As with the marines I don't want them over the top chaotic with mutations but more first stage heretics instead. Rebels, insurgents, convinced they're doing the right thing. The mark of Chaos isn't clearly present yet.
At the same time I could use this squad with any other army or faction. Loyal, renegade or even alien.

I really like this stuff, it looks great!
I used to have a Space Marine chapter that were renegades as well, but not all mutated and chaos-like, just guys who didn't like the Emperor and wanted to go their own way. The nostalgia with these posts is heavy for me. Thanks for sharing these with us!

Thanks!

In fact, that's what Rogue Trader was always about for me: pirates, rebels, renegades, misguided insurgents...

I put my old Rogue Trader mini's together to form a fine renegade army.
Pre-Realm of Chaos miniatures. No bio-mech mutant marines from the Eye of Terror but Space Marines with their allies who've got issues with the Empire of Man.
The mercenaries, traitor guard, navigator and even the Astropath probaly think they have joined a righteous rebellion. They have no idea what they got themselves into. But we know better, there's something really dodgy about those Night Lords...

A navigator with his bodyguard of stormtroopers.

Night Lord renegade loonies. Drunk techno-barbarians waving the original Epic batman/hordak banner:

I love that standard bearer!

And the entire army just oozes Rogue Trader; absolutely wonderful...

Sweet beans!

Proper Rogue Trader vehicles are scratchies.

Everything about this thread is perfect

The painting, the converting, the lunacy... I always enjoy seeing the old RT mindset as much as the minis. Keep up the great work!

This is some RT goodness. I like your use of the army-men toy m113 as Rhino. I grabbed a couple of those a few years back and I've got them in my "someday" bin.

Zaku Powered Armour Suits of the separatist Zeon Marines.
Being slightly taller to the 2nd ed. monopose marines, with helmets and shoulder pads quite different, these could easily be the troopers of a small separatist empire. Using the same STC designs but slightly modified. I already had painted some of the mark 6 ones in Goldrake colours and they could be perfect enemies. Man against Man, Marine against Marine. The Horus Heresy with Manga colours.
