Power Projections Minis

[Darkhstarr]

Received my Traveller Imperial Fleet Box 1 & Zhodani Fleet Box 1 today. Very nice & worth the wait.

Who did you order from? I placed an order ages ago, but have not received anything.

Ad Astra is shipping now and people who placed orders should get their minis sometime this week, if you ordered direct from Ad Astra.

I'm still waiting for mine, too.

 

[jfetters]

I beleive I did, but their website keeps generating errors every time I try to get to the Traveller minis site... I'll try a direct contact next.

That might be a good idea. Try going to the Ad Astra discussion forum here:

http://www.adastragames.com/discus.html

and post a message in the "Hey, Ken!" topic.

As the boards are down, probably not this instant. In any case, you might want to wait a couple more days; they only started shipping them out Friday.

Mine were waiting for me when I got home.....


<sigh>

That Plankwell sure is pretty. Too bad she was such a headache to make.

And what can one say about actually =holding= an Azhanti High Lightning miniature in one's hand?

 

[Darkhstarr]

I agree! Its something to actually hold an Azhanti High Lightning in one's hand. There was a time long before I finally got my hands on the deckplans where I had a campaign planned around a derelict AHL in the Beyond. Involved pirates (the players) vs. other pirates vs. some badguy pocket empire for control of the ship with Manax Darkhstarr & a few Imperial scouts as NPC's as the jokers in the decks. Could have lasted for months.

By and by. I ordered from Ad Astra. In fact it arrived to give a break from
typing up stuff for my Traveller game this weekend.

Mine came in last weekend. I started painting them up tonight and I got the Plankwell, the AHL and the two light cruisers more or less finished. All I need to do is finish the escorts.

I'll post a pic of the completed fleet when they're done.

Man, this is lame. The adastra ordering site (and forums) are down with no sign of coming up soon. I can't even tell if my login works to the site...

I am given to understand that the company that provides the servers for Ad Astra was hit with some kind of computer viral attack and crashed. I don't know when or how long it'll take for them to get up and running again.

If you'd like to have look at a quick paint job on the new Ad Astra miniatures for Traveller, go here:

for a look at mine.

Very Nice, Oz!

Also, I was able to get a message with the guy who runs the site, and they are still working through the glitches. I was able to order from him, however, as he was very accommodating. Thumbs up and a class act.

 

[jfetters]

Received mine in the UPS today! WooHoo!

This is cool! I finally own a traveller miniature of a capital ship!

As a FYI, both the Ad Astra site and forums are back up.
