Back in the Firestorm Armada mood

A very brief update: I finally settled on a working paint scheme for my RSN ships for Firestorm Armada.

The RSN are basically the state security/ waffen SS of the Dindrenzi Federation faction in FSA. Lethal, brutal, technologically advanced and highly effecient, their paint schemes tend towards very clean and ornate lines.

And no matter how many times I tried, I just couldn't make it look any good. So I went with a very Martian looking fleet, with that rusty red/orange base. I'm fairly satisfied with how it turned out, but as always, you never Really know how badly you need to touch up a model until you take and upload closeup pictures of them.

So here's a mini preview of what I've got so far:



Perhaps, fluffwise, I might call them a seccessionist Martian fleet, fighting for the Zenian League to escape the bloated bureaucracy of Terran oppression. Or I might just say fuckit, these ships look nice so who cares. But it's generally fun to have a story for your fleet/army/warband.
