A Rogue Trader's Retinue (Beastmen) [PICS]
« on: February 26, 2013, 10:59:02 PM »
Hello all, I'm pleased to announce that my Imperial Beastmen have been published in the Combat Zone Chronicles. Read all about it here:

As usual, I have some extra pictures for you to enjoy:















Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
Before the storm begins

You've brought out the character those beastmen really nicely, and your trader may have sold me on the Spacelords range as a whole.  Good stuff!

Thanks all, I'm definitely sold on the spacelords range. I haven't ventured out of the beastmen and civilian ranges but I think I may in the future. They have a great sense of character about them that I love!

Those look great!  It's too bad GW struck all these fun figures types from the 40k universe.  Good to see other companies are producing figures that can be used a replacements.

Very nice!  I used the same batch of Metal Magic Phagons for my Rogue Trader beastmen, way back in 1991 or so.  They are such great models!

I think what's great about your use of the Metal Magic figures is the scale difference between them and the GW Space Marine. The Space Marine looks properly large and imposing next to them, as he should!

Brilliant painting, too!

Very nice Pil, they have some true RT era flair to them. They really some lovely minis, after having seen both yours and Jonas' version, they do look rather tempting.

In an era where 'true scaling' is common amongst 40k, it could be interesting instead to true scale guardsmen and the like using true 25mm minis, instead of 28's.

Yes. Metal Magic work well for this. Denizen Sci-Fi, old GZG 25mm stuff.   Anything else come to mind?
