Yes, this is an Historical Wargaming site. But I like Science Fiction especially Asimov, Heinlein and Bradbury. I have been looking for something to play solo here in Salem. Someone on our Wargaming Discord suggested Five Parsecs from Home. I had a look and said why not. I bought the rulebook, it is quite nice and detailed, but then I had to find some figures.
For the crew, I decided to go with some retro figures and after a good look around with a lot of good advice from the members of the club, I decided on Hydra Miniatures. They had a lot of great figures but after a good look, I decided to go with the Retro Raygun Galacteers.
For the enemy, I went with the Shasvastii from the Infinity Universe. I was hoping to buy them from the Abyss but they did not have this specific type in stock. They were a little difficult to assemble and paint in comparison to the Hydra Miniatures but it all ended up good.
And finally I needed some terrain. After a look around Battle Systems seem to have some nice kit so I bought Trader Encampment box set. The terrain is cardboard but was really of good quality and with that and the included map, I seem all set.
Here are some photos.
I have started my first adventure but more about that later.
