Sunder the Stars - More Printable Paper Planets!


Click on image for bigger picture!


Sunder the Stars - Color Planet Sheet No. 2
is now available on the Sunder the Stars Downloads Page. A ringed planet, 4 asteroids of different sizes, a rogue moon, and a comet. They are all for 2-inch hex mats. As it's a JPG file, it can be scaled to taste. No, not the one up there. The one HERE! Just print and cut out.

The rings surrounding the planet may be purely ornamental, or count as gas clouds, dust clouds, or rings of asteroids - whatever the scenario requires! The red arrows on the asteroids and rogue moon show which direction they're moving. Ships may not move through or occupy the same hex/space as the comet nucleus (see rules), though, unless the scenario states otherwise, the tail is the same as a dust cloud. The red triangle in the upper right-hand corner is to be cut out and used to show what direction the comet is moving.

Sunder the Stars - Printable Paper Planets!


Click on image for bigger picture!


Sunder the Stars - Color Planet Sheet No. 1
is now available on the Sunder the Stars Downloads Page. A total of 6 different planets to hide behind tactically screen your fleet. The planets are for 2-inch hex mats. As it's a JPG file, it can be scaled to taste. No, not the one up there. The one HERE! Just print and cut out.

Planets in StS block line of sight, so most attacks may not travel through any hex/space occupied by a planet. The exception is a drone (Dr) attack, which can use a friendly vessel as a forward observer for an indirect attack and only counts the terrain modifiers for the target ship's hex/space.

Clans of the Great Hunt Ship Cards!


Click on image for bigger picture!


12K pageviews! Thank you, all!

Clans of the Great Hunt
fleet cards are now available on the Sunder the Stars Downloads Page. A total of 18 different ship designs to build your fleet.

Clan ships are different from the rest of the fleets so far as all their weapons are forward facing. Good luck getting behind them, though, as they sacrificed a little bit of firepower on their larger ships for added speed. The lowest MP in their navy is 6.

Clans of the Great Hunt Fleet: DONE!*


Click on image for bigger picture!


This fleet was the last project finished in 2011.

1 Scout
6 Frigates
6 Destroyers
3 Medium Cruisers
1 Heavy Cruiser
1 Battle Cruiser
1 Battleship
2 Carriers
1 Dreadnought
1 Megadreadnought

That's 23 ships! All cast in lovely METAL!

And, yes, one player could command this entire fleet in a game of SUNDER THE STARS against other players with similarly sized fleets, though I usually use 17 ship fleets when I run StS at conventions. The fleet sheets for this faction should be on the StS site next week or the following. UPDATE: the fleet cards are up! -> http://ravenfeastsmeadhall.blogspot.com/2012/01/clans-of-great-hunt-ship-cards.html

Painting: Primed white, base color of vermillion red, then then a 1:2 black ink to water wash, followed by a drybrushing of vermillion red, and the details picked out with bright silver, bronze and metallic blue. The engine flares were white, a 1:2 blue ink wash and a light drybrush of white. The bases were primed black, and painted black, with the identification information in white. The entire figure was sealed with polyurethane clear gloss varnish, then a spray of clear matte.

The miniatures are from the Carnivoran Republic Star Forces, part of the Galactic Knights range produced by Monday Knight Productions.

The bases are 40mm square, 1/8" thick, beveled masonite from Renaissance Ink drilled and mounted with 1/8" brass rods.

Next project? Heck if I know!


* As much as any fleet is ever done.
