Title: Finally, some Imperial Submarines
Post by: Easy E on May 22, 2023, 11:56:03 am

Greetings,

About a decade ago, I created a game called Aquanautic Imperialis: Battle for the Depths.  The game was about submarines battles in the Warhammer 40K universe.  I made some MS Paint template for the game and used those to play a bit.

I had intended to sculpt up some submarines from Sculpey, as this was pre-3D printing became a thing.  I only got as far as the Ork subs in Sculpey.  Finally, on Thingiverse I found a Nemo Nautilus submarine I though had the right feel to look like Imperial ships.  After a few sizing attempts and prints I finally got it to what I wanted.  I then painted them up with speed paints and this is the result.

Here are the Imperial Subs versus some Ork subs.
