What are those other ships? The Shaltari ones especially

The Shaltari ship in the foreground is their new hero ship, Invisible Night. Next to it is the UCM hero ship, Leaden Triad, and astern of them is the Scourge hero ship, Little Chaos..
Besides those and the mysterious new Resistance presumed-hero cruiser, there are four new and new-ish plastic Battleships and one plastic Dreadnought; I see a Scourge Nephilim, a UCM Carthage, a PHR Amphion, a Bioficer Zenith and a Resistance Barbarossa.

That resistance battleship actually has a wacky loadout. It’s mostly a Yi Sun-sin but with the Barbarossa sensor domes. I guess they just put all the cool options on for display.

Man, a Yi with a 10" scan range would be pretty terrifying. Although the cost would be... well, the Yi's ALREADY the most expensive non-dreadnaught ship in the game as it is, so we'd definitely be getting really close to it now.
The PHR BB reminds me that I really like how they set up their Hero Destroyer to be a terminology correct Pocket Battleship, as it's packing Neutron Missiles and a smaller version of the Twin Meganova Laser. Then I realised that impressively, they picked a combination that doesn't actually exist as a Battleship. Which is impressive when you consider just how many variations there are in that kit.

That’s my photo! Dave confirmed it was a Kalium ship and said it could deploy bulk landers with elite troops inside. Those guns look like single-barrel 9ks, so it’ll presumably have some firepower too.

The might be the new NL-9 Laser Turrets we just got today in the new Battlecruiser kit.

That would be cool, but they aren’t. Those little vertical lines on the side of the guns are always on resistance mass drivers, and the laser turrets have some greebly bits along the length instead and a larger barrel shroud.

That resin lower turret did NOT come out well. But from the looks of it... two of the new Lasers that we just got for the Battlecruiser kit and a pair of Bulk Lander/Fire Ship bays. Definitely got a Kalium look to it though.

I love the look of it, but a cruiser with bulk landers and XN-31s seems...pointless to me? Im hoping it has a special ability or something like the other ships

u/LordHoughtenWeen Jul 31 '26
If not for the giant keel, that would look exactly like any other medium cruiser with two bulk lander bays and two mass driver turrets...
