Hard not to like those. They fly therefore they are.

These look like they would be fun to do, and I love the color/colour schemes of the late Victorian era, What rules do you use, and how complex are they? Were do you get the models?

Very cool.  I've debated getting into Aeronefs several times.

@ Terry37 - I believe he's getting them from Brigade Models.

Brigade Models, Imperial Skies, not at all complex.  8)

The Meeples & Miniatures podcast about Imperial Skies almost got me into this.

 :-bd Cool. Always fancied messing about with some Aeronefs
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Been wondering what the difference is between Aeronef & Imperial Skies?

I gather the background fluff is different even if the models are the same (no biggy, it's all fictional :D), but all I seem to be able to tell is the  Aeronef rules are much simpler but IS still plays quickly?

Aeronef is simpler, think of Imperial Skies as Nef 2.0. Some movement differences, fire is slightly more complex, the small ships and planes are different-ish.

I like em

I love those Spanish Aeronef models and how they're painted up on the webstore.

Thankfully I've already got a couple of new projects, so aren't tempted. One of them even uses miniatures and rules bought from Pendraken!  :o

I like these Will, very clean painting style.

I like the idea of these - but can't see it as a project my gaming group would be that up for. Which is not a bad thing considering the number of different games we already have!

NOOOOOOOOOO! I was looking at Brigade models Aeronefs in the early hours this morning. Thinking they are very nice, but I have loads to paint and no one to game with. Managed to convince myself I didn't need them, and then you do this !  :'( :'(

Thank you for the kind offer. I may well take you up on it when we are allowed to.
