Yah. I'm currently waiting for my buddy to order miniatures for
himself from GW, so I can get in to the order and get some more of those
beautiful ships. The Empire gothic-style fleet is my European Union
Space
Fleet (since they regulate everything else, it's only appropriate that
the ships look about the same...), and Eldar are SCA (Sea of China
Alliance) Japanese ships. The minis that come with the game are very
nice, and I'm hoping they're available separately through GW mail order.
The nice thing about them (the ONLY nice thing about GW) is that if you
order minis they no longer produce, they will cast them for you, if they
still have the molds! I've bought two damaged copies of the game oover
time, so I have four each of the minis that come with it. The bad thing
is, two of the Eldar ships no longer have the sails (damaged when I
moved), but they still look very nice. I also have a very large force of
the other Gothic ships (about 60 of them, I think), making up a very
nice
space fleet, boosted by Micro Machines Star Destroyers and various
Klingon ships. The flagship of the fleet is naturally the ERTL Star
Destroyer.
