Starship Size Comparison

By popular demand! Well, Desert Scribe suggested it, and I liked the idea, so here it is: a quick comparison of ships from the four finished* fleets in my collection. Some folks are familiar with the classic Galactic Knights (GK) ships produced by Monday Knight Productions, while others have experience with excellent vessels from Ravenstar Studios (RS), but not necessarily both on the same table. Here’s how they look side by side.

The green ships on the left are part of the Entomolian Imperial Fleet (EIF) from the GK line. These ships are metal. I always liked their design, and green is a good color for them. In Sunder the Stars (StS) they represent the "Union of Queens".

Next, we have the white ships with blue and silver markings available from Ravenstar Studios. These ships are resin. They are the viking spacefleet of the Star Wolves in StS.

The gray triangles are from the Terran Federation of the GK line. These ships are metal. They fill in for the Grand Terran Imperium in StS.

And all the way on the right are gray ships with red and bronze markings from Ravenstar Studios. These ships are resin. They are more "classic BSG" than their other offerings. They represent the High Lords of Hephaestus in StS.

Please keep in mind that the classifications given above are for what they are deployed as in Sunder the Stars, not necessarily the manufacturers' designations. Also, all ships are mounted on 40mm (1 ½”) square bases for use with 2” hexes or without any hexes, not the bases (if any) they were supplied with.

*Come on. Is a fleet ever really finished?
