My 40k Rogue Trader Crew

[commissarmoody]

Well with what he did with the skans as a guid there is nothing to stop you from makeing your own.

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Excellent stuff.

I miss the Imperial beast men...

Indeed, I love the concept.

Em4 have the 'chagon' in their sci fi range. Sci-Fi Beastmen (well, broo).
I was considering doing a 40k army of them... Perhaps if the range get's bigger.
Or maybe i could take the 500 point rogue trader list option. A perfect enemy for my RT orks and they could be used with some of my short abhumans (SQUATS).

Joe's playing in the 500 pt. 40K Narrative campaign I have been running on Sundays. Although I am supposed to be impartial, Joe's conversions, espirit de corps, and overall sense of fun have caused me to root for him and even design a few scenarios with his unique force in mind.

His Rogue Trader now possesses the Null Stone, which will prove pivotal in this Sunday's final battle against the forces of Chaos on the planet of Sabbat-7.

And I am also the Dark Heresy GM responsible for robbing his character of his good left arm! Sorry, Joe! But that scene had so much cool brutality, it almost made up for the terrible loss! And Ink got a shiny new (or slightly re-conditioned) bionic arm--the Emperor protects!

Excellent stuff.

I think that the plastic Catachan arms would fit on the plastic beastmen. Heck, they might fit better on the beastment than they do on the Catachans.

The beastment would fit really well in a Chaos mutant force. There are some cool rules for mutant armies in the Witchhunter codex.

Not a bad idea for Inquisitor Corpulus, huh Joe?

I may have to try that!

Did these ages ago:



Stalled project, harking back to my Rogue Trader days, scrapped the human legs and went for the all beastmen look like the originals. The Packmaster is a nod to the original RT packmaster, (which I have 4 of! ).

Also...

Did a load of chaos mutants using cadian, zombie catachan and shaved down ungor heads:



They have a real haunted ghoul look to them which I found appealing!

Never finished these either!  

[commissarmoody]

Question, did I miss some thing?  is there an actualy Rogue trader list out now?

[MrHarold]

Very cool stuff... I'll have to post my mercenary boarding party up!

[fourcolorfigs]

Question, did I miss some thing?  is there an actualy Rogue trader list out now?

Nope. No official RT list. Joe is using the Witchhunters codex to achieve his ends. Additionally, within the bounds of our narrative campaign, I've allowed him some latitude in how he structures his list.

[Renfield286]

Also, the imperial guard codex before current one had rules in it for heretical organisations using the "drills and skills" rules.
the renegade miniatures and upgrade packs you can still get through forge world.
quite cool actually.

[Dr. The Viking]

That looks really good!

Nice to see a fellow someone using the 5th edition rules!


As for the rules - I'd just like to make a pointer towards these guys, who've done a couple of mini codexes  of really good quality:

Badab War:

Macharian Crusade (which includes a rogue trader list):

Fantastic stuff you've got there.  Quite inspiring......

[Bako]

You know, I may just need to procure myself some Catachans now. And some more beast men stuff.

Em4 have the 'chagon' in their sci fi range. Sci-Fi Beastmen (well, broo).
I was considering doing a 40k army of them...

Yeah. I have been eying them for some time too. Maybe not a whole army though. Too many armies of various miniature genres in queue for that now.

[cheetor]

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

Your example is fantastic.  In particular I like the Rogue Trader himself and the skink conversions.

It would be nice to play some games in the 40k-verse again sometime.  RPGs arent my thing so Fantasy Flights Rogue Trader/Dark Heresy isnt waht I am looking for.  A skirmish level campaign in the WH40k setting could be sweet however.  Has me thinking...

Thanks for sharing!
