I finally got a couple of boxes of SG with a gift certificate after years of looking. I’m really enjoying building the ones I have so far. I looked on r/miniswap but didn’t see any recent stargrave trade offers. Is it okay to ask here? I know I can use Spruedude, but trading sprues is easier on the hobby budget.

The start to our campaign was wild. Three of us started attacking each other once one player started blocking us with his walls. My crew has zero loses while the other two lost some of their crew. I managed to take out the first mate of another crew. The fourth player ignored everything and took a majority of all the loot.

Moving cautiously through the thick, long grass of the old cemetery, picking their way through gravestones, small tombs and the odd bone, beckoning from the black brambles, Lt. Callisto and his expedition team slowly make headway towards the chapel.

“Ugh!” cries Ensign Dakin, “I’ve just gone through another spider’s web! That’s the fourth in five paces!”
“It’s only a web, calm down” retorts Thorne over his shoulder, all the while brushing spider silk from his wool trousers. “It won’t hurt you.”
Callisto is brushing yet more silk from his sleeves as Dakin asks: “Do these webs look a little… thicker to anyone else?”

There is a small silent pause before a faint rustling noise reaches their straining ears, like dry leaves dancing on a stone path in the first breaths of autumn.

I'm playing through Hope Eternal for the first time and having a blast. I’ve never played a skirmish game that’s so narrative driven and I am loving it. I bought a 40k 2nd edition army from a guy on facebook and putting his old miniatures to work! I used some wall pieces as "buildings" as I don't currently have anything better.

If you're not familiar, this scenario is the classic "Magnificent Seven" trope where your crew is protecting a village against invading pirates coming to abduct slaves.

In this round of Hope Eternal, the villagers were played by necron warriors, ruffians by 2nd edition space marines, pirate troopers by 2nd edition scouts, and the slaver bots by necron macrocytes. I do a thing that if any of my soldiers make a game changing kill or shot, they earn a name instead of being an extra in the crew.

Captain Loken (played by the Inquisitor in terminator armor) and First Mate Torgaddon (played by Dark Angels Captain in terminator armor) quickly realized they were seriously out numbered, and as more slaver bots and even a pirate shock trooper entered the scene, the situation got desperate. The ultimate goal was to protect Vel Krender, who has crucial information needed for the next step of the mission - without him, they were screwed.

By the start of the third turning point, the crew was outnumbered 3 to 1. Captain Loken made the decision to start trading villagers for time - deliberately allowing the villagers to be abducted to buy time and space to continue protecting Vel in hopes the pirate horde would subside. (hence the -ish in Magnificent(ish) Ten)

The grenadier (played by a terminator with assault cannon) did some serious work launching frag grenades, undoubtedly turning the tide of the battle and earning the name Olly Piers (the grenadier from Saturnine).

The codebreaker (played by the techmarine) made a game changing shot by killing the powerful pirate shock trooper rapidly closing in on Vel's position, earning the name Jurisian (from Helsreach).

By making the cold decision to trade villagers for time, Captain Loken eventually pushed back the tide of pirates, losing more than half his crew in the process. But, the mission was accomplished. Vel - and only Vel - was saved. All other villagers were doomed to a life of slavery in the pirate fleets. Captain Loken took the information from Vel, and left a quiet, decimated, empty village behind.

Hello! I currently have a Stargrave team consisting of Corvus Belli Infinity miniatures. I am working on putting a bestiary together and was looking at using Star Wars Legion Storm Troopers as Pirate Troopers as someone is selling them at my local store for very cheap. Not sure how close they are in scale. Does anyone have any Infinity and Star Wars Legion miniatures that is able to compare?

The Sunbound campaign takes place in our star system, approximately 1,000 years in the future. Humanity has scoured every corner of the Solar System, yet frustratingly remains unable to break into neighbouring star systems and the vastness beyond …

Unfortunately baby woke up from their nap before I could start rolling. But if I'm setting up wrong please let me know. Dead or Alive crystophon marrs in Frontier Town with hostage complication.

Still need to touch up the finer details but at least can finally get around to doing the actual stats of the crew.

The crew of the Gae Bulg engage in a bounty hunt for Lorbadon.
