• Dystopian Wars Russian Coalition

    17 January 2015 /

    Having got the bug for Dystopian Wars again after working out a colour scheme for my Ottoman Fleet, I have been looking for a ‘major faction’ fleet for my next project. I really like the Empire of the Rising Sun but as Pete already has these I thought I would look at the Russian Coalition. Without knowing all the fluff that goes with them I thought that if I went with a Black Sea fleet this would tie in with my Ottoman fleet.

So I’m going to set myself something of a belated New Year challenge for 2015 to try and do some weekly updates. Nothing to challenging to start with, just a few pictures of what is on my desk, what I’m working on any anything else that takes my fancy. I’m going to call it my ‘Weekly Waffle’ and try and stick to weekly updates, probably at some point over the weekend. As well as these weekly updates…
