Babylon 5 ACTA: Hyperion Pulse Cruiser

 Remeber how I told that near the end of the ACTA lifespan, models where made for the various Hyperion variants, especially present in the Earth Alliance "early" list?

 

Well, this is one of those, the Pulse Cruiser.

 

A Raid level variant, this vessel focusses on the twin-linked pulse cannons, making away with the beam cannons.  So this makes it a nice close-in brawler, for as much as the venerable workhorses of the fleet are suited to that.  Think of them of a "light" version of the Nova Dreadnought, lighter surivability, less guns, but more agility.

 

The sculpt itself is the regular Hyperion where the control tower and the tubes at the botton of the central part have been removed, and instead a large disc, the pulse generator, rests on the top of the front section. 

 

And this vessel also means I obtained my goal of painting 5 points of raid up again for A Call to Arms.  I will use it in a Middle Age EA fleet as the Assault variant to distinguish it from the others in the list, and giving me a nice compact force as a result. 

 

Now to start preparations on scenery and such for the Warfleets battle day!
