Unboxing: Stargrave Mercenaries, Crew & Troopers Plastic Sets

[@ryanfair5107]

The modularity of these kits really sold me.

[@riddlingrymer]

I want to get some with friends. Swap a couple of sprues around so we have the whole range of options.

[@spankytaz2886]

Great idea! Now all I need are some friends 8(

[@anthonyplayter2981]

Sure there will be quite a few floating around on eBay :)

[@albertomunozarancon3012]

So many bits... A golden mine for conversions, though they already look great

[@stevenleahy4947]

I like the modularity where you can mix and match especially between sets!

[@mightyeroc7284]

1 set of each and you have loads of possibilities. Need to get a crew box!

[@flyebynite9735]

I really like the fact you can mix and match the different kits. Great Idea.

[@evangriffiths5796]

So much potential in these boxes, plus they're even compatible with the Frostgrave plastic figures too... Fantastic!!

[@UglebsJournal]

I love the thought of having a sprue from half a dozen kits and just going nuts with it!

[@onkelgroen]

North Star keeps making great, affordable, kitbashable kits it seems. Well done!

[@darrengamer8189]

Nice to watch a review where you can actually see the sprues, and then some made up. Thanks again Gerry.

[@FBHKWHD]

its friday and its a perfect day to watch an unboxing and The Greatest MOvie ever Made

[@carloseduardobeserranobre432]

The mercenaries have so much character. Clear winners!

[@BrendanSparrow]

Great stuff, really helps to see what are on the sprues before buying. I probably won't bother with the trooper box, the crew and mercenary kits look a lot more varied.

[@michaelgarza6735]

Best display of exactly what you get that I've seen so far. Thanks!

[@buellrichardson5222]

I have to say the 5 different videos for Stargrave this week have definitely made me wanting to see many more. Even if I don't win the videos were worth viewing

[@martincloutier4300]

Awesome, thanks for showing us whats in each box. It's going to be fun to assemble my minis and painting them! With the gnolls and cultists we got with the Nicstarter, me and my budy are not going to run out of pirates! Thanks for the vid!

[@lordcypher7922]

I actually like the troopers but it is so great you could use other miniatures in this game from say Infinity, Gates of Antares and 40k

[@jocastaeuryale147]

Seeing the contents is helpful to decide

[@AndrewSmith-fd3fi]

Such a fantastic range of options across the 3 box sets.

[@LtCdrRoyFokker]

Thanks! It's cool that you can buy official minis as well as use things from your existing collection.

[@neilmerrifield2281]

Love these sets. Plenty of options for customizations. The troopers could easily be used for a custom astra militarum.

[@deleriom]

exactly, except I had some spare cadians floating around- enough to make a great crew - so I will be doing the reverse :P

[@thislostendevour]

Just as with the Frostgrave minis these Stargrave boxes look very customisable. I reckon I could build a few different crews with one box.

[@Blipvertus]

I like all of them but it looks like the ships crew box has the most variety with the mercenaries being a close second.

[@Blipvertus]

@Gerry mcCabe Not enough aliens for ya? 😆

[@dotplot8675]

As usual north star miniatures do not disappoint, those are some great looking sculpts

[@spankytaz2886]

As Gerry said, these work so well in any sci-fi game, be it war/skirmish or RPG. Personally, I'll be using these first of all in Five Parsecs from Home as that's what I'm currently playing but as soon as our club starts meeting up again, I'll be looking to recruit some Stargrave players and it'll be great to have a bunch of painted minis ready to rock from the get-go.

[@Kira-Namida]

I can see the appeal of getting a variety of the kits to mix and match. Pretty good sci-fi mini's in general, even if you might not be playing Stargrave with them.

[@tamsinp7711]

I cracked. While I was out shopping this afternoon, I bought the rules. I'm thinking of trying it in 15mm as a friend and I already have some 15mm SF terrain (and I've got loads of suitable figures lurking in my lead pile).

[@raincoast_bear]

That’s a great move. If I didn’t have a huge investment in 28mm I’d definitely go 15mm. Many Great 15mm sci-fi line at great prices.

[@dylanolafson5201]

This game ticks some many creative boxes I've been waiting for haha

[@Breland1976]

Amazing coverage this week! So glad this game is getting the love.

