The Scourge of the skies

I like spaceships.

Hardly a shock -- as a baby I watched the moon landing live on t.v., I used to sit and watch Star Trek re-runs with my dad as a tyke, and I was nine years old when Star Wars exploded my brain.

Really, I never had a chance. I was always going to like spaceships. 

I have many, many miniature spaceship games. The most recent of those is Dropfleet Commander, the companion game to Dropship Commander. In both games I play the United Colonies of Mankind  and their arch enemies -- The Scourge.

The Scourge ships have an alien, organic look to them that I really like. Recently I had a chance to photograph some of my Scourge models on my friend Adam's gorgeous planet mat. 

Here is just a small part of my fleet...

Scourge corvettes

One of the innovative aspects of Dropfleet is that games are played out in orbit around a planet, rather than in the cold wastes of deep space. It makes for more visually striking and strategically challenging games.

Thanks for checking out my corner of the web. I'm painting and gaming a lot these days, so I have lots more to share!
