ACH! DER NSL IS IN DER HAUS!!(ship's prefix)

Gee...I wonder what fleet everyone here collects..;-)

> Gee...I wonder what fleet everyone here collects..;-)

Well, I haven't picked up any Starships (yet...), but I am trying to come up
with an infantry company using NAC troopers (It is a four squad platoon (plus
command squad), four platoon company, so technically it isn't NAC...), and a
supporting Power Armor platoon. Otherwise, the lead aI have bought is old and
discontinued miniatures, like 25mm Battletech support personnel and
Mechwarriors, as well as Millenium's End and CyberPunk fig's (for the
irregulars/terrorists)  I might have a number of squads to use for recon

scenarios, perhaps a couple mercenary or irregular platoons...

Dirtside, well, I'll wait till I read the rules (I finally got a copy of the
rules.....)

I don't stay within one particular fleet design -- I buy starship
figures which look like they would make me want to paint them.

Gothic Imperial?

(aka, Space Fleet Imperial ships, though I've got a handful of Eldar as well.)

Actually, I have to agree with Rick Rutherford, I collect whatever looks good.
The thing that got me into miniatures wargaming in the first place was an
offhand purchase (and subsequent painting) of an Eldar Wraithship, just 'cause
it looked cool. This led to some looking into 40K background, then picking up
Squats in Epic, then buying bundles of Space Fleet minis wherever possible,
then (finally) hearing about Full
Thrust.  A roundabout whole quite enjoyable (if expensive) route. ^_^

I personally think that is the best way to purchase a fleet (or any other
gaming minis). If you don't like a particular mini, then it will make your
fleet look bad in your own mind as well as the fact that you probably won't do
as good a job painting as you don't like it in the first place. My fleet
looks really rag-tag because of all the different ship designs from FSE,
NAC, ESU, NSL, B5 & Star Wars Micro Machines and converted Epic Minis, but you
tie them together with a common paint scheme and there you have it. I
like the rag-tag look of my fleet as I gives it character and a feel of
being a mercenary fleet. Either getting whatever they can or only getting the
best money can buy, whatever the design.
