If you want to play in a smaller scale 15mm there's loads of sci fi minatures and it's cheap as chips khurasan minatures and Ground zero games both excellent detail.

This is a really cool idea too, and you are right it’d be far cheaper too. Plus you could use a smaller tabletop! Good call Black Knight!

Haven't yet got miniatures from khurasan but I can say alternative armies had some great 15mm! Including a great starter set for patrol Angis.

I’m glad you mentioned core space. I was thinking that would be one of the best options for a ready to go crew and terrain set. Also I am a huge fan of using new rules for older minis / games to give them new life

I picked up the Deadly sEven and Wayward Eight boxes from Wild West Exodus to build a Firefly-themed crew, but I also picked up a sprue each of Stargrave Crew, Troopers and Mercs, as well as a sprue of Raumjager Infantry and Eisenkern Stormtroopers from Wargames Atlantic.

Games that are miniature range agnostic are a great win for me and if the rules are as nice as the refined version of Frostgrave we got last year we're in for a treat. As far as minis go, I'll add the Rebels from Star Wars Legion into the mix, the pathfinders even have a couple of aliens, Imperial Stormtroopers anyone?

Great video! I think I may have most of the minis covered thanks to various board games I have. For the peeks I have seen on reddit of the bestiary i think Mansions of Madness and it's expansions cover a lot like the sewer dragon, bile worms, tangler, warp hounds, gaunch, ruffians and ryakan. For robots I did pick up a Core Space Purge booster. great little models and I love the leader who looks like a great psionic alien. There is an old war game called Abaddon that has a crap ton of beefy mech minis if you wanted very intimidating robots. it rages from 20-45 usd on Amazon. I think any sci fi dungeon crawl would help too. the only kickstarter I backed is finally arriving: Siege of the Citadel 2nd ed. all of the doom troopers in that would make Great crew, along with some of the baddies. and many of the baddies would also make, well, good baddies, lol. I can imagine games like Zombicide invader and Deep Madness might have quite a few useable figs. plus a lot of board games use 12 inch by 12 inch tiles. enough of them and you have a pretty well decorated play space. wow, i wrote a block of text. sorry about that!

Know you’re leaning into other games atm but when you have time in your content schedule would be great to get more content on Stargrave. It’s one of your highest viewed videos recently and there’s very few content creators following it. Quarantine 37 recently released and there’s the sequel core expansion due mid-2022. If you want to steer clear of BatReps there’s lots to cover in terms of commentary towards Backgrounds, Powers, Upgrades, Equipment, Levelling, Loot, etc. You could cut these down into smaller videos of 5-8mins, focusing on performance insights and or narrative focused combinations ie this is what a Star Lord/Iron Man/Han Solo/Alice (Resident Evil)/etc might look like from a Background, Powers, Equipment, and play style perspective.

I just noticed, when looking for scifi characters to print, that Loot Studios has stats for all their monsters and opponents. The miniatures look great and that they might work for Stargrave, Core Space, etc. I am new to tabletop gaming, fwiw.

I would also add miniatures from Mutant Chronicles:WARZONE. its older game but minis are still around and they're relatively cheap now . Id also add REAPER miniatures. Very easy on the wallet! In terms of terrain , look up Tinkerturf. Easy to build , affordable lightweight terrain.

If you play the pure game, Stargrave is much simpler. It’s if you obviously want to keep track of characters over a campaign that there’s more to remember with upgrades etc. But the core mechanics are very friendly! Hope this helps! 😊
