Stargrave - The Talons of Solubris

I was struggling with the fact that I really like the Solubrian droopy mouthed alien heads but knew that I didn’t want to buy an extra box just to get more of those heads. The warband needs to be coherent without the head binding them. The kepi slouch hats are from an extra purchase of a Perry Miniatures sprue, but I feel those 5 slouch hats will help bind the unit without needing to use the alien heads every time. The use of Skitarii robots will definitely make life easier, because I can use a paint scheme that ties their robes with the Captain’s great coat etc. I can use Skitarii Rangers for any lighter armoured soldier types and have plenty of options from my unbuilt Skitarii Kill Team sprues. There are also the Vanguard Skitarii heads that I can use for some of the heavier armoured soldier types as a distinction.

I will probably use a predominantly grey uniform, with yellow and red accent colours and pale blue trousers as a nod to confederate rebel style uniforms. Obviously my lovely, unfortunate, and homeless Solubrians never condoned or engaged in slavery even when they had a home world, so the uniform and rebellious nature are the only connection.
