Taps Stargrave

[Spinal Tap]

Got the Stargrave book for Christmas and have started to put together a crew for, initially, solo adventures as I know no-one who has stated any interest in the game.

Whilst some of the crew will be from existing collections including a few old WOTC Star Wars figures, the project will let me paint up a few bits and pieces I have lying around.

Todays work is these three: Captain Carden-Loyd (Cyborg) from a 40K Kataphron with a head from, I think, Anvil Industry; A plant based Biomorph First Mate, Quercus Robur - no idea where the miniature is from; and a Trooper from the Wargames Atlantic Einherjar.

Agreed. That plant-man looks excellent.

Thank you chaps.

Regarding that miniature, I've now determined it came in Mantic's Star Saga kickstarter, which was gifted to me by a friend and has provided lots of models for other games over the past few years.

The paintjob was very simple: primed black, zenithal highlight in white, painted main body 50/50 mixed water and Cygor Brown Contrast paint, limbs/head with Camo Creed Contrast paint, details in purple.

Literally took less than 20 minutes from primed to finished.

So I painted another Alien from the spares box today, again a figure from Star Saga. He's equipped for Runner or Recruit but has currently been promoted to medic on the Bretonia 4.

I also painted up a batch of Einherjar Space Dwarfs so now have 6 completed. I intend to paint more of these in Star Trek like colours.

For now they will fit in on the Bretonia 4 until their ship, The Bedriften, is repaired (read I've got all the crew painted), then I will have 2 crews completed for if folks want to tear themselves away from 40K for an evening.

I also had a quick hunt through my greeblies box and painted some small parts for use as Physical loot (red) and Data (blue).

Now have plenty of figures and all the bits I need to start on the solo supplement Dead or Alive.

Painting wise I may occasionally add a few crew but I can now focus on building a new Frostgrave warband with the box of Burrows and Badgers miniatures my wife bought me for Christmas.


A long day painting and I'm back to work tomorrow but I'm where I wanted to be to game more and paint (a bit) less in 2022.

Very productive painting week has been had.

Quercus has Drone as a selected power so I painted up this little fella from a Genestealer sprue in the same colours.

Also sorted some old Genestealers and added a few more, painting 3 brown and 1 Red Brown to act as the Queen - will need more bugs for Quarantine 37 but have a few ideas for some of those scenarios involving visitors from other Times And Relative Dimensions In Space; Daleks and Cybermen from the Doctor Who Exterminate game.

Got most of them painted and have a few more on the painting table to finish; these will be done today ready to start playing Dead or Alive tomorrow.

Finally I painted a couple of Runners using old Star Saga figures and heads from Skitarii and Anvil Industry.

Practice test game of the solo Dead or Alive rules tried today, missed a few rules but got most of it down.

Killed the Mark, 8 players escaped the field, got the physical loot and the 2 who went OOA were both badly injured but healed with the profits of the loot.

Never rolled so high in my life, really, really lucky.

Shame this isn't the campaign for real; doubtless when I start the campaign proper the only thing I'll roll is 1's.

That is a lovely project. Certainly got me thinking about a few things for my Sci-Fi.

I do like this picture...
I told you to get going it is bath time! But daddy I don't want to get into the slimy bubbly blue stuff...
