New build video. This was put together just for a bit of fun at the end of the StackaRack kickstarter, using some 'spare' 3D printed prototypes and bits from the Maelstrom's Edge terrain sprues.

I almost bought a copy of the Stargrave rule book on a whim. Seeing your squad makes me want to go pick it up. Nice work.

Thanks! Happy to inspire someone!

On a vaguely related note, it's possible I own too many miniatures... Just spent an hour looking for one of the two robot dog miniatures I know I own. Just when I was about to give up, I found one of them exactly where it should have been (and the first place I looked)...

Yeah, took me a few runs and some re-orientation to get this lot to print properly. Kept getting halfway through and then coming off the build plate, at which point the printer is essentially just waving about spraying molten filament everywhere.

This is why you don't just start it running and go to bed, folks...

A rather more ambitious print than I have attempted previously. And, as my first roll of filament ran out mid-print, a handy opportunity to compare the quality of the new roll... Needs a fair bit of cleanup, and will probably wind up as a wreck in a piece of terrain, but was a fun experiment.

Awesome new terrain (and thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the robodog!).

Second Stargrave crew assembled and ready for paint. Mostly built from Maelstrom's Edge miniatures, with a couple of resin ring-ins.




Captain, 1st mate and Doggo. The Captain is a Maelstrom's Edge Nimbus battlesuit, with the head from a Karist Heavy Weapon trooper. His close combat weapon is a cut down lightsaber blade from a star wars figure. Doggo is from Artel W, and the space dwarf Mate is from Victoria Miniatures.




Troopers, built from slightly modified Epirian Scarecrows. The left arm is replaced with a shin piece from another Scarecrow kit and an added blade from a Karist knife. This was to give them a slightly bulkier appearance compared to the other bots. Heads are from the Remnant Militus kit, which comes with a whole slew of different helmet designs.




Burner and Sniper. More modified Scarecrows. The burner has a shoulder mounted 'pistol' which started life as an underslung grenade launcher on an Epirian Handler arm, and the same left arm conversion as the standard Troopers. The Sniper uses the sniper rifle arms from the Captain's Nimbus kit - the kit comes with both options, so this was a handy way to make use of them both. I used a different head from the Militus sprue to accentuate his more specialised role.




Hacker and Slicer. Also modified scarecrows, with a more solid, industrial-looking head from the Militus kit. Pistol hands are taken from Epirian Handlers, and the Slicer has a slightly more literal 'pick' option in the form of a cutting torch made from Scarecrow flamethrower and Broken glue pistol.




Now to get some paint on.

Apparently Plast Craft Games are out of business... so I took the opportunity to nab a bunch of kitbash fodder on clearance from The Combat Company. Time to flesh out my neo-western terrain collection for Maelstrom's Edge.

That's too bad. I have some really nice stuff from Plast Craft that I use for Bushido.

Is that a new M.Edge kit, or from some other company? Momma Drones are always nice. Could be like a tactical droid in the Federation army.

Keen to see your efforts with the Hornet! It’s an interesting kit that I’d like to use as a flyer for a grim dark universe but not without conversion work.
