First post in quite a while.

These folks run the Fisher King, a very out-dated Helios-class survey vessel that they have heavily adapted to try as best as possible to fly under the radar. Captain Liyana ('Gazelle') and First Mate Pascha the Runt work out of Pico Azul, a mining / farming commune on the planet of Josuelo, formerly under the yoke of the Jackson-Song corporation. As their only operating spacecraft capable of jump flight, the crew's primary role is to acquire (through any means necessary) the essential gear and equipment that the outpost needs to run atmo regulators, grow crops, and continue its independent existence.

That being said, several of the crew were heavily augmented before the Last War, and augs are expensive to maintain. Liyana also runs some salvage and bounty operations on the side - got to pick up those extra operating costs somewhere, right?

I hope you like them - they've been a bit of a labour of love. As always, I'd love any comments or criticism, positive or constructive. Thanks for reading!

Cool back story and very nicely painted.

Great paint work. What models did you use?

I think that they're great! Especially the little critter.

They're a little all over the place. From what I remember:
- The pilot with the helmet is from Colony 87
- The little turtle creature is an alien pet from Colony 87
- The gent with the shotgun is a conversion. The body is from a now-defunct line called Scavenge Skirmish Survive, and I think the head and right arm are Victoria Minis. There's some green stuff in there too.
- The sniper is Larkin from the old OOP Gaunt's Ghosts metals box, with a little green stuff work
- The kroot is made up mostly from the Farstalkers box
- Most of the other figures are from the Northstar Mercs II and Crew II sets, along with some other parts I happened to have in my bits box

Hope that helps!

Thank you! He's one of my favourites too. A 'guard dog' in-game, but he doesn't have to be a dog