[@chrispainton7939]

Been really enjoying all the in-depth reviews gaming and painting and really after all this wouldn’t mind getting into this game! Also it’s the weekend so happy weekender!

[@Volgan16666]

Certainly does look good - all three of them. I really like the troopers box. Im in the process of painting a few figures for Oathmark and I have to say the Oathmark humans and Frostgrave figures make some nice and varied combinations.

[@benstapleton5319]

Glad to get a preview of the sprues, these could go for some good conversion bits too!

[@semperatis]

Very nice looking plastics,which could be used in many different games.

[@alexfriedrichs6240]

They really look great. I love the variety of the heads

[@paulwalker5221]

Great miniatures my favourite is the Mercenary set. Found compatible with Wargames Atlantic Space Dwarfs and the Stormtroopers. Very easy to put together.

[@seanv3997]

Thank you for this. Always great to see inside the box before purchasing. Nice that there alien parts included.

[@Pmantis12]

I already have so much to do, but the low model count of this game makes it super appealing.

[@JohnnyLeyenda]

I was looking for miniatures for Zona Alfa, and honestly I think all these kits will do the job, they're not overly futuristic and the weapons still look appropriate, mixing some Frostgrave heads and bodies in the mix will probably be perfect!

[@tibour007]

You missed you chance with the Mercs box. Monkey head + Deck = Code Monkey for Hackers :). I have already made some Gnouls with various weapons as well.

[@markgannon4938]

What beautiful and interesting sprues, love how good, yet simple they all are

[@darrenchantler2562]

Yeah Hello looking forward to mixing these up and raiding the bits boxes for my own take on Scum and Villainy of the Galaxy

[@rossbonilla7213]

Crew and mercenaries are my most wanted at the moment.

[@andy.yarych]

These minis look great, amount of build variance impresses me a lot

[@edwardmccoll3687]

I love the badger heads, to quote the immortal Mr Badger, thump 'em & thump 'em & thump 'em, preferably with a heavy carbine/ rapid fire gun

[@InfernalTeddy]

These minis look really good, and the game looks fine too

[@68Mie]

I like them all 👍🤩 ill paint some troopers like the bad batch. And some crew as han solo. Mercenarys will be like bounty hunters. Maybe a gina carano too.

[@ChristianTorrent]

Nice looking kits, I've saved a few heads from my snake-men and gnolls to add to my stargrave crew for a bit of variety :).

[@mhovar101]

I love the options that this kit comes with

[@thetacticalrock]

Loving the stargrave content... thank you OTT!

[@5thterrax]

This game looks to be amazing. I'm super pumped to try it. Maybe incorporate it with some d20 rpg action.

[@padarkvernon6990]

I got the Mercenaries box during the Nickstarter, but this is the perfect occasion to browse carefully the other boxes. I think I could do with a Crew box to fill in some gaps in my crews...

[@Subcomandante73]

Nice that you can mix and match the sets to make some interesting crewmates :)

[@chilledenuff]

I've purchased all 3. The troopers painted up really do like oldskool imperial guard

[@tomm1985]

It looks like each set has a lot of variety!

[@Longo556]

I’ve been wanting to learn more about Stargrave - thanks!!!

[@JasonCookingham]

Thank you for the Stargrave week. It looks like a fun game. Will you be looking at the solo options?

[@ItsMeMattCarter]

Don't forget Oathmark, these can kit bash with those and the new Wild West minis coming out next month from Northstar. I'm definitely making space elves and a firefly crew lol

[@andreaspersson5639]

Yep. These are immidiately going on the shopping list (well, as soon as I know I didn't win any). And then to perhaps scrounge up some more options for alien heads from a galaxy far far away...

[@aldarbill9472]

Great content all week, thank you guys 👍

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

There is a nicely converted crew with Frostgrave gnoll heads pictured in the book

[@printandplaygamer7134]

I love the Frostgrave minis, and these bring everything that made them great to Sci Fi! Can't wait to get ahold of them!

[@greywulfslair]

Fantastic set of kits, as ever. Looks like you could easily use bits from Bolt Action infantry sprues as well for even more flexibility. Definitely going to pick up some of these.

