Re: [FT] Progress report - sourcing "Centauri compatible" ships

Three miniatures that you may wish to consider for your fleets are from
ICE in the Silent Death Line. The Revenge, Bloodhawk and Eagle are all
winged ships in the Sentry and Vorchan style. The Bloodhawk is similar
in size to the AoG Sentry but with more weight, but the wings sweep in
the opposite direction. The Eagle in just a much bigger version of the
Bloodhawk with a wingspan close to a Vorchan. The Revenge is similar in
shape to the Vorchan body without the vertical wing.

I believe Tom Granvolds website has pictures of all these ships but I
seem to have misplaced the address. The RAFM website may have pictures
of these ships though as they produce the ships for ICE.

Other ships you may wish to look at are the Storm, Praying Mantis, Black
Widow and Seraph. All these would likely work with the ships you
selected to this point. If you really want a light carrier you could
look at the Aosho which for Silent Death is referred to as a Warhound.
The miniature is about 2.5" long and a little more than a 1" wide at the
widest point.

The other thing you could use for a gunboat or as fighters would be the
GF series Kantauri fighters. Two versions of these fighters exist and
they are basically very small Sentry fighters. A friend of mine refers
to them as finger nail clippings. 

I don't know whether this helps but these are all miniatures that I have
in my collection. I also have most of the ships you have listed below so
I thing it should would together.
