Enlightened - Hunt for the Prometheus models

I have finished the Enlightened faction models in the Hunt for the Prometheus starter box for the Dystopian Wars game. The large ships are the Prometheus/Hypathia Generator ship and the Descartes Control ship. The three mid size ships are the Antarctica Superiority/Ulysses Vanguard cruisers. The nine small ships are Germain/Merian Drone frigates. The small ships are Finally it comes with faction specific SRS tokens (short range squadrons). They were painted the same as the Kepler light carrier.





Now onto the Spartan Games era air models I have.

Enlightened - Descartes Control Ship

The Dystopian Wars Enlightened Descartes control ship has excellent anti aircraft abilities as well as whales enhanced by mad science! They were painted the same as the Kepler light carrier.



Physeter constructs are made from cetacean creatures: whale, dolphin, porpoises. They can be deployed each turn to ram enemy ships as well as with a first turn ambush. Icky.


I did not glue the turrets so that they can be swapped out.

Enlightened - SRS tokens

SRS, or short range squadron, is the name used for small fighter groups of the different factions in Dystopian Wars. The fighters were painted with metals, a bit of Dwarf Bronze, and a wash of Nuln Oil. The water was painted with three colours of dollarstore blue.

Enlightened - Hypathia Generator Ship

The Enlightened faction's Hypathia Generator ship for Dystopian Wars is a great model. They were painted the same as the Kepler light carrier.



I didn't glue the turrets on in case they allow particle emitters. The generators are swappable with the current rules though.

Enlightened - Antarctica Superiority/Ulysses Vanguard Cruisers

The Antarctica Superiority cruiser for the Enlightened faction in Dystopian Wars, as made by Wayland Games/Warcradle. By swapping out its central turret heavy particle cannon to an SRS fighter launcher turns it into a Ulysses Vanguard cruiser. Either turreted particle beamer can be swapped out for pulse emitters for both classes of ship, but all ships in the squadron must be the same. They were painted the same as the Kepler light carrier.



By not gluing the central ball turret in place, it can be swapped out for the fighter SRS and be the Ulysses class cruiser. This class of ship also has the vanguard rule.

Enlightened - Germain/Merian Drone Frigates

The Germain/Merian drone frigate, for the Dystopian Wars Enlightened faction, is a workhorse ship with wavelurker, pack hunter, and good weapon systems. They are made by Wayland Games/Warcradle and they were painted the same as the Kepler light carrier. The first two pictures below are for the Germain.



If you do not glue the turret, you can swap it out for a pulse emitter and it turns into a Merian class frigate.

Enlightened - Cleomedes Cruisers

These are three Dystopian Wars Cleomedes cruisers made by Spartan Games for the Covenant of Antarctica faction. Under Wayland Games' third edition of the game, these ships are "count as" Stilleto cruisers. They were painted the same as the Kepler light carrier.




They are wave riders so the upper structure can be removed and used to indicate they are partially submerged.
