Strange Aquanef sighted at Malta Conference


My agents have reported that secret bilateral discussions were held this week between the Knights of St John and a shadowy European envoy this week.

Meeting in an undisclosed location on the small Mediterranean Isle, nefarious agreements were no doubt made and undermining plots hatched. Rumours of Anarchist participation also persist. All that is known is that shortly afterwards, this never before seen submersible was seen close offshore. Despite attempts to the prevent it, the negatives were delivered to our representatives in Geneva yesterday.

What secret deals have been made? Have the Knights taken possession of some new technical marvel to help fight off the Turks? And if so, who built it and are there more?


Co-Modelled by Vanvlak and Ogrefencer - the guys had a get together this week in Valetta. Have your luck gents!

Vanvlak unveils his latest works

That madman Vanmullikan has reveilled his latest Nef works! Typically, he has written some excellent background to go with them too:
.

First there is the Slava, lead ship of her class, this hopelessly obsolete hulk was given by the Russian Emperor to the Knights when they left Russia to return to Malta in 1883. She is used as a training ship by the knights, and the younger generations have propelled her into all too many sticky situations....


A Bordeaux class, one of two used by pirate-members of the Grand Congregation of Sky Pirates. This is the Warlock.


.
.
The other pirate Bordeaux! The Esmeralde, captained by a disgruntled French royalist.

Well Done V! Up to your usual standard of excellence! I like the Slava in particular because she is such a different design. (Note that these two miniatures are produced by Wessex Games, rather than Brigade Models)

Nikola Cottoner joins Knights of Malta

The mysterous Knights of Malta have revealed their latest acquisition- the Land Ironclad Nikola Cottoner. No doubt fuelled by the recent aggression in Arabia by their mortal enemies, the Turks, this beast greatly increases the land power of the Knights.


Specialist Engineer and designer John says "Nikola Cottoner will be my 2nd largest tank. A big forward-firing gun, and a couple of gun ports to either side - an easy dodge for adding cannon! "

Good job V! (Actually he made the Nikola quite awhile ago, but it hadnt been published here before....)

An exploration of debauchery, vice and other reasons to be a man!
