Title: Another Rogue Trader thread - Update
Post by: Carpet General on 15 November 2015, 07:37:37 PM: Hi all,
I can't help myself any longer. All these Rogue Trader threads make it impossible for me not to take a trip down memory lane. Here are a couple of pics of my ongoing efforts, there are some more on my blog.

It was the statue head from the Salute 2013 plastic figure.

Yeah, he's shaking his fist and shouting something about 'pesky green skinned varmints".

I have a soft sprot for the Angry Marines too... They may be parody/jokey chapter from 4chan, but I actually think they captured a lot of the RT silliness quite well! (Er, apart from the missile launchers that launch Angry Marines. Ahem).

I think that a lot of the more recent versions of 40k marines have lost that touch of humour that made RT so enjoyable. The rules regarding squads and troop types seem unnecessarily rigid. I guess that's a consequence of larger armies in later versions.

I've started on a conversion for a marine captain, some pics below and more to see and read on the blog:

All the bits

pinned and glued

A Victrix head for a bit of character. I think my marines will definitely be talking with British accents, 'old bean'.
