Rogue Stars campaign

In preparation for the campaign that I am running I needed to add a couple more scenery pieces to fill up the playing area. First up I wanted a landing pad as this fitted the scenario I had I'm mind for the first game. I did look around various sites for something suitable and came across this site https://www.genetmodels.com/free-stuff/ it has loads of useful stuff if you don't mind printing in card. I downloaded the landing pad and after about 30 minutes work this is how it turned out. I did add some supports for extra strength.

I also picked up a card u-wing of suitable scale from a bookshop for the princely sum of £2. This will suffice as a shuttle for one of the crews.

I then ran a quick solo game to refresh myself with the rules.




Now just need to get back to painting my GNW Poles.

Rogue Stars - scenery

After playing a couple of games of Rogue Stars at the club to get familiar with the rules, I have committed myself to running a campaign. There will be between 3 to 4 players willing to take part.

The beauty of this game is small number of figures and a playing area 2x2. For previous games I've used some old Space Hulk tiles, which while very useful limits the game to fighting in corridors. I wanted something more versatile. First off a trip into the attic to dig out and old board that was originally started go Rogue Trader games. A quick dry brush and it's ready to go.

For scenery I've used a mix of old Necromunda bulkheads, Hexon platform, old WW2 battlefield clutter and other odds and ends. So far enough to cover a 2x2 board.






I've also taken a few photos from a practice game to give an idea of scale. Still got a couple of bits to add before looking at some suitable sci-fi buildings.




It's made a nice change from painting historical figured.
