I have so far not looked at kallistras star ships now however you have given me more things to buy and get around to painting in 5 years time. No planned purchases at present but I feel my resolve crumbling! Still got an NSL fleet to paint yet. But these would be a nice alternative for one of the other factions.<br /><br />Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-16019722891306090102013-09-19T08:18:38.464+01:002013-09-19T08:18:38.464+01:00Yet more damn fine work Colgar!
