Space. The Final Frontier. Painting Star Trek: Away Missions

I haven’t got to taking decent pictures of these yet, but as a teaser – here’s a view of the Borg…

And here’s the group all finished. Really pleased with how they came out.

These have honestly been some of the most fun and enjoyable miniatures l’ve ever painted.

Strong clear details that take paint really well, faces you can add character to (and properly paint the eyes!).

Ha! I failed to take any useful in-progress pictures, but here’s one of Riker’s Away Team nearing completion.

The starter set Battle of Wolf 359 contains two teams: Riker’s Away Team of the Federation, and Locutus’s Unimatrix of the Borg.

Rikers Away Team consists of Commander Riker, Mr Data, Lieutenant Commander Shelby and Lieutenant Worf.

Locutus’s Unimatrix consists of Locutus and One, Two, Three, Four and Five of Five respectively.

In Star Trek: Away Missions, players will lead their own landing parties to complete missions, conduct espionage, fight in glorious battle, or assimilate distinctiveness. The objective is to score points by completing missions over the three rounds. Each completed mission earns you points. Score the most points to win the game!

As a bit of a Trekkie, and increasingly a fan of smaller, skirmish style games- this game had appeal from the start. I know the miniatures have had quite a marmite reaction from many gamers – but I thought they looked really fun.
