Inquisition/Custodes Cruisers

Inquisition/Custodes Cruisers

I bought these Star Galleon ships from Vanguard Miniatures ages ago, but didn’t get round to painting them until now.

As I have been working through the various scenarios, campaigns, and fleet lists from the Battlefleet Gothic: Remastered rulebook (about which I will post soon!) I have come across a few scenarios that look fun to play and which require reserves and/or specialist ships. These two will stand in as Inquisitorial cruisers, or maybe Adeptus Custodes cruisers from Battlefleet Indomitus. I love how the design calls back to the original ships from Space Fleet!

Here is the entire, reinforced Battlefleet Vastus, in all its glory.

Reinforcements for Battlefleet Vastus, Pt III

Here come the final reinforcements for Battlefleet Vastus, for now at least!

The showstopper is obviously this awesome 3D-printed Emperor-class Battleship, the sister to Invictus. Look at all those launch bays.

She’s not arrived alone, but the rest is below the fold.

Stay tuned, as the ships of Battlefleet Vastus will be sailing en masse very soon!

Three cruisers of Battlefleet Vastus.

Here are three new cruisers to reinforce Battlefleet Vastus, along with the escorts in my last post.

Reinforcements for Battlefleet Vastus, Pt I

I am working on some new ships to reinforce Battlefleet Vastus, and the first to leave drydock are two squadrons of escorts: some Firestorm Rapid Strike Vessels, and some more Cobra Destroyers:

Cobra Destroyers

The veterans among my readership may notice that the Firestorms are not the frigates from Battlefleet Gothic released in 1999, but the cruisers of the same name from Space Fleet, the forerunner to BFG, which was released in 1991.

Stand by for more BFG hobby content in the near future!

The Return of Battlefleet Vastus

Towards the end of last year, some of us in the North Kent Legions Imperialis group started talking about Battlefleet Gothic. A few of us had either played it in the past or were interested in starting. And as a result, last night I was able to haul Battlefleet Vastus out of drydock and launch it into the Void to bring the Emperor’s retribution to the filthy Xenos!

2025, wrapped!

2025 was a busy year! In fact, it might be one of the busiest hobby years of my life. Here are the stats…

Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer Squadron

These tanks both look awesome and are awesome on the table. I think four is enough, even for the Covenant of Ruin!

I have some Mastodons in the queue, and will definitely get some Saturnine units and Fellblade/Falchion/Glaive squadrons, but my main priority for Legions Imperialis for now is building out my Dark Mechanicum army, so stay tuned for updates!

Legion Crassus Dire Wolf Titan

Here is the latest edition to Legio Crassus, my homebrew traitor titan legion. To be honest I am not an enormous fan of the Dire Wolf as a miniature, which unlike the other titan classes, is neither posable and nor very detailed. Still, I think it will be useful, and I will try to fit it into my list for my next game of Legions Imperialis.

I magnetised the carapace weapon and the two hydraulic arms which hold it in place, so I can switch out the weapon (you get three). The arms and waist are push-fit, and I will leave it that way to keep it easy to transport.

Dark Mechanicum Battle Automata

I have just finished the last base of battle automata for my Dark Mechanicum. I think it’s fair to say that these tiny, multi-part models are about as hard to build as it gets. But they look great!
