Some lovely painting, modelling, and world building in this thread! Very inspiring. I'm going through all these pages from the beginning!

Thanks everyone! A quick update today with a few 'ordinary' Tech gangers to add to the existing gang. These are pretty much stock figures as available in 1991, with the metal bodies mated with plastic arms and guns. I did a little bit of carving to get the arms to fit closer to the bodies, and repositioned pretty much every wrist to line them up better.

I went with the classic long-barrelled Rogue Trader lasguns as opposed to the shorter-barrelled ones I've used on the earlier gangers as an in-game distinction between lasguns and lascarbines. Plus I'm still rather fond of the long-barrelled ones!

Lovely stuff!

Techs = coolest of the confrontation gangs? I (probably) think so.

Yes, the Techs are definately the coolest gang. Love the raybans and Doc Martens.

Works really well with the white overalls.

It's always Great Techs when it's with Jon

I remember wrangling with those plastic arm/metal body combinations on the old Imperial Guard figures. You've done a great job getting them to look natural. Painting is great, too!

All these minis look te(ch)rrific!
Ahem.

No, seriously, I would have never imagined they could look so cool.

More lovely paintjobs. You're giving me really unrealistic expectations of how good some of the goofier oldhammer minis would look if I attempted a similar rescue!

They look great

Techs, techs, techs...

Is that all you ever think about?

A final Tech to get the Data Kings ready for a new campaign in a week's time - this time some heavy firepower with his plasma cannon:

He's another Citadel Tech with a Rogue Trader conversion beamer standing in for his big gun.

I've also painted up some space cowboys for a dimensional shift game of Dracula's America (in space):

These guys are a small Dark Confederacy posse, comprised of some Rogue Trader Imperial Guard with head swaps (and added facial hair). The revenant is a classic Citadel Zombie - my favourite from the range.

Love the DAiS idea - I’m aleays keen on the idea of reskinning rules, and this seems like a great candidate. I’ve been revisiting your blog a lot recently - I’m on a 28mm Rogue Trader-ish kick, and your stuff is a major inspiration.

I particularly like those imperial army conversions - early guardsmen were the best (though I’ve got a soft spot for the original metal Cadians).

axiom · « **Reply #914 on:** June 06, 2018, 07:53:19 PM »

I agree, I'd much rather use a slick ruleset across settings than use a clunky genre specific ruleset. As long as it's Rogue Trader ish

I like the early Guard too, although my preference is for the ones in fatigues to the skinny-legged oddball first releases.
