Dropfleet Commander Boot Camp – Friday

Checking Out Rob’s Painted Scourge Fleet

Checking Out Rob's Painted Scourge Fleet

Dec 9 2016 @ 22:00 108 Comments

We take a look at the fleet painted up by Rob, of the Drop Beasts (more on that this weekend), who has gone for a very deep sea theme for his Scourge Fleet for this weekend.

They're looking great and it would be awesome to see them doing battle over the next couple of days!

Love the blue colour scheme for the Scourge, nice to hear that they are based on squids since I always imagined the Scourge to be very gribbly.

Nice paint job! I love the thought you put around the color choices for each ship.

Um Rainbow fleet! Every ship a different brillant color and their battle cry can be “Taste the Rainbow!” Okay that might be a bit much but I’ve been up for a while so I will blame that.

I feel like either my PHR or UCM will be a dark grey with two red diagonal red stripes. Possibly teal stripes…

I really like the idea of changing the colours dependent on the “level” of ship, should look really nice when they are all done.

I like the squid color scheme he picked out … feels very organic and natural.

I have no clue what to paint my scourge like, so might try some kind of pink and purple or other such wierdness

CommodoreRob and his fleet of hedgehogs.
That colour scheme would look awesome with washes of imperial Purple and Violet

Expanions! “Deepsea Commander?” The UCM only have submarines and surface ships, while the PHR have several sub surface ships, the Shaltari are mostly unaffected with several new “create a void by transporting huge amounts of water out from underneath a vessel, crushing it with it’s own weight!” tactics.

The Scourge meanwhile, rule the seas and are one the most powerful factions.
Missions like – assault the deep sea compound, where getting your boarding subs to the target is paramount.

Lastly! The Resistance finally joins, using old per-Scourge submarines and old ironclad like surface vessels, in low numbers HA!

Was very impressed when you divulged your epic collection of fleets, down the pub before the Walking Dead boot camp.
I still think you should have taken the entire collection to the boot camp and said “all at once boys. I’ll take you all on!” and just pushed tables together and taken over half the boot camp.
🙂
Even though it kind of clashes with your Scourge fleet on show I’d go for a Babylon 5 Minbari dark blue / purple.
With your UCM you should drop from a grimy battleship grey for the heavier classes down to a battle damaged white for the smaller vessels?
Have a great time Rob
