'm not as prolific with the brush lately, I have been painting some stuff, nonetheless, mostly spaceships, and have quite a few fleets lining up to parade here.

The first one is a fleet of Diesho Confederation ships, from Ravenstar Studios. All-round awesome models - great designs, nicely cast, full of details to highlight! 

As some of the readers of this blog may already know, I wrote my own set of rules for my spaceship gaming needs: Pax Stellarum. I'm currently finishing some revisions on the rules, and should be posting up a new link for free download here on the blog in a few days, for those that might be interested in taking a look and giving it a try.

I've also created my own fictional universe of alien races and spacefaring superpowers to give purpose to each of the fleets in my collection. These guys here, as the title suggests, are the ships from the Star Kingdom of Évonna. I plan on doing some posts in the future with brief backgrounds for each of the fictional races I came up with.

Here I decided to go with a color palette that I'd never tried before with spaceships, with pink hulls and coal black details. As a final touch, I added some white Tau decals, to escape the dullness of single-color surfaces, and I liked the end result very much!

For the engines, I usually go with either orange or light blue, as I find those are the best colors to create the illusion of glowing engines, and with these ships, light blue seemed the best fit.

I also painted some fighters to go with the fleet, these ones from Studio Bergstrom:

As no fleet is complete without a space station to dock on, I decided to repurpose one of the Firestorm Armada stations I had laying around, as I felt its design was somewhat compatible with the feel of this fleet:

Spaceship freighters

I've been wishing to work on such a project for a while, a fleet of freighters, haulers and tankers for spaceship gaming. These models offer great opportunities of scenarios for space battles. All miniatures from Ground Zero Games.

A base on an asteroid

I was working on the backyard garden the other day and stumbled on this rock. I immediatelly envisoned it as a nice piece for conversion into an asteroid, so I went over my collection of bits to find what would work as surface facilities to be installed on it.

I based it on an Corsec Engineering Omnibase, and did some "terraforming" to create suitably plain areas where to install the facilities.

Here it is alongside a Ground Zero Games NSL ship, to give a sense of its size:

I definitely need to get some spaceships games going again, my collection of fleets have been undisturbed for quite too long.
