Relic Knights Week: Meet The Factions – Star Nebula Corsairs
January 19, 2017 by dignity
Its time to set sail beyond the edge of civilised space in Relic Knights as we look to join the ranks of the Star Nebula Corsairs, genuine bona fide space pirates!
Watch Relic Knights Week
The Star Nebula Corsairs are a flexible faction as they are just as comfortable laying down firepower as they are getting up close and personal in melee combat. Also did I mention they're space pirates!

Yeah pirates
You should have shown Kenobo the skinny outcast oni guy. Moffet I’m not a fan of but Kenobo is cool sculpt.
it’s getting harder and harder to decide where to start … i just know that if i start this game on day i will have every faction…
But well … everything is better with pirates and i love em!
These would be my 3rd faction
Belay talk of other factions, it’s a pirates life for me. Oh to stalk the space lanes, striking fast and capturing booty before disappearing and leaving the revenue cutters fumbling in our wake.
I like the concept of this faction, but not all the minis look as good as the other factions…
ossom, need this game 😛
Minnow, the woobie of this universe.
For some reason I cannot dislike Calico Kate, she always looks as if she’s enjoying her job so much
Space pirates, so cool. Especially love the bomb toting skeleton cypher. BOOM!
Space Chef I think has me sold.
Not so taken by all the miniatures for this faction they seem to be a rag tag pirate band (which they are)……
That is the faction for me
My second favourite faction after Doctrine. And I have to agree with Justin, I love the iron chef.
@dignity Right there with you mate. Space pirates FTW!
the Star nebula corsairs seem to be the most interesting faction. I can easily see 2 faction of space pirates fight over the same booty, fighting for top dog , or back stabbing rival space pirates..:)
like a virginnnnnn touched for the the very first tiiimme !!!! with globbers near my heart !!!!
I think I’ve settled on Doctrine myself but as they all do they looked very cool.
Space pirates are a no brainer. So much inspiration in there. It’s fantastic to see em, The problem with this game is that each faction has something so fun in it that I want an amalgamation of them all. It’s the same thing with Super Dungeon, every set had something that spoke to me so…. I bought them all…..
Second faction chosen, yes sir send me Space Pirates!!
I have a friend who would likely play this faction :3
Great models…
Now these look a fun faction for bad guys I love the minis and I think the pirate theme is great I don’t think these are the faction for me though, as I like the demons in the Noh faction much much more
I think the space paldins are definitly for me. so many nice models though! :p
Iron Chef FTW ! 😀
Nah, Pirates in Space is not really my cup ot tea.
Ration my rrrrrrummmm!
With Cpt. Harker, I am seeing a full-on Arcadia crew…just add a few more laser shooting swords, and they will be spot on.
Now this is my faction chaos explosions and space pandas!!!
Love the relic Knight but a pass on the others in this faction
They look really great, love Iron Chef. I really want to get ahold of some space pirates!
Pirates! I really love the artwork that Relic Knights has, it really has a great overall theme.
Need all the Relic Knights minis.
Maybe not my favorite faction overall, but that chef is awesome.
Space pirates with mechs? Awesome!
I was about to say, that this is not the faction for me. But then I saw the chef! He’s awesome!!!
Hmm, the Noh may well have been pushed into third place by these guys…
Im really torn on this one. I love the models for the iron chef and some of the characters, but I’Â not a big fan of the line troopers.
So… maybe as a sixth faction?
This is a faction I want them to expand more…Relic Knights RPG… Yes if we have a My Little Pony RPG then Relic Knights needs one as well!
Faction for me probably. Or black diamond. Or… man they really all look so cool.
got to love a pirate.. but not loving the minis so much for this faction
ding ding ding. We have a winner. Best faction yet.
