Return to post humanity: I suck at space hedgehogs

Greetings, Fellow commanders.

It's been a while.

A lot has happened since I last posted. (got our sovereignty back for one thing, last time I'll mention it promise)

I've had an educational but ultimately frustrating stint of playing as the Shaltari. An interesting force with many unique mechanics and nuances, ultimately the E10 pillow fistedness of the faction got the better of me, so I am returning to my original faction with renewed vigour, and fresh appreciation for all the beautiful E11 we have access to as proud post humans!

I've also grown better as a painter in that time, so I felt it was time my army was stripped and started anew, with a fresh colour scheme.

I've got some of updates to make retroactively it seems, I want to at least recount in summary my UKGE experience, but I wanted to start off by dropping both some pics of my Shaltari (currently up for sale) and go over the stripping process I begun today.

Dropfleet Commander: Admiral Beta Test Day

Greets fellow commanders! I have just returned from the admiral beta test in sunny Croydon! Was an absolute blast to finally get our hands on Dropfleet Commanders rules, let alone some swiftly cast up resin versions of the minis we're all waiting for.

The event had a huge turnout and the atmosphere was really jovial and excited. The Hawk guys had their swag stand set up as well, and well, in DZC terms, I've sorted out my poor AA coverage issue.

I'm such a tease.

Obviously I can't say much about the specifics of the rules, nor can I post statlines and the like, but I can give my honest impressions.

Click past the jump, and cut yourself a big old slice of hype cake.
