Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): Marine Scouts




In conjunction with my Rogue Trader Friday post at From the Warp, here is a look at some of the old scout models.

While I like the look of the current marine scout kit, you can't beat the character in these old models.

I love the idea of the scouts being able to use enemy weapons.

Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): Ork Freebooterz



I don't often post about Xenos scum on this blog, but researching some images in conjunction with my Rogue Trader Friday post at From the Warp, I came across this hilarious looking bunch of orks.

Ork Freebooterz:

Flash Gitz are the flashiest of Freebooterz, flamboyant in appearance and armed to the teeth - and Kaptin Badrukk's mercenaries are no exception.


I was astonished to find a transformation has occurred over the years:



No less flamboyant, but I guess thats what draws some to Orks.

Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): Chaplains



In conjunction with my Rogue Trader Friday post at From the Warp, here is a look at some of the old Chaplain models.

What is interesting is the color schemes then called for more variation that just the black armor/skull helm that is prevalent today.

I think the Howling Griffon model in the center looks ace.

New Legion of the Damned



Damn (no pun intended!) these are some pretty nice sculpts. It will be cool to see them on the table as a auxiliary unit, and the inevitable converted legion armies that will be showing up.

That sergeant would make a pretty good chaplain as well.

Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): Space Marines



In conjunction with my Rogue Trader Friday post at From the Warp, I thought it would be fun to look at some of the old metal Space Marine minis from the Rogue Trader days.

I am enjoying some of the archaic poses and interesting color schemes back then.

Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): Rhinos



As I mentioned over at "Rogue Trader Friday" on From the Warp, Im not a big fan of the old-school rhinos. The new models are much more imposing looking.



The conversions here make them almost palatable. The camouflage is tasteful and subdued, looking like something you would see in the real world of the far distant future
