Title: 15mm Star Mogul Slavage Crew - So Far
Post by: MrHarold on July 25, 2010, 04:32:49 AM: Hello!

Here are some picture of my Star Mogul Salvage crew in 15mm with their first Salvage Bot.

I have a big order coming in from GZG and some more stuff I'm working on, but this is what I have so far!

I've been a big fan of Star Mogul for some time, and recently decided to build a crew in 15mm as well.

What are you using for the Salvage bot? That mini doesn't look familar!

Do you base yours on coins?

Post by: MrHarold on July 25, 2010, 07:50:06 AM: Yep... that's a mech warrior mini... otherwise I base all my 15mm minis on pennies... i have a big order from GZG coming in, I'm looking forward to the explorer veh.

My buddy and I are going to be making more equipment table and etc for star mogul... I'll post them up when we're done!

Post by: Mr. Peabody on July 25, 2010, 04:52:29 PM: Brilliant! Hadn't even thought of using my 15's for Star Mogul! Of course! Just got two of the lovely little Light Crawler with Pickup Bed (http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/ttc1404.jpg) from Khurasan.

More inspiration. :)

SNAP: Finally bought the Star Mogul rules. 'Bout time! o_o

Yep, I just got the Crawler as well. It's a fantastic little vehicle. I'm going to be using that as my 'Salvage dog'.

Post by: MrHarold on July 26, 2010, 05:34:18 PM: Thanks, the buildings are GZG... they come as separate walls and roofs. Very fun to put together and paint. http://www.groundzerogames.co.uk/store1/commerce.cgi?product=SG15B&exact_match=on&cart_id=2336305.15961

Post by: Criamon on July 26, 2010, 10:51:11 PM: Great idea use the mechwarrior prepainted miniatures :-*, I have some mechs in a deep box unused. ;)
Title: Re: 15mm Star Mogul Slavage Crew - So Far
Post by: Mr. Peabody on September 03, 2010, 03:13:17 AM: Ok, I would love to hear some updates on this thread... ::)
I will admit I have managed to get zip done in the last month and a bit and that the beautiful summer weather is my only excuse. But I intend to put the excellent toys I have collected for this project to the front of the work-bench queue and make a big 15mm minis & terrain push over the next few weeks.

More suitable bits, pieces and a nice new salvage truck arrived in the mail today. More stuff is on the way.... A stash of those MechWarrior Clix industrial units to use as Demo-bots was found and pillaged!

So much cool lead & plastic potential can not be denied for any longer.

Meanwhile I would love to see what folks have chosen to use for their 15mm HADES suit figures.

Supervike, I have a question or two to post up at the official Star Mogul / AFG forum, are you still a Mod there?

Cheers!

Post by: Mr. Peabody on September 05, 2010, 06:25:28 PM: Trundling along. I have cobbled together a spreadsheet for my Salvage Company that folks might find useful when building their companies.
It automatically tracks Unit costs as well as individuals, and it calculates deployment cost as well.
Currently it is set up for Management, 3 Units, a Vehicle and a Mekk, with a provision for a flying unit and an Arachnid Platform.
Simple stuff, I'm no spreadsheet wizard, but if it makes the process easier for anyone I'm happy to share it!

PM for a copy.

Post by: Commander Vyper on September 05, 2010, 06:47:54 PM: Khurasan are about to release some nice crew (spacers), (spotted them on Dropship Horizon):

Also another company with some halo inspired goodies too, I feel my CMG troopers are going to get some more reinforcements.

Post by: Wolfslord on September 06, 2010, 07:07:25 AM: I can't remember the company, but they had this awesome two space crew members (chick with plasma shotgun, alien hellboy-like with grenade launcher). Does someone know who sculpted them ?

I want them to be released and these new ones from Khurasan too ;)

Post by: Krede77 on January 12, 2011, 11:20:30 AM: Cheers. everybody
I am new to this forum, though I have been in the Hobby On/off since the early 90'ies.

I would like to start up some sort of sci fi campaign with a few of my old gaming buddy's.
The inspiration being (of cause) the classic Aliens film, and games such as the fallout Mass effect series.

My friends are not real "table top" gamers, but have so far been playing Blood bowl and Descent happily enough, that I thought a gentle "transaction" might be worth a shot.
As everybody are especially fond of the "between games" part(like the team management in Blood Bowl), I was considering Necomunda as a start for some home-brew rules, but changed my mind when I came across this thread.

The setting and concept of star mogul seems just about perfect for what I want to run, Not able to wait until the free "salvage team" rules are available, I ordered a set of the Star mogul rules I found for sale on the internet, which arrived today. Since these rules are not that easy to come by, I purchased the "Alien Evolution", and "distant worlds" expansions As i had the chance.

Now... Flipping through the books, It seems that I could use a bit more campaign stuff... are there any more expansions out there?.. or do anybody know of some solid house rules to ad more to the campaign side of the game ? :)

Best regards
Christian
