I've finished painting a couple of the GSF minis and thought I'd post some pix.

The Bjarlspire was originally going to just be a uniform gunmetal gray with the glowing blue spot on top and bottom, but I couldn't bring myself to do that, so I added a little bit of detail with the silver patterns on the side. I'm pretty happy with it.

The bomber vexed me big time. It's just a uniformly gray polygon, how hard can that be? Turns out it wasn't hard to paint, but it was hard to make something that uninteresting look good. I ended up with washing it all in a black coat to give it a kind of a stealth bomber look, and I think that, combined with the gold highlights, did the trick.

The Claw was originally going to be metal like in the official pic, but after painting two gray metal ships, I couldn't do it again, so I went for a more organic look. Getting the blending on the claw right was difficult, and I probably could have spent a lot more time and effort to get it better if I wanted, but I found a place I was satisfied with and moved on.
The other minis are in various states of unfinishedness at the moment. When I get more completed, I'll post more pix.
