Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 16hOh, for the AWACs - which really shouldn’t be getting into these situations😅 - we made it that it gives a +1 to firepower & a +1 for target locks for all friendlies on the board. And its cost depends on how many friendlies there are at the start of the game. 010
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 16hI didn’t change much at all since VoidFighter is wonderfully simple & cinematic. Some things we renamed, e.g. “shield” became “tough”, “targeting computer” became “wizzo” for 2-seaters. I’ll post a pic of the planes we have statted so far… 120

Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 18hT4: now 3🇯🇵on 1🇷🇺, the surviving Su-30, Zver, turns tail and accelerates out of there. Kage and Raiden pursue, Kage getting a lock just in case, until Zver is back across the border. Only 4 turns but it was extremely good fun and very cinematic. I cannot recommend #VoidFighter enough.👍 170
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 18hT3 shooting: “Too close for missiles, switching to guns” says Tora, and guns down Sokol. Grom damages Tora’s structure but 🇯🇵leader is still in the fight, though smoking. Raiden is about to gun down Zver at extremely close range but the Flanker does a Cobra & ends up behind the F-2! Kage guns Grom💀 150
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 19hT3 movement: 🇷🇺leader Sokol, damaged, plays bait & flies out east. Tora takes the bait, follows but can’t get a lock. Zver & Grom form up on Tora’s six😬. Kage rolls to port, lining up a shot on Grom. Kage rockets under the Sukhois & an Immelmann brings him up on *their* six😎. 140
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 19hShooting: Zero missiles Volk & downs him. Grom and Zver gun down Zero in return! Tora dodges Sokol’s guns with a Split-S manoeuvre, while Kage & Raiden fire on Sokol, damaging the Russian leader’s systems but not taking him out. Now 3-on-3 as we head into T3… Probably doesn’t look as tense as it is😆 150
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 20hT2: 🇷🇺 leader Sokol shows off his Su-30SM’s vectored thrust (turn before moving) and breaks with the rest of his unit, flying off to the left, trying to get a lock on 🇯🇵 leader Tora…and fails, ending up with Kage & Raiden getting locks on *him*! The other Su-30s stick together & get a lock on Zero… 130
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 20hThe F-2s start in Finger-Four formation, the four Sukhoi’s in Echelon. 🇷🇺 wins initiative in T1 but everyone just advances as far as possible, the F-2s engaging their afterburners to close with the bandits. No one’s in range yet but that’s going to change next turn!😬 140
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 20hFinished four Mitsubishi F-2s and four Su-30SMs so here goes the first game of #ScarletSunCrimsonStars A 1:700 dogfight using #VoidFighter rules. The scenario background is in images 3~5. A little ‘What if scenario’. 2656

Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Thanks. Good idea.👍 I’ll be using the #VoidFighter rules, by @caseyg.bsky.social They’re made for cinematic starfighter combat. I want a quick, dynamic game, and I like these rules. I hope to give it a try with these planes this weekend. 210
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ooooh! I like that. I have some colour-shift plants I could try.🤔 100
Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 05/10/2026On the work table right now. The mechs are ready for blue/red panels. The fighters are ready for decals. Wondering whether to do their canopies silver or gloss black?🤔 3674

It’s a little taller than the initial version and I’ve added a counterweight to the front and a boulder, all ready to lob at some unsuspecting unit. Orc archer for scale. 👍 0482

Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Not a whole lot of progress! Just getting the first coats on, & made an E-767 for scenarios. The F2s will be the typical two-tone blue, the Su-30SMs the naval grey scheme. Am I buying exactly the correct paints just to do some 1:700 scale aeroplanes? Hell no, I’m using what I’ve got. #voidfighter 0141
