Firestorm Armada - Sorylian Flat top

Firestorm Armada is a new space based miniatures game that pits giant spaceships against one another. Currently I am building a fleet of Sorylian ships. Here I present the second largest ship in the Sorylian fleet. The Carrier.



Of all the initial races I perfer the Sorylian carrier design most. It has the most in common with wet-navy carriers and is filled with little details like hanger bay doors.
It also reminds me of my favorite Anime, Space Battleship Yamato, and the logic defying carriers of that show.

I painted this ship the same way as the earlier ships in the fleet. An overall coat of Tamiya Intermediate Blue. Highlighting was acomplished with (gw) Space wolf gray. The yellow is (gw) bubonic brown highlighted with (GW) Bleached bone.

I used some left over decals from a 1/350 scale carrier cut down to size.
Also added were a small handful of GHQ f-14 tomcats (Or you could call them vf-1 Valkyries)





View from below showing some of the detail and hanger doors located there.




Overall a fun ship and one of the reasons I picked the Sorylians as my starting fleet.



Enjoy!
