Sci Fi realms and collections

Almost as varied as historical periods,I want to showcase rules and minis for the various universes of sci-fi I game.  So, in no particular order:

Silent Death

This is the 'old' I.C.E., now Metal express universe of dogfights in space.  I stumbled upon it in its 2.0 version over 20 years ago.  There are about a dozen supplements for background and additional ships.

I have only played with four opponents over time, but each was impressed with the combat system. 
Resources for the game can be fond here:

Now for some pretty photos of some of the toys. There are literally over 100 choices of ship. I have more varieties of fighters to paint, and looking for these reminded me that there is some unfinished business here.




Thunderbird.
 The Lance Electra, my sentimental favorite. No flash.
 So nice, same model, different lighting. With Flash.
 Kosmos, one of the smaller models.


 Monday Knight   Rules, miniatures.

There are newer fleet style space ship games,  but the latest version of Galactic Knights isn't certainly fun, reasonably entertaining and won't break the bank.  Set in a galaxy neighborhood that includes five spacefaring races and the possibility of splinter groups within the factions. 

The ships of the Aquarian Empire

Carrier, Destroyer, Cruiser, Escort ship.
 Star Bombers


Screaming Yelow Zonkers squadron.

I could not resist painting the sensor spheres as eyes.

 

 
 
Galactic map.
 
 


This is just the Terran sector,  although there are 4 races as gate crashers in the fluff.  The Terran,  Avarians, Aquarian, Carnivores and Entomolian  each view for dominance. 

  Terran ships.  From left to right: two destroyers, destroyer leader, destroyer, armored pursuit ship, cruiser, three star bombers. 

Stargrave:

A chance to go where no one has gone before....and scavenge?

Lots of fun and interesting choices!
I have played Silent Death back when 1st edition came out. Just once, sadly. Our mutual buddy Mike Moore recently gave me his box(minis minis) and I have a good number of Battlestar Galactica Colonial and Cylon fighters and bombers.
They’re one inch ships by Studio Bergstrom.
