British Aeronefs for Imperial Skies and extra terrain

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I looked for a thread for my British fleet, and realised I must have painted them before I joined the forum!

I already have a British Fleet, but after my last encounter with my own French fleet, I decided I needed reinforcements! I also bought some terrain, which is now under the brush and will appear here soon!
First out the dry dock, my third(!) Rawalpindi cruiser (this is a Colonial or Type II, basically a new sculpt with seperate front turret and lovely details like the sky light)


They don't have the mass of guns the french have, but they have more hull.


Badly misalligned the flag, oops!


She's a fine looking Nef

These are my latest batch, British heavy units and lots and lots of terrain.


Two Exeter class cruisers escorting an Agemmenmon class monitor


Love the gun design on the monitor, two downwards firing twin guns, genius


Deck view, the monitor also has deck guns, unlike their French counterparts


Bad day to be on patrol when you meet that face on!


They look bullish


Brigade also do some wonderful small scale scenary. They all fit on an A5 at the moment, but I am sure they will expand one day.


Village pack


Contains 20 buildings, which I based in groups to make streets or individually with larger gardens


They all have a 'street' side

 
The Arch of Maxentius


Just love it


Will have some backstory in my games, I'm sure


Three English churches, each pack comes with three naves and randomly assorted towers, which are interchangable.


Tried to scatter basing as gravestones


It slightly upset me at first that the porches were all on the 'wrong' side from the churches where I grew up, but then that's because all th churches were on the south end of those towns.


Now I want lichgates to scale!


Church, farm and a row of houses to show scale


Walled farmhouses, I added paper backing under the bases as these are single piece castings.


Top view


Useful terrain scatter too


Fort Boyard - part of French coastal defenses - popularised in the naughties by the game show.


It's quite a structure


Will be slightly less of a structure after that monitor finishes with it!


An archie tower (Ackack) and a sea fort (Sealand mehaps)


Had fun sculpting that base


Defending our shores


Or maybe this instilation?


Denge sound wall, love it


Only found the photos of the actual ground infrastructure plan after I finsihed basing, oh well!


Chatley Heath Semaphore tower, emergancy communications


One of a series that used to span the country


With attached house


A factory and a warehouse.


These are big castings for 2mm! Dark satanic mills?


Huge complexes

What rules do you use? Are these commercial aeronefs? Dawn you, you've made want to start a new "period " (genre?)
