I actually painted some BFG stuff this week, been sitting around for a few months gathering dust, so it was about time I did.

the ships are part of the Armanian navy, these ships are part of the actual fleet itself, not the security forces, but they do take part in guarding the Praxis Corridor from pirate activity if required.
(I'll expand on this fluff at a later time, but in basic terms the Armanian sector has a large winding corridor of space passing through that is relatively calm and safe for travel called the Praxis Corridor, the Armanian navy and Armanian naval security forces guard this region of space against pirates as imperial warships and merchant ships pass through it)

First up the Gothic class cruiser and newest cruiser addition to the Armanian Naval Forces ANF Two for Flinching

One of the oldest vessels in the ANF is the Lunar class cruiser ANF Forward Unto Dawn, this vessel under the command of Captain Augustus Rhinefelt was involved in heavy pirate activity several years ago when a space wolf convoy was attacked by a large pirate force, including 2 Slaughter class cruisers, the Forward Unto Dawn maneuvered itself in the path of the guns of the 2 enemy cruisers and bore the brunt of the attack shielding the Marine transports and crippled astartes strike cruiser "Froststorm ", the Dawn was crippled herself and limped back to Armanian space with the Astartes vessel, she was repaired and as a token of thanks her prow eagle was sculpted from the bones of a legendary Kraken from Fenris and the crew of the Dawn were counted as wolf brothers ever since.
she accounted for 4 Iconoclast pirate vessels, and 1 of the 2 cruisers that day.

Another one of the oldest ships in the Armanian navy is the ANF Fair Weather a dominator class cruiser, at the moment undergoing refits after a severe ship wide power failure several months ago in the middle of an anti pirate mission, this failure lead to the destruction and capture of 3 imperial transport ships, thankfully empty at the time.

A rare sight amongst imperial fleets is the Jovian class Battlecruiser, Armania is blessed with 2 such hips, this one the ANF Hopeful is relegated to training duties at the moment, teaching up and coming new officers the finer points of carrier duties, but before this she has had a so far short but very promising career, which hope to continue.

that would be nice, its been years since I last played gothic and I do miss it, and I do enjoy the models, so actually using them at some point would be fun, plus I got all these rule downloads like the armada and Nemesis books and all the ships from the BFG magazine using up space on my drive, nice to have a reason to use them.

I only really painted them because of victory at sea, it made me remember gothic, gave me that same feeling I got playing gothic, so I now I need to play it.

got some more stuff painted, and this bunch really did cause me trouble, the varnish basically ruined 12 models, 11 I have saved, but 1 anima tactics model will need re touching up....or basically repainting, as the base also went weird, dunno why.

but anyway this is what I have at the moment Anima and LotR stuff

Guy with big sword whos name escapes me is up first, with a different color to gold, not a huge gold armour fan, another reason I despise blood angels.

Eowyn, did anyone notice how much of a you know what she was?, almost falling over her feet for aragorn then meets faramir and in 2 seconds there pretty much on to a full on steam session.

well the good thing is even if we don't I do enjoy just painting the models themselves, which is always useful, I even wanna paint up a small necromunda gang and mordheim warband, maybe an inquisitor model or two, just for giggles, brings back good times......well maybe less with inquisitor because of the huge number of power gamers in my store when I used to play in the dreaded GW

time to add more pics now that my camera and the weather decided to let me.

The Dauntless class Light cruiser ANF Allegiance, recently very active against pirates in the south east quarter of the Praxis corridor, accounting for 6 pirate escorts of varying classes and a small pirate asteroid hideout, its intelligence gathering however has uncovered disturbing power signals in this sector, further information classified at this time.

Firestorm class escorts attached to 225 squadron, currently undergoing refits to there lance armament, not the silver eagle on the prows usually reserved for cruisers compared to the usual white for escorts, the two ships were awarded these prows for the actions at station 316 in the far south of the corridor, where they accounted for a renegade light cruiser by overloading there engines with well placed shots.
