Enlightened - Kepler Light Carrier

For the Enlighted faction of Dystopian Wars, the Kepler Light carrier can get aircraft where you need it on the high seas. It is an official "counts as" Plinius Support carrier in the current edition of the rules, until the newer model comes out. I painted the four that I have and as squadrons can be one to three ships, there is variety in the amount of squadrons I can put on the field of battle.


I modified the paint scheme used on the Diogenes Torpedo SubIt was painted with a black primer, rough drybrushed with dollarstore Craftsmart gunmetal, drybrushed with dollarstore Silver. Wood decks painted Craftsmart Coca Bean and drybrushed Decoart yellow. Metal then lightly drybrushed with Privateer Press Radiant Platinum. For the WW1 dazzle camouflage I used Craftsmart Teal Sea and Craftsmart Sailing Sky. The bronze parts were painted PP Rhulic Gold and entire model washed with GW Nuln Oil. Cygnar Yellow used on turret ends and engine funnels painted PP Necrotite Green and same paint drybrushed on caterpillar propellers.


This ship has the wavelurker ability, allowing it choose at the start of its move to travel under other ships and floating objects. In the rules it could remain submerged, reducing its attacks to those with the torpedo trait and making it harder to be damaged. Hence the acrylic template and removable top for the ship to put in the middle of it. It does mean that it cannot use its seeker rockets though not launch its four aircraft tokens.
