There's Klingon's on the Starboard Bow...

I apologise in advance for the following video...

Not so long ago I was introduced to a game system called Star Trek Attack Wing and while using my friends extensive model collection I decided upon Klingons as my chosen faction. The system itself allows you to mix and match between races quite a lot but I decided to stick with just the one.

On the advice of several people I bought two of the starter sets and an additional ship with the purchase of a second additional ship occurring pretty soon afterwards. Despite having a few games spread over the next few weeks it kind of became one of those game systems that I just forgot about as I was focussed on two other game systems primarily (Malifaux and Warzone Resurrection) with the occasional dip into a third and fourth (Warmachine and Deadzone). I was recently reminded of the system for a quick game (again using some-one else's stuff as my case was full of Warzone Dark Legion at the time) and remembered how enjoyable it was and subsequently was offered some-ones small Klingon fleet at a bargain price...it was crammed into a couple of bags and needed sorting but beggars can't be choosers as they say and I promptly stuck them in a box and forgot about them until circumstances that I'll come to in a bit meant I couldn't really do anything particularly constructive that I had planned...

...to the bag of Klingons then...

The gentlemen I acquired them from had apparently already started to re-paint several of them as they have a darker green base colour on them but that's not a problem as I was planning on a re-paint anyway and there was no loss of detail as far as I can tell.

So as for my fledgling fleet it now consists of 3 Vor'cha (only two are pictured as the other is in my un-opened 2nd starter set), 2 Negh'var, 1 D7, 1 K'tinga, 1 Raptor and 1 K'vort as well as the cards that they come with and all the relevant tokens.

Now this is unlikely to become one of my primary systems and I'm not going to spend a great deal of time with it as to be fair it's only really got a look-in now as I was half way through doing an unboxing article on one of the new updated Warzone Resurrection starter sets and ran out of glue but it's something that will make an enjoyable change of pace every now and again. I used to enjoy Battlefleet Gothic and this game is far simpler to pick up and is far better balanced (though that's not difficult in Battlefleet Gothics case) and locally the only other two 'spaceship' games are the Star Wars equivalent to Attack Wing which has (imho) a lot less variety of units and Firestorm Armada which (as regular blog readers will know) I consider to be one of the worst games ever created.

Now I need to pick a simple but effective colour scheme and my (admittedly half arsed) research into Klingons has led me to believe that my primary colour choices are green, light green, dark green or grey...or possibly a greeny grey...

Now I either needed to find somewhere that sold super-glue at three o'clock in the morning or get some painting or photography done instead and then as my camera went flat I decided to turn this set of events into a blog article and then go to sleep...hopefully when this article appears on the internet Monday afternoon I'll have a charged camera and some super-glue but if the way this evening has been going continues it's more likely that my camera has blown up and I've glued my fingers together...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
