First let me say that I like both the Hydran DN and the CL minis. The artist did a fine job but I have a nit to pick.

Does anyone else think that the Hydran Horseman CL is upside down?

Look at the design on the "chin" of the CL? Its marked to be painted silver.

Look at the Hydran Paladin Dreadnaught. It has the same silver design but its on top.

The way the CL is pictured, the head bulge is on the bottom and the head top is flat.

If you happen to have one of these minis, hold it upside down and tell me which way you like better.

Burt,
The silver piece is the sensor platform and should be on the underside of the ship.

I have both minis, and I think the CL is constructed correctly. Of course, that could be 20+ years of ingrained opinions, but that's my opinion nad I'm sticking to it... Rolling Eyes

So it is the sensor platform on the topside of the DN?

Unlike other fleets, each Hydran ship type (dreadnought, cruiser, destroyer et.c) was designed by a different guild, resulting in far more variation in appearance.
