I gave the models a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade. I decided against painting the decks of the Attacker Class Frigates as these are very small models and the decking was quite fiddly to paint.
As you can see I have stuck three onto each wooden stick for ease of painting.
This is a very quick method of adding shadow and shade to the models.
Having painted the decks of the Kingdom of Britannia Tribal Class Cruisers.
I gave the models a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade.
The wash helps to add shade and shadow and emphasise the decking.
After giving the models in the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group their basecoat, I painted the decks of the battleship and the cruisers. For the decks I used Citadel Base: Zandri Dust.
I also painted the decks of the Tribal Class Cruisers.
I decided not to paint the decks of the frigates as I found the process too fiddly.

After undercoating the models from the Dystopian Wars Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group were given a basecoat of Citadel Base: Mechanicus Standard Grey.
Here is the Ruler Class Battleship.
It was quite challenging to paint within the superstructure.
Side view of the Ruler Class Battleship. It was mounted on an old blister pack.
The three Tribal Class Cruisers also got the same basecoat. I mounted these on paint pots.
So did the Attacker Class Frigates.
Lots of detail for such small models.
Next stage will be the decking.

They look like biplanes, but have elements of 1940 era fighters.
Not quite sure how I am going to paint them at this time.
In the box you also get two Doncaster Class Bombers.
I am not a fan of these models, or even the concept. They look like flying boats, but aren’t.
Some time ago I bought the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group

After cleaning the models, and putting them together I gave them a white undercoat.
These are the Attacker Class Frigates.
These are the Tribal Class Cruisers.
This is the Ruler Class Battleship.
The next stage for these models will be a grey basecoat.
The Dystopian Wars is a miniatures games from Spartan Games. I have discussed my thoughts on this game in an earlier blog post.
Having decided that the Prussian Air Fortress was a definite purchase, I realised that I would also need an opponent and looking at the boxed sets, I decided to go with the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group
In the box you get:
1 x Battleship
3 x Cruisers
9 x Frigates
2 x Bombers
10 x Resin Flying Tokens
2 x Acrylic Flight Stands
4 x A5 Token Sheets
Laminated Statistic Cards
This is how it looks from the marketing material, though this image includes the aircraft carrier which is not included in the Battle Group.
This is the resin you get in the box along with the metal bombers.
They are very clean castings.
