It's been Sprue since I started building plastic models in 1958. "Frame" is probably these young whippersnappers feeling rebellious, or trying to put on airs of sophistication.
(sigh) Broke down and bought a starter set, a PHR battlecrusier, and a Shaltari battlecruiser. Looking forward to building and painting them, but my wallet is crying.
@@Crabbok Oh, I agree. Cut my teeth on Spartan Games' Halo: Fleet Battles and haven't looked back. Now I'm dabbling in Star Wars Armada (X-Wing to follow whenever I get everything else done), Aeronautica Imperialis, World of Tanks, and individual model kits like Space Battleship Yamato small models, Macross VF-31s, and official Ace Combat Models. I kinda wanted to wait to get into this as well, but (shrugs) my birthday is a little over a week away and I wanted some new models to put together and prime while I take half the week off to catch up on painting some other models. My wallet is also crying because shipping is free after a certain price, so instead of just getting the starter to wet my appetite, I got the other two to get to the free shipping price. Maker above, I already have full lists of what fleets get what paint jobs and if I said how many for each faction, you'd call me crazy.

The resistance ships are kinda cool, I like the random stuff thrown together, reminds me of orks from 40k. UCM still cooler though.
I really like your paintjobs for the ships. The UCM ships look really clean, and those green/yellow ships look really good!
Thanks!
Love these videos! Can't wait to see a battle report eventually!
Excited to see more Dropfleet
Noooo your videos got me into Armada and Legion, one is making me consider Dropfleet!
The PHR and the Reesistance look the coolest to me
resistance is my favorite! bought 2 starters
Sprue is correct. All model car/plane/ship companies call them "sprues". Never heard the term "frame" used for these.
I really like the stickers with ship names.
Reisstance ships are reaally different from all others, I love them!
Theres my space hedgehogs! Hope youre ready to paint dots
Also for sure want to see some batreps!
As an armada player it would be interesting to see the similarities and differences between the two games
I'd like to see battle report for this!
The pic n mix Style of the resistance ships is cool. Have model half Lego!
The fleets definitely look pretty. Still need to give the rules a read.
I almost cut off the boxes too until I realized you are just supposed to slide them off.
Shaltari my favourite space hedgehogs.
I hope you paint these guys green. That seems like it would go best with Blue UCM, red Scourge and Yellow PHR

They're so much fun to assemble and paint!

If the sprue and frame thing was annoying, wait till your in gundam models and everyone calls the things “Runners”
Not sure how I feel about the resistance fleet just because it’s cobbled together from other ships
Please do more painting videos
Shaltari are busted, like crazy busted..
Glass cannon's, but u don't want to be on the receiving end..
First!
