I still didn't feel that I'd managed to produce a decent CR,so yet again I hit the build table.The Throne itself won't be getting replaced,as she looks suitably sarcophagus like,but this will be my Alpha Quad CR,armed with Ion Cannons in the wings,and a PH-1 in the nose. Without further ado,here's the build and paint of the Rorschach.

I've finally gotten around to painting up one of the new NCL models, as nice as it is,I still prefer the older type.

After giving it a bit of thought,I decided to try building an Aurora BC. At the moment I've only two pics,in which you can see,that at the moment,she's still very angular.Don't worry,that'll get blended in a bit. The bridge structure has been elongated slightly,to accomodate the three heavy photon launchers. Here's where I've got to at the moment.

Excellent work. Your ships are convincing me that the Omega modules should be my next purchase.

Unfortunately,I've still to track down the SSD's for them.I'm finding it extremely difficult to source Omega 3 here in the UK,I could buy it from ADB,but the postage cost is crippling to here.(No disrespect to the company is meant here).

There is a list of currently available Ship Cards in chapter 7 of the playtest rulebook (along with a couple of errata notes listed alongside certain entries).

Ok,so I made my own mind up,and repainted the narrow Throne as a Light Raider,(The Last Resort),so here are the two finalised ships.
