Dystopian Wars Ning Jing Battlefleet Set - Celestian Empire Naval Miniatures

The Dystopian Wars Ning Jing Battlefleet Set is a collection of miniature naval vessels for the Celestian Empire faction within the Dystopian Wars tabletop wargame. This set allows players to field a complete battlefleet, representing the formidable naval power of the Empire, which is considered a global force following key historical victories. The models are designed for assembly and painting, offering hobbyists the opportunity to customise their fleet before engaging in strategic naval combat scenarios. The set contains a versatile Ning Jing Class Battleship, which can alternatively be constructed as a Yangtze Class Command Ship. It also includes two Jian Class Cruisers, each with multiple build options to represent Dao, Meru, or Wusong classes, and four Shanghai Class Frigates. Chinese vessels within the Empire's navy are known for their prow-mounted chemical flame cannons, called Huoqiang, and a preference for rocket battery salvos over traditional heavy guns. The crews are portrayed as highly trained, with frigates specializing in coordinated squadron attacks. The models capture the distinctive aesthetic of the faction's warships, which are a source of great pride and instrumental in border expansion. This battlefleet set is ideal for tabletop wargamers interested in the Dystopian Wars universe, particularly those collecting or playing the Celestian Empire faction. It provides a core force for naval engagements, with the mix of capital ships and support vessels allowing for varied tactical approaches. The hobby aspect of assembling and painting the unpainted miniatures adds a creative dimension, making it suitable for modellers as well as gamers. The set represents the numerical dominance of Chinese shipyards within the Empire's navy, designed to counter the elite vessels of rival factions like Japan.
