Really liking my Nickstarter. I only got the crew but will have to come back for the rest.

Thanks for the review, Kid_Kyoto. I would say that the kit really comes into its own when combined with others in the range (for Stargrave) as well as with FG and other sci-fi kits. This deals with the weapon options, as well as greater gubbins for panniers, grenades etc.

Thanks for sharing

I made my first foray into Stargrave over the past week:




Being from the SG Crew sprue, I decided to draw inspiration from Star Trek: TOS. The blue-grey tunics are for science, red/orange are security, and mustard yellow is for command. The models themselves are pretty chunky, and come with the same 2.5D issues that all ~grave models have (crisp and clean on the front and back, but indistinct details on the sides, a consequence of two-part molds). I went with the Crew box because I wanted to build specialists rather than dudes with guns (I have lot of those already). Sadly, there are only three arms not holding some sort of weapon.

Now showing more Samurai Marines, Bad Squiddo Amazons, and an Oldhammer Chaos Thug!

Painting total as of 3/28/2024: 21 plus a set of modular spaceship terrain

Painting total for 2023: 79 plus 28 Battlemechs and a Dragon-Balrog

Since you only bought a Crew box, it's unlikely you've seen the Mercenary head in question, but of the various heads included in that kit, that one head had v-shaped eyebrows instead of straight eyebrows, and I think it looks like Mark Lenard in "Balance of Terror". So I made a Commander Mark Lenard science officer with that head and a Crew body. Also, according to Memory Alpha, if Leonard Nimoy had not renewed his contract, they were going to cast Mark Lenard as his replacement.

I was torn during the Nickstarter. I wanted one of each box, but already have more than enough models. I was hoping to trade sprues with someone else in Japan, but it seems like I'm the only one here who backed the project.

That's unfortunate. Since a friend was backing for all the kits, I knew I could trade for a Troops sprue. One can only have four Specialists, and it may be wiser to take Codebreakers and Casecrackers over the combat specialists. Other than a Grenadier to drop smoke grenades. So I have my one Troops sprue for those combat specialists.

Just putting together a crew…the captain will be a VS comisar. After that, I have to look at the collection. I think some of my IGuard. The doggie, I got a few doggies from fantasy…ok dire wolves. I was considering making my recruits a few Chaos cultists…it’s the long coats.

While cleaning my hobby area I ran across a bunch of sprues from Gates of Antares. Warlord also makes alien heads to go on the concord bodies, so I might actually order some of those. Plus they have drones too, even a few types of drones for different roles.

Plus a refbot from dreadball, not sure of its use yet.

Sally 4th Otter head on GA Crew Body, SG Mercs painted as a red panda, and "Wash", SG Mercs dino head on GA Crew Body. Wash is for my Firefly-themed crew.



Three 1st ed Warzone metal minis and a Reaper Bones plastic. I think the two Dark legion figures are (Left 2 Right) a Necromutant, a Centurion. The Bauhaus Gunner might be a Venusian Ranger without the death's head helmet, and the Bones mini is Reggie Van Zandt, who can also be purchased in metal. The detail of the Bones mini is fuzzy, and I had to consult the Reaper webstore looking up the metal figure to make out some of the detail. Have not painted any of the newer Bones Black figures whose detail is better, even viewed in the package.

They certainly look colourful. If i could hazard some photo taking advice, though, you will get better shots if the light is behind you. From the shadow showing in the table top, the light source is behind and to the side of the models, so the side toward the camera is really shadowed.

Thanks. I'll keep it in mind for next time. Have the Rogue Star Pirate Captain and the two hooded Mystics from the Nickstarter on the table, but have not felt like painting this past week.

Your camera is also focusing on the backdrop rather than the models. Usually just tapping my screen a few times will get it to focus in the right spot.

Under the couch

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.

I really like those kitbashes! Maelstrom's Edge minis fit really well for Stargrave.

I was in my local shop and saw the book for sale so I grabbed it straight away. Hopeful that this means in a little while we'll have the crew minis available and I can pick those up too.

I'm not sure yet. I'm really just building stuff and having fun. I'll work out the details later.

My latest recruits are Eisenkern from Wargames Atlantic with heads from Star Wars Miniatures models from the mid 2000s.

Scotland, but nowhere near my rulebook

This is my current Stargrave crew. Still work in progress, but thought these mugshots would be fun.

A units bulletin

Be aware of the group known as "The Wellermen" recently seen operating in Imperial Research Station 37. The majority of the crew are a rarely encountered species known as "Orks", though they appear to be willing to recruit from a wide variety of worlds. Their current ship is registered as "The Billy 'o Tea" though this is certainly a false registration, as the Billy 'o Tea was a bulk Spacewhale Oil freighter lost with all hands 23 years ago rather than a light cargo ship of dubious provenance.

Crew mugshots and biographies are appended below. They are to be regarded as dangerous, more due to total lack of respect for laws rather than specific malice.



"Kaptin" Kash. A known smuggler and pirate. Armed with a highly customised weapon which combines the properties of a carbine and a shotgun, the Kaptin is known to conceal multiple additional firearms on his person



First mate Simeon Borch. Has made multiple cybernetic modifications to himself, and appears to view his body as a test bed for new technology



Known only as "The Bosun" this Ork generally accompanies the Kaptin into firefights and maintains discipline amongst the crew, often at the point of a gun



"The Red Gobbo" is a known revolutionary and agitator. His small size belies extreme ferocity in combat, especially when faced with victims of Hastian's Plague.



A reconditioned Crontyr Heavy Industries "Immortal Series 3000" combat automaton, this robot has renamed itself Dakkabot 3000. Prolonged exposure to the general lawlessness of the rest of the crew appears to have given it a number of personality quirks, including a predisposition to use its rapid fire weapon as a club. Also known for its battlecry of "++DAKKABOT LOVES YOU++"



Doc Atrocity. Known to have worked as a pitch side medic for a sports team until recently. His enthusiasm for experimental surgery has frequently lead the crew to recover from crippling injuries rather than face his operating table.



Haxxor T. Gibbon, a data thief wanted in multiple systems for his computer crimes, which generally result in vandalism rather than profit



"Shifty". Believed to be a deserter from the Barret Light 50th.



Koltrane, the crew's lock picking specialist. Generally more likely to pry things open rather than attempt to pick the locks themselves



Space Elf believed to have been rescued from Station 37. No known criminal record, answers to the name "Ben"



Crew's pet squig, generally tasked with keeping the ship clear of vermin. This is the last known photograph taken by police photodroid F/32