[@edevans5991]

More likely, you could combine these with the Frostgrave and Oathmark sets. Barbarians with laser guns, anyone?

[@TheFarmoon]

Looks like an awesome system. I'm excited.

[@BenjaminFletcher]

The Merc set is especially good. Looking forward to building these and I have high hopes for future v2 female sets.

[@HALOLAMOREUX]

Some nice looking minis. Awesome for kit bashing

[@igorhamzic3757]

The boxes look great with a lot of options for swapping. I wish there were a bit more alien heads on the sprues though.

[@dashohoman2505]

Well that was a very good breakdown of the boxes.

[@redmist1122]

Great review Gerry...love the different look of each set. I agree the mercenary pack looks the coolest as I would go for more aliens. Again, great review.

[@kariranta-ojala5181]

Great Game. Lots of variety in kits

[@therichardsfam245]

There's loads of options there, I've got so many ideas of what I'd like to do now!

[@riber78]

Thank you showing the boxes.

[@rstrahan]

hmmm...I'd like to pick up a box of crew to see how they would go with the gnolls. Dogman pirates for the win!

[@KentuckyFriedGamers]

I enjoy their minis and love the options they include

[@Kevin.Mitchell]

The troopers box makes an excellent generic army / law enforcement force for a heap of games. Looking forward to having a play around with all the boxes though - throwing in some random Frostgrave parts will be an added bonus!

[@mikejones782]

some very nice sprues, almost too many options when you add in the Frostgrave & Oathmark box sets too, hopefully the next bos will be a captain/1st mate set like the Frostgrave wizards box

[@wesleymarshall3741]

I do hope that they include some more hand weapons in a future box beyond daggers and knives. I could swap in arms from Frostgrave, but I’d prefer hand weapons with a more futuristic aesthetic.

[@aaronfenimore3700]

These look amazing! I see so many possibilities. Hope I can get some soon.

[@Iceeagle85]

Great sets, really like the alien heads, hope we get some alien bodies in the future.

[@johnwilson9108]

I've a box of each (through the Nickstarter), in storage until my birthday.

[@agihargitai7623]

There's some fantastic potential!

[@alexsr2841]

The monkey head on the Mercenaries box art makes me want to recreate the crew from Captain Simmian And The Space Monkeys 🐵

[@kmelkian]

Love the Stargrave coverage!

[@Gaiseric08]

The mercenaries sprue is brilliant!

[@adamstewart5188]

Between the good look and incredible flexibility, these are some of the best sci-fi kits out there. I can't wait to get my hands on them.

[@melgurth666]

Nice to see what's in the boxes

[@Saxondogg]

On vacation for the next week and a half. Looking forward to playing this. Had the rules pre-ordered but haven't played yet.

[@joelruehs4386]

Waiting for my meds box but I think I'm going to need a crew box too. Really wanted the alien heads

[@thegameskingdom811]

All 3 boxes are great but no long coats on some mercs was a disappointment, plus no open right hands was a mistake I feel. Rules are fantastically put together

[@DeGreyChristensen]

I love the generic sci-fi aesthetic! And I really love how many options are available on each sprue. So many heads!

[@kjellkennethmoens6056]

Lots of possibilities there!

[@wampley5825]

I've never played Frostgrave, but the possibility of winning a copy of Stargrave can't be obviated! I'm in.

[@jacobtaylor9879]

the stargrave art is awesome. minis are cool too 😅😅

[@billdefranza4927]

Looking good! I think I'll have to grab a set or three.

[@TheTrelliz]

Definitely thinking of using the troopers for some near-future wargaming, not many models at this scale for a decent price.

[@daveyc6720]

Nice customizable models.

[@BethorInvictus]

Great sets, with the frost grave setst you get even more options :)

[@joelhall9922]

Miniatures really looks ace!

[@stuartward6067]

I recently bought the rules and have been looking around for some figures. Have looked at Northstar and Wargames Atlantic figures.

[@fredschmidt1971]

I picked up the mercenaries box and have been mixing it with Frostgrave minis to make some exotic looking aliens.

[@AF-kj2zl]

Great sprues for kitbashing for this game and others.
