Making a start on Stargrave

[Cholly]

Hello fellow LAFers.
Quick intro, I’ve been a member here for 13 years and while I’ve had fits and starts of productivity and posted minis and bits the last time was 5 years ago! Now before Christmas I saw an article regarding Stargrave and though “ this is for me”. So when the Nickstarter began I jumped all in for the rules and 1 of each box of crew, mercenaries  and troopers. However, none of this will be arriving before early May and I wanted to start putting some figures together in preparation so, thanks to some trading on the bazaar (cheers vodkafan and Redorc), I pickd up a few Sprues, bits & bases and spent this afternoon making some crew.
Unfortunately I’m pc-less so using a phone which appears to not let me upload pics from Flickr but the links should take you to the pics if you’re interested-

Frostgrave, Bolt Action, Wargames Atlantic and GW bits used plus a GW Guard dog(?) and a reaper troll gunner cos I like ‘em.
Would love to know what others have planned or have already created and all c&c on my humble attempts are welcome and encouraged.

Interesting start... this looks like a true alien crew.... love the one with the tail.

[Seditiosus]

they look great. definitively better than the kits northstar is offering. more high tech sci-fi...

I couldn't figure out, where you used bolt action.... did you mean gates of antares? what is the main body of the second figure from?

Looking pretty cool! I hope You will share the painted photos as well!

[Cholly]

Cheers guys. Seditiosus, the second guy is wargames Atlantic Einherjar plus frostgrave demon head and tail and the 2 Hobbit chaps have a mix of German and usmc gear, gunned-up colts (usmc again) and commonwealth special forces heads. I’m looking forward to the Stargrave plastics for more bits to use and I like that retro look, sort of early 80’s b-movie sci-fi. Once painted I’ll post ‘em up here plus there’s more planned, next in line is a Gnoll with flamer

Cholly they look excellent. I especially like the tail on the trooper with horns and the mini gun toting big’un. I wish I had someone to play Stargrave with but sadly I doubt it’ll get taken up by my local club (big club but sadly only the biggest, branded games played). Which one of your creations is your favourite?

Great stuff @Cholly  some really characterful crew members.

@BALM - they will be releasing a free PDF of the solo rules in May.

Thargor you are not helping, if you keep up this level of helpfulness my wife may come and have a word with you

Cheers Thargor, cheers BALM. My fav is the Hobbit with goggles but the other Hobbit May have to undergo some surgery for a new head tomorrow plus I may try and replicate the drum fed pistol to match them both up.

I do not know where you are located but we tend to have a game exchange with a few clubs within a 30 mile radius so we can play games we want.  Generally we work out meet ups either on a club night or someone will host a block in a smaller village hall.  You don't get to play the games as often but you do get the chance to play.  My local tends to do mostly board games so I do not get to bring out the measuring tape as much as I would like.
