Quarantine 37 – Stargrave

The Poxwalkers were designed to be mutated and at a ridiculous level of toxicity and diseased corruption. The Stargrave Plague Zombies as far as I can tell are just meant to be basic undead zombies in space. I will still be using the poxwalkers for this expansion because it will cut down my start up time for my solo campaign dramatically. Having to kitbash and paint a dozen space zombies would be a lovely chore to undertake, but a speed bump to getting started for definite.

I will be using my painted Poxwalker collection for the Plague Zombies, but needed some shooty Soldier Zombies too. A work mate shared a fist full of bits box parts with me and they figure heavily in these kit bashes.
Not sure where any of the heads come from, but the arms are nurgle Plaguebearer demon arms. The bodies and carbine arms are from the Stargrave Crew Box.

I needed to make them quite mutated because I know they would be next to poxwalkers on the table together. Always being the left arm being mutated is just dictated by the parts I had and my lack of spare sci-fi carbines. I drilled holes into the minis to show they aught to be dead or at least wounded.  Instead he is crying out for brains… And ammo.

The camouflage pattern was cheeky. It was made simply to take full advantage of the black and grey zenith I started them out with. The light grey bits got some Vallejo German Grey and the black parts got some Grey Seer patterns.

In my poxwalkers collection I actually found some armed with carbines. If I get a battle where more than 3 soldier zombies are required I can always fall back on these.

I realized I still needed loot tokens to fight over. I got three metal tokens in the Nickstarter I backed to get the box and rules when Stargrave launched. Grenades, container and “data slate on case” are what came first. I could have just gone 2d at that stage to add more card tokens, but I had some bits box ideas and threw myself into making those.

The Japanese gun was just an effort to clear up a sprue left over from a Bolt Action project. With the Star Wars film series basing blaster weapons on WW2 classic weapons I don’t apologize for my modification.

The Red topped corpse holding the data slate was just a fun take on how best to use leftover data arms from the Crew Box set. Poor old Jim died a fiery death but he clearly thought that data tablet was worth keeping from the blaze even at the last breath.

Poor old Jim was kitbashed from a bits box Mantic Ghoul torso and a Crew Box data tablet arm and head.
