Scrapjacks: Rogue robot

 Some of the ships you are contracted to salvage are not quite as dead as they seem. Various hostiles lurk in the dark.

The rigger has encountered a large robot, which seems intent on integrating him into the control system.

This is a Deathship One Drekyl from North Star.
Simple paint job: Citadel Corax White spray undercoat, Citadel Mephiston Red eye, Citadel Warpstone Glow for the front panel and Citadel Nuln Oil wash.
And Vallejo London Grey on the poky thing.

Scrapjacks crew

 Here are the crew preparing to enter their first  MHU, YardDog in the lead.






Scrapjacks: Torch

 There are plenty of things that need opening up, and the Torch and his wrecking bar (or det-cord) will get them open.

Anvil Industries Bio-hazard body, Astronaut head and Stargrave arms. The wrecking bar is brass rod with Evergreen tube for insulation.






Scrapjacks crew: Patch

 Patch is there to put things back together, mechanical or medical.

Arms, holster and pouches from the Stargrave Crew set.





Scrapjacks crew: YardDog

 The YardDog is the heavy of the crew, armed with a Riot Gun (and stun baton).

Anvil Industries Female Astronaut with the helmet from the G11 armed Male Astronaut set.

The arms and spare shells are from the Stargrave Mercenaries II set.






Scrapjacks crew: Rigger

 So, having actually read the character load outs for the Quick Start ScrapJacks rules, I started to build some.

First up, the Rigger. Armed with a pistol and a knife, the rigger is there to scan and hack stuff

The body and helmet iare from the Anvil Male Astronaut with the H&K G11 set). The arms are from the Stargrave Crew set. The portable computer (for hacking) is also a Stargrave item.

More painted astronauts

 Here are the first two Scrapjacks inspired figures painted.













Some more astronauts using Anvil and Stargrave bodies

 This figure uses the Anvil Industries Biohazard body and arms, an HK416 SOPMOD rifle and the Anvil Industries Spheroidal Helmet



This figure uses the body from the Stargrave Mercenaries II set and arms I think are from the Crew II set. Again an Anvil Spheroidal helmet ties them together. It does look a bit too big really, for the next one I might try drilling the neck hole out a bit.

Again, the air tank is the second one on the Crew sprue, it is smaller but suits the smaller stature of the figure.

Four of the astronauts together.

Another Astronaut

 Following on from the first figure inspired by Scrapjacks, here is a second one.

This is based on one of the Anvil Industries Biohazard figures using the Spheroidal helmets and a pair of arms from the Stargrave Crew set.

Frostgrave Knight for Oathmark

 As I was looking for the Anvil Industries' Brodie Helmets for the Heavy Infantry, I found some other Anvil heads, the Sallet ones.

The neck sockets need opening up to take the Anvil necks.
They are a bit late in style compared to the Oathmark figures but there is a Sallet helmet on the Frostgrave Knight sprue.

The sallet heads do suit the Frostgrave figures more than the Fireforge ones.
