My 40k Rogue Trader Crew

[Citizen Sade]

I have wanted to do a Rogue Trader project since.. well, Rogue Trader.

You're probably going to like http://talesfromthemaelstrom.blogspot.com/ then. I know I do.

It's also worth checking out their earlier http://jerikoreach.blogspot.com/. The fellas behind these are an inspiration.

Thanks for the heads up.  I check Tales from the Maelstrom pretty regularly, I love some of the stuff that they come up with (and they were kind enough to include me on their blogroll too, which helps). 

They seem to be pretty flexible with the rules systems that they use to game the 40k background.  I have some vague plans to try a campaign set in the 40k universe using either Mutants and Death Ray Guns or the space opera rule set from Ganesha Games, whenever it gets released.

They certainly are.  I wasnt aware of Jeriko Reach.  I will check it out, thanks!

Thanks for posting the links. Great inspiration.

I love the old Rogue Trader version of 40K and like a few of you want to get back into it. The guys behind the "tales" certainly play the game in the way we used to in the "olden days" before points values and army lists replaced players imaginations, (as I've said before - sorry bit of a hobby horse of mine!)

I've been toying with using my back of beyond stuff in a "low tech" version, the rogue trader crew being represented by a party of "archeologists". I might now raise a new rogue trader crew as well.

Any pics of your full Rogue Trader army yet?

I did a similar thing for my 40k collection, wanting some ice/cold planet humans that could work alongside my Valhallans. The Bolsheviks (and a coupla Whites too) with hats and fur caps worked wondrously. Some weapon swaps, and some other odds n' ends fit the ticket.

Unless you meant in spirit only, and were talking about early 20th century in RT-style.

I wasnt aware of Jeriko Reach.

Me neither. Thank you.

Sorry this took so long. Here is the whole army. I only included one squad of crew, since I was running out of room in my photo booth.

Very nice, so the crew also act as Imperial Guard?

[HRE Joseph III]

no they act as Inquisitorial Stormtroopers. You wouldn't know it by the way they die in droves.

Of course, there's always more crew. 

[Luthaaren Von Tegale]

like it HRE - very "Rogue Trader".
 thanks for posting.

[Bako]

May we see a better picture of that blue fellow dead-center of the last picture?

[commissarmoody]

yeah! what do you use the troll-kin dude as?

[The Rock]

Nice Rogue Trader

[HRE Joseph III]

That's trollkin fellow is my rogue trader's xeno bodygaurd. He counts as a combat servitor with a power fist.

[Bako]

Excellent. What is the source figure?

[fourcolorfigs]

He's a Privateer Press Full Metal Fantasy figure from their role-play line.
