With my Dropfleet pledge in-hand, I've been tinkering around with possible paint schemes. So far, this one is my favorite, so I'm pushing forward with a complete Starter fleet to try out the game, and (eventually) run demos:

The base color involves a lot of air brushing to establish the basic tone and color variation, and then I followed it up with a whole bunch of detail work to pick out the weapons, spines, etc. Anybody have any thoughts? There's still time for revisions and tweaks.
