Star Wars Legion – Darth Vader
The HQ element of the Galactic Empire Starter Set is none other than Darth Vader himself! This miniature is not exclusive to the starter set and is also available as part of the SWQ103 set, alongside General Veers.
During the production of Star Wars Legion, multiple poses of Darth Vader were created.
- SWL57 Darth Vader (Operative Expansion - The Emperor's Apprentice)
- Darth Vader Limited Edition 2019 CON Exclusive
- Darth Vader from the SWL01 Core Set (Dark Lord of the Sith) - also included in SWL121 Blizzard Force
This new sculpt for the new edition is kept in the design from The Empire Strikes Back.
Stargave – Scavengers
We are picking up two more plastic kits from Stargrave, starting with the Scavengers (SGVP007), which were released a while ago but which I haven't had time to review yet.
These impressively well-made sci-fi kits are produced by Northstar Military Figures in cooperation with Osprey Games. They cover 20 multi-part miniatures and have an RRP of 22 GBP.
Although they are designed with Stargrave in mind, they can obviously be used for a wide range of sci-fi settings. They are kept in a 28 mm scale with slightly heroic proportions, and of course they are interchangeable with the other kits in the range (such as the Mercenaries), and you can also use bits from the Frostgrave range.
Age of Sigmar – Stormcast Eternals Vigilors
The Stormcast Eternals Vigilors are also part of the Stormbringer series, and are one of the last kits that we want to review individually on here.
The Stormcast Eternal Vigilors are ranged infantry who wield lightning-charged Boltstorm Longbows. They specialise in scouting and marking enemies, enabling the rest of the Stormcast army to hit them more accurately. On the battlefield, they act as mobile support archers — tougher than mortal bowmen, but not intended for frontline combat.
A full box containing 10 miniatures has an RRP of 55 EUR, meaning the contents of Stormbringer Issue 31 are worth 22.50 EUR. The box contains the same two sprues as the ones here, but twice as many, and each comes with options for a Vigilator Alpha, as well as five 40 mm round bases. If you purchase them through Stormbringer, be sure to check the full instructions, as you will find more information on the variants/options than in the magazine.
Age of Sigmar Warcry – Kruleboyz Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof
As part of the Stormbringer subscription I added some miniatures here and there. Among them some characters, as I thought I was missing counterparts to the Stormcast Eternals range. For example like the Lord Aquilor on Gryph-Charger.
To balance that out, I got myself the Kruleboyz Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof. This model was originally included in the Dominion starter sets for Age of Sigmar, and is currently available as part of the Orruk Warclans Spearhead, just like the Murknob with Beltcha Banna.
The Killaboss is a fixed-pose sculpt using the push-fit method, meaning you can assemble it without glue, and it comes with a 105 x 70 mm oval base. There is no official RRP for the miniature as it is currently only available as part of the Spearhead set and is often sold separately from split Dominion boxes on marketplaces.
Da Red Gobbo’s Tinboy Showcase
In our review, we covered Da Red Gobbo's Tinboy, and now it's time to paint him! I worked on this miniature in the same batch as the Manticore Knight, and I had a special idea for it.
Just like I did with the miniature from Warhammer Quest, I wanted to change the colour scheme. As the Tinboy looked like a nutcracker, I searched online for paint schemes for them. A famous one from the Erzgebirge in Germany takes its colours from hussars, which I thought would be fitting and would certainly move away from the large amount of red.
