'Resistance' from TomL: The Crew of the Scorpio

Continuing my personal Blake 7 obsession theme, my resistance group is the second group of freedom fighters on the show - the final crew of the Scorpio. The Terran Federation slowly eliminated most of Blake's first crew, computer and ship. With some new crew, a new ship and the annoyingly obsequeious and subservient new computer "slave", Avon and the surprisingly loyal Villa fought to the end. Perhaps laying the groundwork for the empires eventual fall.

I did like how Villa often had a snack handy.

Wait. I can explain!

Old friends?




If you have no idea how it ended.... stop reading here...


While I enjoyed watching the show in its entirety years later, for a TV production 
the early 80’s it had a devastating & polarizing ending.  Unfortunately Paul Darrow’s attempts to get another season never succeeded.  So we were left with a "heroic death trope" ending. 

This is another set of Beast in the Brooch miniatures painted with Foundry, Vallejo and Two Thin Coats acrylics.  

Points are pretty simple at 85.  7 28mm figures for 35 points plus the theme bonus of 50.
