Love the lightsabre ‘ very kewl :-*

Lol… thought you might. He’s also one of my favourite conversions. Though I did drop him, snapped the original acrylic rod, then had to drill out the stub to fit a replacement. I did curse.  ::)

Lol. Indeed  ;D

I’ve now finished multiple pieces…..

Vadim, a Reiver with a light sabre, converted from a HF fantasy figure:



A squad of Close Combat Grimm, armed with pistols and a power axe:



Transportation Containers from OSHIROmodelterrain:



And various bits for the Grimm Task Force, including a power/comms/whatever unit made from a couple of OSHIROmodelterrain parts:



Three Portable Habitation Units made from OSHIROmodelterrain storage containers and a few Antenocitti parts:



And one of the Landers (a failed 3D print) used as a crash site marker:

That all looks excellent! I especially like the conversion with the lightsaber.

The Grymm are most excellent troops and really well painted, but it’s that strange horror of the Reivers which leaves me speechless  :o :o :o
Wow, man…those are great!

Thanks folks!  :D

…. strange horror of the Reivers …..

That’s great to hear. They are very much influenced by:
  • Serenity = Reavers
  • Ghosts of Mars = Infected Miners
  • Resident Evil: Extinction, etc  = Various

Plus, no doubt, a shed-load of other movie influences that I’ve forgotten about

I’ve now statted-up my two forces for a first game. It does look like there’s a lot of info on the cards but that’s only because I’ve copied over the special rules, etc to avoid having to look them up mid game.

Another great thread Steve. Always good to see a project from planning to completion.

As other have said recently, those Portable Habitation Units are excellent and very convincing.  8)

These are fantastic, and I agree that the Reivers are aces!  :D

Thanks for the explanation and stats! Serenity Reavers are a vastly underused thing in SF wargaming - the panic and horror hitting the population facing a Reaver attack are great moments in the show. Sadly a lot about them was never explained…why and how do they steer space ships etc. Your mixture of different sources also suits them fine. Brilliant enemy faction if you ask me. Great 👍!