Very tempting but I need to see some of the others before I finally made my mind up
super quirky, I wish there was an easy way to look at stats
Is there a doctor here? Seriously what’s wrong with my brain? Whenever there is pirates or mercenaries faction available I will always drift to it and in the end will be sucked in by it. Cmon. For once I would like to be Knight in shining armor rescuing damsel in distres without gratitude other than “than you” and no the one who actually is responsible for this distress or not the one hwo will alwas ask “How much this, thank you thing, will help to elevate my income level?”. Shish… Heh… Space magical relic pirates than or mercenaries than? Should I pick both?
“It should be safe to watch this video. I’m not much of a pirate fan after all.”
10 minutes later…
“SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!”
<.<;;
I think Shattered Swords play style suits me, but that Iron Chef guarantees The Corsairs get a look-in. When I win the prize, it’ll be those two factions, I think!
I was sold on the Corsairs as soon as I saw the artwork. They immediately reminded me of Space pirate Captain Harlock and are what made me take a second look at this game.
Such a cool look.
Very cool.
Arghh, Im a Pirate!
Pirates of the bendy sword!
Space chef ftw! 🙂
I appreciate their love of booty 🙂
Speaking of booty deal on calico Kate here

My brother will love these, especially the chef.
Pirates are not for me, but the chef looks amaizing.
Their mechanics sound interesting. I alwasy like a little chaos on the table, so they should be fun to watch.
Hoping for a battle report with them here.
There we have it my Faction. Pirates are the better everything-
Space Pirates ftw!!! Definitely one of my favorite factions for Relic Knights! Calico Kate looks bad ass! Plus I always wanted to be a space pirate…
Iron Chef, yes, but I’d expect more aliens in these motley crews.
Between the iron chef, harker and the broadside I think these will have to be my faction
Space Pirates… nuff said 😀
Great models and blowing things up is allways funny
Yeah I think I’ve narrowed it down to Black Diamond and the Corsairs as my two favorites. Really like the look of Calico Kate.
I do not know, drawings of the factions look better than the models. Other factions I liked more
Drink up me hearties Yo Ho!
Right now I’ve got that out of my system 🙂
The gambling mechanic sounds real fun.
Captain Harker sounds like my kind of gentleman rogue.
So… The Iron Chefs speciality is luring his targets in, well that’s certainly working on me! so much temptation.
The corsairs look like a very colorful bunch. And the Iron Chef is indeed awesome.
Space pirates – check!
Cartoon bombs – check!
Four-armed chef racoon thing – check!
Sold! Sold to the goggle-eyed man on the sofa.
pirates are always cool.
YES!!! Space Pirates!!! With a four armed raccoon chef to boot!! I absolute love these guys, I’m definitely getting these!!
Iron Chef? Sold!
This faction is great but their starter set is not so hot. Harker is a fun character but his model is really plain and some of the pirate crew sculpts are among the worst in the range. Some minis are getting new sculpts and I hope these guys get advanced on that list rapidly.
Fortunately, what the models lack, the rules do not and the Star Nebula starter is one of the stronger sets.
Rocket chef, its tempting.
Space Pirates look amazing as well, now it’s starting to get tough to make a selection. I particularly like the look and character of Calico Kate, sounds like a good back story to add flavor to this faction.
Wonder if a Helda mini with a Relic in a suitcase would work for this group.
I love the noble vampire space pirate side of this faction that Harker brings to the table, and the Iron Chef looks great. My one outing with them didn’t go too well, despite having the excellent Rustbucket mech for fire support, but I intend to persevere.
I think it’s the Chaos element in this faction that makes it the most appealing. The freewheeling, swashbuckling opportunities to yell “Stand and Deliver!” and “Arrr, maties!! Surrender yer booty!!” are best in keeping with the fun spirit of the game.
The Iron Chef is too cool!
iron chef ha
Calico Kate and a faction of Space Pirates with themes drawn from the anime Harlock equals win in my book.
Done, this is my faction. Raccoon chef ftw
YAAAARRRRR Pirates, The paint work on Kate is excellent. Great looking cypher as well hee hee BomBs
Shiver me timbers! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. The Corsairs be for me.
these guys didn’t really click with me
Nice faction but i think my faction will be Shattered Sword, Black Diamonds or Noh, probably Shattered Sword as my first faction and one of teh others as second.
