Stargrave Crews
« on: March 11, 2021, 09:02:15 PM »
Using the "leaked" crew generator table I made up a crew for Amhucdhubh, an independent freighter.

Most of the crew are Mantic's Deadzone Rebs.  The Captain (6th from left) is Another World Miniatures' Anjelika Steampunk Female Commissar.  The Sniper (3rd from left) is Manufaktura Miniatures' Post Apocalyptic Sniper.

The integral bases will be snipped off and replaced with round, clear acrylic, 25mm bases for gaming.

That's a salty-looking bunch.

Hmmm... should one call space crews "salty"?  What would the space-y equivalent be?

Anyway, they look tough.

Excellent!

I admit I'm looking forward to Stargrave and my Mantic Star Saga and Deadzone figures will most likely make up the bulk of the crew''s "alien" elements.

I have Battle Systems terrain and mats too so I should be all set for it when it arrives.

As a solo player (and aren't we all now), I will have to wait until September for the official Billy No Mates rules unless I carry over the solo stuff from Frostgrave, which should be possible.

Crusty, maybe? :D

That's a fun looking crew. A cool collection.

Thanks. It looks like I can build a Stargrave crew from the crew of the Lazy Susan, that I've just finished :)



The Lazy Susan was a free trader (aka smuggler) prior to the war. As well as their pre-war role of transporting valuable goods and passengers, the crew have more recently developed a specialisation in 'pre-emptive salvaging'. The captain is a Rogue, with a Veteran as first mate.

Most of the crew are Blue Moon spacemen, supplemented by figures from the Bombshell Counterblast range (available from West Wind in the UK - not cheap, but they fit in perfectly with the Blue Moon sculpts). I may modify the weapons on a couple of figures, but I'll worry about that once I've read the rules and worked out what skills and gear I want to assign to my captain and first mate.

Are Blue Moon spacemen Cobalt-1 or Cobalt 1 adjacent? Who carries the Cobalt -1 mercs these days? Bob Olley looks like he dropped the ones he had and Black Hat isn't selling minis online anymore.

Where they go?

Great looking crew Bullshott.

@mweaver - thanks.  I almost called their ship The Salty Dog, but changed it to Scottish Gaelic for The Black Pig.

@LiamFrostfang- thanks.

@pauld - thanks.  I think the Mantic terrain will work well for Stargrave (it's been sitting in the box unbuilt since the KS)  and I've just bought into a KS by Tinker Turf as well.

@Battle Brush Sigur - thanks.  I loved these Rebs from first seeing them on KS.

@Black Burt - thanks for that, I had seen the Crew pages, but not the rest ... time to flesh out the backstory for this crew I think.

Bridge Miniatures has the Cobalt stuff these days, along with the Shattered Isles fantasy stuff Black Hat used to sell too:
