I've been working on my Ottomans for Dystopian Wars. I started a test scheme on a gunship and have finished the Dreadnaught and its gunship support.
Here they are sailing in formation

Here is the Dreadnaught by itself

And here is a picture of the sweet Ottoman turrets (definitely my favorite Dystopian turrets), the planes docked in their hangers, and the whitewashed decks I mentioned in my test scheme thread.

Looking good! I knew adding a wash to the lower hull would help. Is that Devlan Mud?
Can't wait to see these on the table!
-
Generally not a fan of earth tones, but what you've done with those really look great. Particularly love the dark blue windows contrasting with the lighter blue of the gun battery surrounds. Echoing Greg, looking forward to seeing them in person.
-
Thanks Mark. I've been on a kick with using brown recently and I've been liking it. I used the same brown on some Inifnity miniatures and it's a great neutral base for a sharp accent.

Greg, it's called Agrax Earthshade. But I think it's basically Devlan Mud.
-
I really like how they came out! You did a good job keeping the blue spots vibrant :).
Ahh, Devlan Mud..such a useful wash. What it is in technical terms is a brown-black wash; some browns, and therefore some brown washes, have some reddish hue to them. From the original GW wash range, the brown-red wash was Ogyrn Flesh, IIRC.

I've finished some more Ottoman ships. This completes my Ottoman collection (until I get the fleet box) and also marks the first time I've completed a full fleet for Dystopian Wars.
First is the Mizrak frigates

And the Avci destroyers (I realized now that I need to fix the gears that move the turrets)

The Zuhaf minelayers

And here is the fleet in it's entirety

Amazing stuff!
-
Thanks Dale!
It's been a really fun little experiment finding a place for the blue accent on all the different ships.
-
Looks good man. Maybe we can find some time to leave our Halo fleets in spacedock and play a little Dystopian Wars. I can probably match you ship-for-ship with my RoF. Would be cool to see both fleets on the table.

Thanks Greg.
That would be an interesting game. I could take the Sepratists so we don't have any alliance incidents. They are now distinct by being more about defense and board control compared to the Traditionalists.
With the new ORBAT I can field 860 points. With a pair of dreadnaughts I imagine it would turn into a serious brawl.
-
Great work! They look suspiciously like your Terrans.

Ha! Surprisingly Stephan, I don't think there is a single color besides seraphim sepia shade that is shared between the two fleets.
If you mean they look similar to my Terran's in pure, mean hearted sculduggery...you're probably right.
-
It must be the sepia making them look similar. I really like the effect on both fleets and the blue adds a nice pop. Yes, sculduggery.
-
The tan color is definitely similar. I used a medium tan on my Terrans that is highlighted up to a lighter tan. The Ottoman building structures were drybrushed bone over brown. So there are definitely similarities.
Nuclear genocide on the one hand and "laugh in the face of the Geneva convention" corrosive shells on the other...

Here is my final update for the time being. I've completed the SAS that work as squadron support for the dreadnaught and the monitors. Unfortunately I don't have the requisite 10 necessary for my local air support.
These were actually super fun to paint, there is a lot of depth because of those great big (pod-racer) engines.

I picked up the Ottoman fleet box and have gotten around to them after a few weeks of distraction.
Completed so far is the battleship

Woof!
-
Really nice work, mate.
-
Thanks a lot.
I have been looking at this battleship on my desk this week and realized that the deck took on a much more washed characteristic then the first ships (which is great because there is so much of it). I think I like it a bit more and am planning on going over my older ships again to enhance that characteristic.
-
Looks outstanding. I like the deck scheme, you did a really good job on that. Can't wait to see these on the table whenever you have time!
-
that's sick. great color scheme
-
I've gotten some more work done on this project recently. Added some cruisers and more minelayers. I also completed the SAS. I only have a few odds and ends left and this fleet will be complete. I'll post a picture of everything once I'm done.

-
I'll add these minefields here because they were purchased for this fleet. I only have a couple other models that can lay mines. I did not paint them to fit my Ottomans specifically though (with gold metal) because I still wanted them to be generic for scenario purposes.

Those look very nice! Where did you get them from?

Thanks! They came from Spartan. They sent them to me as a bonus because my halo ground order was so delayed.
-
Your Ottoman forces look great. REALLY like those mine templates. You did a superb job with the water effect.
-
Thanks!
All I have is another cruiser and a few frigates. Once it's all finished I'll take a fleet photo and decide if I want to add that funky walking airbase.
