RE: [OT] Twilight Armada Miniatures

I'm not sure which boxed set your talking about, since I've only seen
the
boxed set that is in my possession. It is titled Noble Armada
Dreadnoughts:
Imperial Decados.

The two dreadnoughts enclosed, IMHO are good dreadnought sized vessels.
It
also has four 'Landers' which you could probably class as about Light
Cruiser sized.

BTW - Since when is discussing space miniatures Off Topic?

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but if you can find it cheap,
the
ships
from the Fading Suns: Noble Armada set aren't bad.  It comes with 16
ships
(two
each of eight different types).  They're roughly comparable in size to a
frigate
or destroyer-sized ship for FT, and have quite a bit of variety to their
styles.  I personally use them as merchant ships and/or system defense
cruisers.  The boxed set retails for $50, but if you can find it
cheaper,
it's
worth it (got mine in a closeout sale for $20)
