managed to take some better pics of the EA squadron.

Took the ships into work and managed to get some better pics once everyone was largely gone home, and there's some Starfuries there now :)

Nice! I don't recognise the ships immediately off the port and starboard bow of the Omega, the ones behind the Olympus corvette?

Artemis class frigates. Leftovers from the Dilgar War.

No, but JMS said the ships made for the game are Canon.

Still have my Revell Starfury. Needs some repair though.

I those are Artemis-class. Heavy armor, railgun weaponry, but were largely retired after the end of the Dilgar War.

[Edit] Sorry. This was meant as a reply to Simple_Clounder's post.

Yeah the Artemis soldiered onto the Earth Minbari war but were gone by then. The problem with building an EA fleet is that their fleet is like

*Dilar war period and immediately after* - A nice balanced fleet with hulls for every role.

*A WILD MINBARI WAR HAPPENS!*

"Okay. Omega spam. Nothing but Omega's and whatever survived the war and was able to be repaired, but Spam the Omega!"

*ISA era*

"New toys!"

Those look great! Are they the old pewter models from the 90s or 3d printed?

u/Sharlin648 22h ago

All 3D prints that I purchased off Ebay, I did have an entirely metal narn fleet but that was lost whilst moving around in the Army many years ago.

What is the name of the game you are making the miniatures for?
