Another little 'bot

 Crooked Dice Robots 2 set includes a diminutive humanoid robot, suitable as a companion or tech support.

A very simple paint job - Army Painter Stone Golem followed by a wash with Citadel Nuln Oil.

Final crewman figure

 So, one of the crew for my Five Parsecs from Home has a religious background, and ended up receiving a shotgun from the weapons rolls.

Originally I was going to use one of the Frostgrave Wizards bodies, but decided that one of the female Wizards II bodies would make a good base. The arms are from the Stargrave Crew II set.

I wanted something different for the head, and noticed that the Great Escape Games Gunfighters II figures had compatible heads.

She is checking the skies for opposing force drones or snipers  on a vantage point.



Pistol armed Cannon Fodder

 Another figure for Stargrave/Five Parsecs from Home.

This figure uses the arms from the Wargames Atlantic upgrade sprue and a Stargrave Crew head on a Cannon Fodder body.


This is a very dynamic pose.

Another rifle armed crew member

This is the second of the two crew who originate from the same planet. They both were evacuated with Infantry Laser Rifles which come in handy when the crew need some longer range firepower.

The figure except the head again are from the Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder set. This one has a head from the Ghost Archipelago Sailor sprue.


There is still some filling and details to add.

Another member of the crew

Another member of the crew for Stargrave and Five Parsecs from Home. 

The body and arms are from the Stargrave Crew II set, the head from the Trooper set. I have still to choose the hair extension to finish this figure. The gun has been smoothed off, and plastic strip and a sight from the Anvil Phase Rifle sprue (now discontinued) added to the top.
There are still some filling and details to be added.

Another crewman

 Two of the crew I rolled up for the Five Parsecs from Home campaign have similar backgrounds, and I rolled up two identical weapons. So I decided that they were from the same world and would be dressed and equipped similarly.

Originally I wondered about using the Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder arms on Stargrave Crew bodies, but decided that I would try a vanilla Cannon Fodder figure but with a Stargrave Crew head.


There is still some filling and detailing to finish, before it joins the paint queue.



Heavy for a Stargrave/Five Parsecs Crew

 One of the characters I rolled up for a Five Parsecs From Home campaign is low-tech but armed with a "Shock Axe". So how would I represent that on the table?

I originally thought about using a Barbarian body with a two handed hammer, but thought that was a bit cliched.

I then had a look at the Ghost Archipelago Sailors, and thought one of them would look good.

The arms and the head come from the Barbarians set.

There is still some filling plus adding some details (and a scrap pistol).
I wonder about adding power cells for the hammer on the belt/sash.



Ship's Engineer for Stargrave and Five Parsecs

At SELWG I bought a box of the Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder figures.

They are boiler suit clad and come with a limited selection of weapons (lasguns and a support weapon).

I wondered how compatible they were with the Stargrave plastics (in the same way that the Great Escape Gunslingers are).

This figure is built from a Cannon Fodder body, two of the Stargrave Crew arms, and (inspired by a number of characters from the works of Miyazaki) a head from the Oathmark Human Infantry.
The mounting points for the arms are narrower (the body is slimmer overall than the Stargrave figures) so there isa slight overleapt the back.. The back panel will hide the Greenstuff/Milliput used to smooth the transition.

Stargrave Crew II - first build

 Here is the first figure built from the the new Stargrave Crew II box.

She is designed to be the nominal leader of the party for a Five Parsecs From Home campaign


More crew to follow.
