Rogue Trader Away Team and Grotesques

[YorkNecromancer]

Just sharing a few things I've been working on over the last week or so.





They deliberately have a different colour scheme to my Imperial Guard to emphasise they're not actually Guard; they're meant to represent an away team tech crew (hence the bionic arms - they're initiated into the Machine Cult, but they aren't full members yet, hence they aren't allowed the robes.









I converted these ages ago, and finally got round to painting them. I think they look pretty okay.

interesting idea for your Tech team, those beasts though, wow superb job on the skin paint job, love the pale flesh with contrasting scars.

Great stuff! Love the big bulky grotesques especially.

If you don't mind non-GW models, PP recently did some very cool Monstrosities.

Perhaps a full Rouge Trader crew in the future?

It's charming that you think I'm not.

It's currently in development; the Rogue Trader counts as an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, so her crew is basically going to be a small Inquisition force. Her story is that she's been paid to transport an Inquisitorial Conclave to deal with the terrible heresy raging on Kepler 22b. As a result, she doesn't usually go ashore, but when she does, she takes a small bodyguard of privately trained mercenaries, as well as other key technical crew.

I'll be posting photos when I get round to laying out my Inquisition army. I've been meaning to do it for two weeks, but my last two armies

took hours to lay out, so I've been kind of putting it off because I'm lazy.

Not to mention I've still got all my other armies to photograph.

[Levaticus]

I wasn't doubting that you were making one. It was more of a nudge to post pictures of it. Also, again love the two armies you've posted so far.

Deathwatch army!

Wow.....

Do they all have the Deathwatch Shoulder Pad and different Chapter Shoulderpads as well?

If so damn that is commiment for you

Yes and yes.

There are a few exceptions; basically on those older metal models where removing the integral left pad was too much effort they've just been painted silver to fit in. But yes, a good 90% of them have a Deathwatch pad. As for the chapter symbols, yes, a lot of them have chapter-specific pads. I just haven't kept the individual chapter colours on the right pad because I think it looks f***ing awful across a whole army; too colourful and lacking in a unified feel. So chapter logos are in white, or if they're an actual embossed pad, white with a brown wash.

I take my modelling and painting very seriously.

I tip my Virtiual Hat (tm) off to you Yorkie, thanks for the reply, I agree having them ALL different coloured would look wierd...

Fine army, makes my Space Marine company weep in shame.....
