Stargrave - Homokanis Trooper 5

Another of the Homokanis is now completed.

 


This one sports an autoblaster type weapon (basically an smg). but I wanted to use a more sci-fi style name for it.

 


Another great sculpt by Bob Naismith, 3d printed & mounted on another of the Mechanicus bases.

 


So with a long weekend about to occur, I will be having my first boardgaming opportunity with friends, so looking forward to that.

Stargrave - Homokanis Trooper #4

The next member of the Homokanis is now completed. Again, these are a series of stl figures I purchased from Bob Naismeith.

 


This one is wearing some sort of vision enchancement device.

 


So onto the next Homokanis figure!

Stargrave - Medium Scrap Heap

This weekend saw the completion of another of the scrap piles. This time it was the medium version

 


Again see the previous post for the Thingeverse file.

 


Here is the image with a figure for scale. Definately a Star Wars vibe to these, but they will certainly work for any sci-fi gaming.

 


Still working on the Homokanis figures & will be tackling the Large scrap pile for the next terrain piece too.

Stargrave - Homokanis Trooper #2 & Scatter Terrain

The best laid plans & all that. I had intended on getting the lawn mowed today, however Mother Nature had other plans. The addition of Wildfire Smoke blanketing the area from the BC fires just added to the fact I was meant to be indoors today.

 Here is the next Homokanis trooper I finished. Not sure if the images show it well, but this one sports an eye patch. Thus his Pack name will likely be Squint.

 


Another nice 3d printed model from Bob Naismith. So while painting this guy, I started thinking about Wolves & how they travel in packs. Then I thought perhaps I could make this crew a pack of Bounty Hunters. Thus I styled his 'bounty' ribbons hanging from his belt. So I will likely go back & repaint the other troopers 'ribbons' as well for consistency.

 


So while I've been working on the Homokanis, I spent the past week printing out some Space Scrap piles I had gotten on Thingeverse. These were made & posted there by ImperialTerrain.There are several, but for today's painting session I completed the smallest of them.

 


I was able to get 2 onto the print bed. Then it was off to painting & weathering them to look like the junk they now are. Of course I couldn't help but take the opportunity to throw a couple decals on them!

 


Here they are with a couple of figures for scale.

 


For the next week, I will be continuing to paint the Homokanis during my lunch breaks & likely reserve next Sunday to get another 1 or 2 of the Scrap piles done

Stargrave - This just in!

A happy moment collecting the mail today! My Stargrave mdf templates arrived from Nick & Northstar Miniatures!

These heavy duty templates are nicely printed with vibrant colours. Each set consists of a double sided flame template. Fire & Ice! I ordered 2 sets when they became available, which is why your seeing more than 1 template.

As well there are the 2 round templates, also double sided. 

 


An added bonus is some data & physicla loot tokens.

 


I know many of us, me included, have made up actual tokens to represent the various types, but where these will come in, is that once an item has been grabbed....we can swap it out & slide it under the base of the figure carrying it! 

 

 

Now to let my spurt of hobby happiness be spent at the paint table for lunch! Thanks for visiting!

Stargrave - Homokamis Trooper

Continuing on with the Homokanis 3d printed crew, here is the first trooper figure.

 


Each carries a good mix of melee & ranged weaponry to quickly quell all foes.

 


I will be continuing to paint these fellows up during my lunch hour hobby time.

Stargrave - Aroo Gah!

This weekend I started painting up the Homokanis figures I purchased from Bob Naismith's webstore. These are stl files for 3d printing.

 Who better to start with than the leader figure, whom I've named Aroo Gah!

 


 Armed with 2 hand blasters & also equipped with his auto weapon, he leads his crew is search of booty.

 


I was thinking to run them as a crew, but they will also be great for pirate mercenaries as they  will certainly stand out!
