Opening Salvo

This is propably the most powerful unit The Empire of the Blazing Sun (Dystopian Wars | Spartan Games) can take: Hachiman (Dreadnought type).
It has a huge output of Attack Dice (even more with the right card played at the right time) and can either shoot enemy Battleships into wrecks within one turn or board any vessel to take it out of play sportsmanlike.

Ichigo no Ôji - Humble Prince of Destruction and Stuff

I baptised this model "Ichigo no Ôji" (japanese for 'strawberry prince' - yes, really, no joke) or short just "inoji" (mumbling japanese for 'life')  for a humble touch, yet it totally is an understatement.

Inoji hasn't been the first model painted for my Blazing Sun force; yet it turned out to have the nicest paint job from all. Mainly because I needed a Dreadnought to balance my own fleet due to local meta playing and there's only one thing better in play than the Dreadnought: a fully painted Dreadnought.
