Ships crew

I’ve been wanting to start a spaceship build, but thought I’d better have a crew first, so I put this ragtag group together with models from #colony87 #astropolis and cp models. It’s nice to have an assortment of characterful non-coms to be my pilots. I had a hard time coming up with a color scheme that remained muted, but conveyed the right tone, and fought the purple I’d added initially, but I’m happy with how they came out

I put this team together without knowing the goal, just a vague idea of a rebellious group of pilots and adventures, to work for my noble house. But as I painted, as I often do, I started brainstorming their backstory and place in the world, and realized they weren’t simply Rogue traders, like I’d first thought but something more…
We don’t hear much from the Sensei these days, but I suspect the descendants of the Emperor are still out there, keeping out of the Eyes of the inquisition…
