Description

The first Hypatia Class vessel produced was the prototype named The Prometheus. This ship was stolen by the Commonwealth Agent Helsinki Markov. Despite a desperate hunt, The Prometheus was never recovered. Despite this setback, Hypatia Class Generator ships were already in production by that point and the first production ship of the class, The Hypatia, was fitted out ready for service.

Now several years on from the Markov scandal, the Hypatia class has established itself as one of the most versatile ships available to the Enlightened. Not only does it carry significant firepower but the ultra-efficient engines and superconductors allow it to also operate three specially overcharged generators. This gives the Generator Ship and its fleet a huge amount of options.

The support ships that escort Hypatia Class vessels and other large ships fill some often more specialist roles. The Plinius Support Carrier carries dozens of Scythe Drones and can launch them from hydraulic ramps. This allows the Plinius to partially submerge when the ramps are closed making it very difficult to see and target. Built around the same hull as the Plinius are a number of other Cruisers. The Quintilian bombardment cruiser mounts heavy rockets that it can launch at distant targets before returning below the waves. The Tacitus Assault Cruiser favours two hardpoints for turrets, most often Particle Beamers. The Claudius Merchantman is designed with extra hull space and is the backbone of Enlightened logistics, the ingenious engineers still managing to squeeze in a number of torpedo launchers to protect them from pirates and other hostiles.

While these Cruisers are able to lurk just below the surface the Diogenese and Praxilla Class Submarines are able to operate at significant depths. These large Automata operate under a number of pre-programmed subroutines and are effective at hunting down and destroying enemy vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are miniatures used for in tabletop games?

Miniatures are small, detailed models used in tabletop games to represent characters, creatures, and scenery. They enhance the visual experience and aid in gameplay by providing a physical representation of game elements.

How do I paint my miniatures?

Painting miniatures involves several steps: priming the miniature with a base coat, applying base colors, adding details with fine brushes, and finishing with a protective sealant. Many hobbyists use acrylic paints and invest in quality brushes for the best results. You can pick some up from our Paints Section

What materials are miniatures typically made from?

Miniatures are commonly made from plastic, resin, or metal. Each material has its own advantages; plastic is lightweight and affordable, resin captures fine details well, and metal miniatures are durable and have a classic feel.

How can I start collecting miniatures?

Start by choosing a game or genre that interests you. Purchase a starter set or a few miniatures to begin with, and gradually expand your collection. Joining local gaming groups or online communities can provide valuable advice and support.

Where can I buy miniatures?

Miniatures can be purchased from Here. As well as from Hobby shops like our Gaming Centre, or at Conventions, or Games Workshop

What are some tips for assembling miniatures?

Use a hobby knife or clippers to carefully remove pieces from sprues. Dry fit parts before gluing to ensure proper alignment, and use a plastic or super glue appropriate for the material. Allow glued parts to fully dry before handling. All of these can be found Here

Can miniatures be used in different games?

While some miniatures are specific to certain games, many can be used across different tabletop games and RPGs, especially if they fit the theme or setting. Check the scale and style to ensure compatibility.

How should I store and transport my miniatures?

Store miniatures in a cool, dry place, ideally in a protective case with individual compartments to prevent damage. When transporting, use foam trays or padded bags to cushion the miniatures and keep them secure.

Are there any beginner-friendly miniature painting tutorials?

Yes, there are many beginner-friendly tutorials available online. Websites, YouTube channels, and hobby blogs often provide step-by-step guides and videos to help newcomers learn painting techniques and improve their skills.
