Stargrave - The Talons of Solubris

The backstory got my ideas flowing and the rules and the Crew NorthStar box arriving gave me chance to throw my first kitbashes together.

The Background

Captain Maughan Vars hates the technologically advanced evil Daktari Empire and their mercenary Pirate allies that eventually destroyed his homeworld Alpha-Solubris.
That said, after years of guerilla fighting he has realised that men don’t fight for causes any more. They fight for money and survival. The only way to get comfort in the sea of grief for his endangered race and his derelict planet is to snipe at Daktari power and Pirate dominance under the guise of contracted works for the last remaining pockets of civilization in the chaos.
That ship they scavenged last month happened to be a Daktari vessel. That outpost they raided for supplies last week happened to belong to a Daktari protectorate. This space station they are stealing from today is a known Pirate slave trading port. The war continues one contract and one heist at a time. The crew share the spoils, as Captain Vars gets his revenge one shrouded triumph after the next.
Oh and there’s his brother the first mate, but more on him once some paint goes down. ?

The captain has a pistol and pointing arm and body from the Les Grognards Wargames Atlantic range. I got a three body sprue from this set just for filling in the big annual wargames survey a couple of years ago. The head is from the NorthStar Stargrave crew box. The kepi slouch hat is from a Perry’s ACW sprue.

The First Mate is made from a Les Grognards body and the head and arms are from the Stargrave Crew NorthStar box.

There are also some additional items around the waist that are meant to denote the breathing filter, codebreaking “decks” that the First Mate has and the physical lock “picks” that the captain has.
