Niðavellir Shipyard: November 2015

Niðavellir Shipyard

The Nidavellir Shipyard is a large UCM Shipyard hidden far away from any planetary system.
After the scattering of humans after the first Scourge attack many ships used their ftl drives and made an random Foldspace jump just to get away. Many of this ships found themselves alone in the dark, to close to a star or a black hole and perished but some made it to an empty place in space. And that’s how the Nidavellir belt was discovered. A collection of large rocks, asteroids in different sizes and collection of dust and sand. Exactly how this place come to be, far from any sun, placed in between systems is not known. It is believed it was created after an extremely unlikely collision of two larger celestial body, with no stronger gravity pull in the vicinity this collection of minerals and rocks have held together by their own combined pull of each other. The scatter of large rocks and the natural background radioactivity have created a hiding place. After the survivors made contact with the now formed UCM the area have been put to good use.

Named after the Norse mythology Nidavellir, the world of the dwarves, for its rich mineral and metal resources. Perfectly for foundries and a large shipyard complex.

This is the place to produce ships...

Shaltari Samurai, Dropzone Commander

Ive just finished these Samurai to my Shaltari. I am at the moment trying to switch over to ruin bases and this is my first atempt on the Shaltari forcera. Im not totaly happy with the result but it will do. The miniatures are basen on 25mm plastic bases to give me more area to apply basing material on and I think it looks better in that way.

And combined with my Ocelot walkers painted a week or so ago I got this.

Not the best picture Im afraid, bad lighting and mobile camera. Sorry for that.

Shaltari Ocelot Warstrider, Dropzone Commander

Newest addition to my Shaltaris, a pair of Ocelot Warstriders.

I really like the form and shape of these walkers, combined with my colour scheme it just screams aliens.
I have heard that they are not really worth the points any more and that's its better to get Caimans for the same roll but I dont care, I like their looks.
