Stargrave Crew

Product Information

The Cat is a speedy pathfinder specialist soldier as he’s got moves (and is prone to wander off, like a cat). This just leaves Rimmer and we still have 7 soldier slots remaining. As a hologram Rimmer exists only as lines of code and in several episodes we see a great number of Rimmers all at once, perhaps most memorably on Rimmerworld. This is why the last 7 soldiers are all, unforgivably, Arnold Rimmer.

The answer to that is easy. Use whatever miniatures you have. That said, many of us want to expand our ranges or choose the closest miniatures that match the rules. As such, it certainly won’t hurt to know what creatures and aliens are in this book. In this post, I am going to go over that with you. You saw this in the earlier table above. Gang-members, low-level criminals and cheap bodyguards. Basically low level muscle and rough people who live in areas where fights are likely. The sad truth is that I now write games faster than I paint miniatures for games! That's because writing games falls into the more protected 'work time' while painting generally falls into the scarcer 'relax time'. That said, at long last, I have finished my Time Lord Stargrave Crew!Heroes, rogues and psychic space wizards are only one part of the Stargrave setting. There is also plenty of room for the dregs of a decrepit mining ship trying to stay alive while bumbling around the void from accident to accident. The crew of Red Dwarf are as iconic as any entry here. Besides Stargrave’s eminently enjoyable tabletop gameplay, one problem persists: it can’t square its frenetic fighting with its roleplaying potential. I grabbed a few of the images that they showed to share with you. This post includes pictures of the Plastic Sprues for Stargrave Crew Miniatures and another sample picture of the built minis. If you are like me, what interested me the most about the preview images is the plastic sprues. What do they look like? What can I make with the Stargrave Crew plastic frames?

GW cultist, Stargrave Trooper, GW Poxwalker, Stargrave Trooper, GW GSC Magos, Stargrave Trooper, GW GSC What you choose for your Captain dictates some of their attributes and the skills that they may choose. Your First Mate also gets one of these classes. That said, the classes do not have to be the same. This way you can have a Rogue team up with a Veteran (that could be Han Solo and Chewbacca). Perhaps you want to pair a Tekker with a Robotics Expert or Cyborg. You can do that too. Name a more iconic duo than the roguish smuggler captain and his huge, hairy first mate who pulls the arms off people who beat him at boardgames. Yes, it’s Han Solo and Chewbacca. Is stargrave basically a stand alone game system a bit like warriors of erewhon? In case you've not played Frostgrave, the fantasy predecessor to Stargrave, Stargrave is a minis agnostic skirmish game. There are official minis, including 3 plastic box sets of PYO [pose your own] figures. The new plastics are compatible with the older Frostgrave and Ghost Archipelago plastics. You can play one-off games but the fun in both systems is a campaign. In Frostgrave, only the Wizard gained Exp, and the Apprentice was basically an inferior copy of the Wizard. In Stargrave, you choose a Captain and First Mate; they can have the same Speciality, or different ones, and they each can gain experience. The Captain rolls to activate Powers normally, and the First Mate at a penalty. (It's a bit more detailed than that, but that will do for now.) Old Bones #3 is in the final stages of production. This one is basically an all Frostgrave& Ghost Archipelago issue. Actually, Old Bones #4 is not running far behind!I was enraptured with the crazy hodge-podge of sci-fi trappings, only to be disappointed at how little they really mattered. Yes the game isn’t onlya re-skin of Frostgrave, but one must question how much its thematic change really matters. Human sized scavengers of an alien race. Their skin gives them chameleon like abilities to blend into the environment. A table showing the Creatures and NPC miniatures that you can encounter in Stargrave. What if I don’t have miniatures for these Stargrave creatures? If you don’t have all of the creature miniatures for Stargrave, don’t sweat it. In the last paragraph before the Encounter table, Joseph McCullough encourages you to make your on encounter table.