Who doesn’t love space pirates
When I was younger I wanted to be a pirate but I got seasick which meant my dreams were shattered. Now, if there were pirates in space, I wouldn’t get seasick!
I have several friends that would very much like this faction.
Love these as they look so cool
Really like the look of this faction. It would really be a toss up to choose between the Corsairs or the Speed Circuit.
This would be my faction. They look awesome.
Awesome, nuff said. The more I learn about this game the more I want to spend a lot of money on it.
Please don’t do this to me.
🙁
The minis are incredible.
Brother G
Arrrh!
Great looking faction. This is curently my 4th faction but, i only assemble 2 minis so far! This week is going to serve as a spring board to finish them up and start painting my collection again!
I like how each of the different factions could have there own manga books.
Loving the game so far. Love the models! Need this in my life!!!
A four-armed raccoon chef? Now I want to play these guys just to have him!
Space Chef four armed raccoon…..yup I’m in. 😀
this would be right up my brother’s alley.
Picked up Kate just to paint, but they forgot to mention you can pose her in two different ways on her Relic
Ah, chaos. I’m still not sold on the flip mechanic. Thematically, it’s great, but I don’t like that it’s either really good or really bad depending on how deep you are in your deck. (And sure, I can count cards and make an “informed decision” as to when I use it, but it’s just never my first choice in abilities…)
Four armed chef that can lure away enemy cyphers,no wonder Justin is all in on this faction.
Just be careful the stew does not lure warzan across the table! Instead
Definately one of the cooler factions, but not one that I would like to play as.
Hmmm. Not sure about this group. Look neat with lots of unique abilities.
Have to say I am very drawn to this game’s lore and the story of Calico Kate has peeked my interest further still.
These guys must be hard to defend against because they are so chaotic you never know what is going to happen. How do you defend against chaos.
wait, the Black Diamonds are the “Bad guys” but the corsairs are the pirates… what do the Black Diamonds do again?
P.S. pirates and chaos… defiantly a fun one to play on ocation
Great concepts!
Space pirates AND gambling built into their game play? Sounds like fun to me.
More on those space pirates. Love them.
Everything looks so good 🙂
I want that Iron chef mini lol
That Iron Chef is great!
I really like these, they look cool and I like the idea of the gambling gameplay.
Interesting mechanics.
Ooh ooh me! Me! I wanna be a space pirate!
Not going to lie, I may have developed a crush on Calico Kate, and maybe Iron chief.
i agree !00% this is greatest mini of them all
This one and black Diamond for me all the way.
Who want`s to be a “Space Pirate”, and if not why not……………………..I`m now liking the SNC even more than last time, so at the moment there just a head in pole position.
Anyone for “Stew”, and by the way………………..This here is “Frying Pan”, have you meet FP yet. No…..then come a little closer
Space pirates for the win 😀
Starjammers? The one guy could be Corsair!
I love the fact that you can play either way, noble pirates or total bad guys. This is the faction that got one of my buddies to play. You can’t beat space pirates.
Definitely the faction for me too. I particularly like the fact that the faction holds several types of pirate personalities.
OK i would choose this faction, very characterfull minis, now i want them
Space pirates? Sign me up!
Well if you like Iron Chef, you’ll LOVE the Darkspace variant who works for the Black Diamond dressed as a rather familiar protagonist from a series of Tactical Espionage Action games….
http://sodapopminiatures.com/relic-knights/relic-knights-special-edition/darkspace-iron-chef
the iron chef is pretty cool, love the black diamond version.
I think Calico in the mech might be my favorite model in the game and would be worth the starter box on its own.
Good looking faction.
my favourite so far
These guys look cool but not for me, their minis are nice but I don’t think their play style suits me at all.
Getting harder to decide what faction I want to play
Such character to this faction, both in theme and personnel.
