Last night I picked up the latest two miniatures from Agents of Gaming for use
with the Babylon 5 Wars game. As many of you know, I will be using these
mini's with the EFSB rules instead. The two ships are the Narn assault cruiser
and the Centauri Heavy Cruiser. Over all both of these mini's are of good
quality and ones I would buy again.

The Centauri heavy cruiser is another large heavy mini that requires two
stands to support it. It is about two inches wide and 3.5 inches long counting
the tail boom. The primary hull comes in two parts separated down the center
the length of the ship. There are also a number of small parts for the tail,
guns and fins. The fit of the pieces is much better then the prior release
(the Narn heavy cruiser). The level of detail is very high. There is very
little in the way of flash or mold marks. The center joint will require some
work to insure a clean line down the center of the ship. This model will make
a fine center piece for a Centauri fleet.

The Narn assault cruiser is a medium size mini for this line. It sits on a
single stand and is about 2.75 inches long. The level of detail is ok, but
given how little this ship is seen on screen, it is understandable that there
is not more detail. The fit of the pieces is the best of any mini in this
line. There is very little in the way of flash or mold marks on this mini.
Very little work need to be done for assembly. Now, if someone could come up
with a painting guide, because stills of this ship are hard to come by.

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but it didn't come back to me and my other
posts this morning did.

I saw one of these last night during a B5Ws session. Cherry mini! The only
grip I had was about the turrets. Not that they were bad. It's just that I
wished that they had made turrets of that quality for the Omega!

If your really devious or just don't care for B5 ship figs. Take the T'Loth
and throw out the middle section (or throw it in your bits box). Know base the
to remaing sections (after gluing on the engines) and... TA DA! You've got TWO
DN sized ships! Not a very original idea... I heard it on this list for the
T'Loth Micromachine.
