Stargrave - The Talons of Solubris
First Mate Mihaan Vars
Same paint scheme as the Captain
Added a 101st US airborne transfer to the shoulder pad.
The addition of a Warlord Games Bolt Action British Weapons Sprue PIAT ammunition case and a Skitarii Plasma backpack make this guy look very different. It does look a bit excessive, but I wanted to advertise the fact that he has an Energy Shield Stargrave Power that takes three hits of damage once activated.
I really liked the Stargrave Crew NorthStar carbine arms. I wondered whether to make shoulder pads to make him more in keeping with his brother, but as these guys are meant to be in light armour I guess what he has on display should be enough.
On his left hip Mihaan has a “deck” from the Northstar Crew sprue. It kinda looked like an 80’s tape deck to me so I put a red button on it, just incase he wants to hit play and record to make himself a mixtape or something. The screen came out OK with a Templar Black Contrast first layer, with some spots of yellow paint to try and imitate fine text, followed by and Orc flesh Green Contrast over that.
Mihaan also has a spanner on his canteen to indicate his Repair Robots Stargrave Power.
I added a Warlord Games 101st US airborne transfer to the shoulder pad and shoulder of the brothers. I think it ties in with the “Talons” background and I don’t see it as an immersion issue.
