Stargrave - The Lost Prospector Finale Prep

Tomorrow is the big day! The Finale of our current Stargrave Campaign where we finally discover where the Lost Prospector is!

So reading through the scenario, I needed to get together some figures...The Guardians of Light have been handled, so onto the next challenge, 25 cultists.

Ummmmm....

Looking through my figures available & debating whether to start making a bunch of Northstar Miniature Cult Sci-fi guys I stumbled upon this box.

 


Now that would cover 5 guys, but they are stated to be Pirate Troopers, meaning carbines for all. Sure we could just say they all had carbines, but starting to build a bunch of Northstar figues is beginning to look likely.

Then while looking through Facebook, a local fellow was selling a pile of these exact figures. Quickly responding, I snagged his 50 figures which he had painted.

Sorting through them, I found the 25 I would need & after getting washers attached to the bases, primed them all for me to repaint.

And its been hectic (just finished them a couple hours ago).

 


Using mostly Contrast paints throughout, although I always find areas that just regular acrylics work best.

 


Just did a behind shot on the first 5 figures to show how they look.

 





At this point, the astute among you will note that I had actually painted up 26....well thats certainly better than being short! And here is the whole group of them.

 


As thats a wrap on todays post, I did get the table set up for tomorrows game, so here is a teaser.

 


To represent the energy wall, I grabbed some more of the glow sticks from the dollar store which I've used in another scenario. The 22" long ones come 4 to a pack. The shorter 8" are 12 to a pack. Each beam is using 1 of each length.

 


Thanks for following along, busy now with food prep for tomorrows game.
