Very, very nice! Of course to do such  a nice army true justice it should be played using the old and great Rogue Trader rules :D

As for using RT rules i've already got two RT army's (Chaos (Pictures here http://bloodforum.treps.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=220 and Orks) and so i decided to make this to use in 6th.

So much cult goodness. Very excited to see the limo and the tanks when they're ready! Which model will you be using for the basis of the limo, or are you going to scratchbuild it?

Im not sure yet, i've been hunting around for a suitable model for awhile, if anyone has any ideas then let me know.

Great stuff, Chico.
Love a bit of retro 40k.

Really surprised that they allow them in the shop window as I thought their policy was to only show stuff that can still be bought.
Pleasantly surprised, I might add.



It was for the Watford store Army of the Month and their all GW figures so the Manager was kind enough to allow it (Last month i entered my 3rd Ed Malal Chaos Dwarfs, picture here http://bloodforum.treps.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=287)

I might well do that, I did use to come over to the club on I think it was a Wednesday night at a venue in Queens Road, but over 90% of the games were the latest incarnations of WHFB or WH40K (it wasn't a GW exclusive club just no-one played much else) and I don't play those very much if at all, I prefer my 40K how it was in the RT era - you know, genestealer cults, squats, zoats, pirates etc or at least the feel of it then. I may still pop in just to say hi  :)

If you like your ''Oldhammer'', try this forum http://bloodforum.treps.net were a friendly bunch i would really recommend it.


To everyone else thanks for the kind words. And if anyone happens to have the odd Hybrid knocking around and looking to trade or sell please hit me up.

Cheers
Chico

nice chaos dwarfs - managed to pick up around 100 3rd ed figures recently of which about 50-55 were CD's - lovely models, yours look gorgeous.

Many thanks for the Oldhammer link too  :)

Work has begun on some Cult Armour/firepower, in this case some Scout Sentinals and Heavy Mortars (FW ones). Hopefully pictures will be forthcoming in the new week or so.

Muhahaha

The way that hybrid appears to be skritching the Hunter-Slayer behind the ears is just great. Beautiful army. I too cannot wait to see the limo.

Hey,

It's a conversion but for the most part its just a Metal Hybrid and RT Hunter Slayer (With modling chain around its neck) with a reposed current Guard arm and a old RT Ork Power Sword.


And thanks everyone.
