In The Grim Darkness of the Future, I Do Whatever I Want (A few additions)

[Dr Mathias]

Cool project

Always enjoy Rogue Trader 'anything goes' wackiness.

That yellow bot is superb. Love the wacky tongue in cheek humour of early 40k
The planet Birmingham black powder weaponry etc
Also like early necromunda /confrontation .
I thought about doing a take on it also incorporating some things from D.M. Cornishmen’s monster blood tattoo .

Great work Zerotwentythree and I like your blog posts, this project is very much in the Rogue Trader style. RT was always whatever you want it to be, that freedom is probably why I’ve struggled and failed to be part of the modern 40k scene (very much as you said). The biggest problem with actually playing RT is that was always very easy to put too much on the table (being like overexcited children) and slow the whole thing down so much it feels clunky. And blogger is an absolute nightmare currently (on the iPad you can’t see what you’re typing, it’s laborious and has ruined my blogging mojo - what little there was) I love your work keep it up.

3fingers my friend and I play Confrontation as much as we can and our ongoing project is to try and finish it (it was a converted WW2 - I think Stalingrad - ruleset) as big parts are missing. The hardest part is where they talk about modding your miniatures to show scars between games but most the time few if any chaps survived long enough .

023 - I’m looking forwards to seeing what you do

This is looking great. It really reminds me of AE bounty rules

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks all!

Yes, I've got a fondness for the old RT humor & satire, and I definitely like smaller, scenario-driven skirmish games at this scale. (6mm is for big battles, tanks, etc! )

Bases done on the three "civilian" recruits.



Prepped the next few figures. Being cast adrift for 40,000 years of unappreciated gardening can unhinge even the most peaceful of 'bots. (Er, "drones”).

Oh, that is a brilliant idea for those figures. I particularly like the one collecting skulls.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks. Yeah, Louie turned especially bitter after he was recovered from the cold depths of space by his "brothers."

A fun looking project.   I pity the poor unsuspecting colonist who meets these robots.

Love the now psychotic gardener droids, who makes/made them?

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks!

Reaper. I bought the Bones 3-pack but should have got the metal version instead:

I forgot to share this, I painted it weeks ago. I opted for a simple paintjob to let the (great) sculpt be the star. Wanted a simple utilitarian or maybe military look.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

I like that.
