My Crews...
« on: August 31, 2017, 10:21:23 PM »
Well, Rogue Stars is becoming a favourite of mine. I bought the "official" figures from North Star (I just love them... Almost all of them!)
I've come up with my own universe for our campaign which is about to start. So far, I've painted two crews :

First, a bunch of space pirates. They're all former operatives for the Galactic Government, but have been outlawed by their superiors. At this moment, they are trying to find some proves of their innocence. But things are slow. So, in the meantime, they're hiding in a small system, smuggling all kind of materials from one planet to the other, or occasionnaly, in and out of the system...
I give you Captain Giffen and the crew of the Blue Mantis :


Second, a Star Patrol. They're a team of the Golden Eagle Enforcement Security company. Their lieutenant-commander is Lieutenant Rickman, a tough as rock officier who's so rotten to the very core it's a wonder he's still breathing normally... The rest of the patrol are fine police enforcers who don't know that Rickman is in fact trying to cover up for the Law Enforcement company's plot to overthrow the Galaxy's Government. At the moment, they're on the trail of some dangerous criminals smuggling stuff in a small system nearby aboard an old ship called the Blue Mantis. Rickman has his orders from the GEES : he needs to find and secure a data-node in possession of the captain of the Blue Mantis and destroy it. What's on this data-node? Rickman doesn't know and doesn't care. All he needs to know is where to find that fragging Captain Giffen and finish him off...


A third crew is coming (and maybe a fourth one, I'm still not sure...) : A terrible crime lord and his lackeys...

Beautiful work! Lovely to see some paint jobs that do those (mostly) fantastic sculpts justice. Very impressed with the unity in the groups too - you've managed to make some eclectic minis really look like they belong in a group.

Really nice paint jobs!  The blue fellow with the little animal on his shoulder is my favorite.   :)

To tell you the truth, he and the lady at his side are almost the main reasons I picked up the game!

Thank you all for the compliments... :o

Very nice! I really like the way the common paint job ties together the star patrol figure.
