Luftwaffer

Here are the squadrons so that the Luftwaffer will rule the sky, along with the airships!

The very colourful ones will make up the flying circus to go with the red airships.

The white fliers are the scouts, we need to see what is out there!

This should make about 10 or 12 squadrons.

Reinforcements for the Emperor!

Ok this post is self explanatory here are 7 airships for the might Prussian Empire.

More air power for the Prussian Empire

 That brings my Airship Fleet up to 2xSky Fortresses, 3 Gewittewolke Bombers and 6 Pflicht Scoutships.

A home for the Red Baron's Flying Circus.....

Just look at the firepower!

Soon to be finished will be 7 Tiny Flyer squadrons (5 bases each) and 3 Tiny Flyer Scout bases.  That will bring the Luftwaffer up to about 11 Squadrons.....The Emperor will rule the sky!!!

Dystopian War Scenery

Here is a selection of Dystopian Wars scenery that I have painted for my collection and PAW, ready for the big game being held at PAW13, Plymouth 2nd and 3rd February 2013!

If you are about come and join in.

Firstly the Prussian Empire bunker an imposing model and a great miniature to paint, looks pretty solid and in game terms packs a great punch!!

Prussian Bunker

Here are two sets of the Industrial packs, one of mine and one belonging to PAW.  They are based on 2mm MDF which has just been sprayed black and the dry brushed dark grey to represent a tarmac/concrete setting.

Crane and small warehouse  

Large warehouse

 The Lighthouse is actually part of the 'Uncharted Seas' range but looks great in Dystopian and fits in very well, as does the 'City Walls and Tower' sets, pictures of them later on.

Lighthouse

 Theses EotBS weapons towers belong to Al, a PAW member who I paint for.  As always lovely sculptured models and a pleasure to paint.

The towers come with a selection of four different weapons fits all of which enhance your game.

Dystopian Wars Prussian's Heavy Hitter

The biggest hitter in the Prussian High Seas Fleet a dreadnought by the name of                                KMS Frederick The Great

KMS Frederick The Great

The KMS Frederick The Great brings the largest amount of firepower of any ship in the High Seas Fleet and will be a nobel Flag Ship for the High Admiral

The KMS BERLIN brings firepower and it's own air wing to add a hard punch to High Seas Fleet

Dystopian Wars Prussian Reinforcements

To compete in the arms race started by Al's Blazing Suns I have added some airships to my Prussian Fleet.

The large airship is covered in weapons and packs a mighty punch, whilst underneath lays an open bomb bay ready to rain destruction down on all the Empire's enemies!

The escorts, ready co cover the major air assets of the fleet. Armed with four main guns and a bomb bay.

All three are a nice addition to my Prussians.

Prussian Empire in Action

At the beginning of the year I had my first game of Dystopian Wars again Nigel's British. Enjoyed the game and learnt some hard lessons with the loss of many brave Prussian sailors!

As you can guess I lost!!!

Two bombers heading out to sea to punish the snooty Brits!

Torpedo Bombers

Cruisers

The most impressive Zeppelin Aircraft Carrier, pride of the Prussian Fleet!

Having learnt the lessons from this unsuccessful encounter I went on to beat Al's Japanese fleet. You can see pictures of his ships on this blog, I paint them....

Dystopian Wars Prussian Luftwaffer!

The pride of the Prussian Luftwaffer an Imperial Airship carrier.

It is an awesome model and a pleasure to paint.

It has seen the field of battle one and although the Prussians came second the carrier made it through ok.

The airship.

The flight deck.

Dystopian Wars

Just a couple of pictures of the Airwing all together. My next purchase will be a pack of fighter tokens, a pack of bombers and 2 of the new scout ship zeppelins. That should keep my fly boys happy!!

Dystopian Wars

The completed Zeppelin Carrier in all it's glory, well not quite I have lost the flying stand poles, so need to find some replacements! LOL

It is a truly impressive model though.

Dystopian Wars

Finally some of my own Dystopian Wars fleet..............the first of the Prussian Empire to be photographed. Here we have the freshly painted Zeppelin and the carrier top that goes with it

When I first bought these models I thought that they would be quite difficult to paint but they were surprisingly easy. As with most of my painting projects these were simply drybrushed.

Both parts were sprayed black and then various shades of grey for the zeppelin until the desired effect is achieved. Then it is simply a case of picking out the details, such as the weapon nodules, engines and national colours on the tail fin.

The carrier top was equally easy with a drybrush of the decking and superstructure in appropriate colours and then picking out the airplanes and weapons. I must admit I do like the results, even if I do say so myself!!
