I recently got my grubby mits on a BFG Imperial Fleet, as well as the Rulebook and BFG Armarda book. Flicking through the books, I notice that all the illistrations show massive plasma flares, thruster fire, whatever the smeg you want to call it, glowing brightly at the rear of every ship.

I've tried modeling this onto some of my ships. but I'm not too sure about it.

Here's one with:

Apologies for the poor photo quality. My camera is on the blink, so I'm having to make do with my gf's one

From what i can see it looks great. Very very good!

Pics are too bright so I can't really say anything. It looks like some blue... white-ish... thing.

But it sounds interesting so new pics would be very appreciated!

Looks good makes the model a bit more intresting.

Looks great!

Nice idea to add some more detail to the BFg minis

Great idea... but I must say, it almost seems like the color of the plasma flare and the color of the ship are a little too close to one another. At first glance, it could be part of the ship.

That is probably from the camera, however.

Cheers guys

I'l try and get some better pics up soon. In the meantime I've done the same on the rest of my fleet.

looks nice but wouldnt the plasma be streamed out seperately not towards one bunch?

Luftwaffel · July 4th, 2009, 23:08

Looks very nice!
How did you make it?

I did try that but the cotton wool was very unsecure, so I had to lean them towards the centre to get a more secure hold on the ship.

I used wads of cotton wool rolled into shape and secured in that shape with PVA
