Some WIP shots of what I am working on right now...
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/4/16/354047_md-Battlefleet%20Gothic.jpg)
Apocalypse Class Battleship, A regal pain to build, but when done in the green scheme, I think it will be rather sharp.
Dominator Class Cruiser, Finished but for the stand, currently borrowing another cruisers for photos.
Armageddon Class Battle-cruiser, Like all the plastic cruiser kits it almost fell together. Paint wise I am thinking a white base with brown going to yellow/ocher with a sepia wash.

Ah I've been thinking about doing my next set of imps in a yellow brown scheme, definetaly looking forward to seeing how yours come out!

Looks like you have quite the task force brewing! A friend of mine once used a brown scheme on the IN ships he used in his SM fleet. You can see what they looked like in this pic:

What needs to be painted so far are the Apocalypse Class Battleship and the Armageddon Class Battle-cruiser.
As it sits my fleet consists of 3 Sword Class escorts, a Dauntless Class (Torpedo) Light Cruiser, A Lunar Class Cruiser, A Dictator Class Cruiser, A Dominator Class Cruiser, The Armageddon Class Battle-cruiser, and the Apocalypse Class Battleship.
Pending additions to the fleet are 3 Firestorm Class Escorts, and a Dauntless Class (Lance) Light Cruiser. Pending means I am ordering them Friday...:)
I am thinking that this fleet may be made up of bits and bobs of survivors from different sectors that have fallen to Chaos and have been assigned to this fleet, hence the different paint schemes.

Nice, this would make a good Bastion fleet, there were tons of shattered divisions near the end of the 13th and constant streams of reinforcements. I would probably try to tie your new ships in with some of your older ones as you get more. A group of Cobras for example could be painted in a green scheme and partnered with the Dictator in your fluff, the Firestorms and lance Dauntless are another obvious (to me) pairing. Food for thought :D.
-
Oooohhh... Do the Firestorms and Dauntless in the same brown/yellow as the Armageddon, and you get 3 fleets whittled down and merged into one. Plus the torpedo Dauntless has a different colored prow makes it a lone survivor of a separate squadron...
Andrew, you are a genius.

Here are some more shots of the Apocalypse and the Armageddon, much closer to being finished...

Looking good! I like your color combo on the Armageddon; the blue and white colors on the prow work very well with the brown colors you used on the hull. I also like how the upside-down weapons batteries on the battle cruiser look; it gives the ship a beefier appearance.

Wait... They're upside down... Oh man :P

No worries! Like I said, I think the look works well for a battlecruiser 8).
