Axiom's Miscellaneous Rogue Trader Selection (p156: Olley space pirates & alien)

Wow!

What's the bald woman on the left from? And is the fellow on the right with the visor a GW original?

[commissarmoody]

An inspired group of astropaths.  The plant they are on mist be important to have such a sizable contengent.

[galatea77]

Excellent work dude !!! I wonder if anyone else on the planet has that many astropaths ? Love the pale skin on them all too.

[axiom]

I suspect collecting astropaths is a bit of a niche within a niche I've got more to come though!

@FramFramson - the bald lady is a conversion of this Dark Sword figure:



There's some detail on the conversion here.

The guy with the visor is indeed a GW original - he was part of the Inquisitorial retinue figures from the early 2000s - you can pick him up fairly readily on ebay.

I've been attempting something different over the last couple of weeks - my first ever sculpt from scratch.

I started with this:



With the intention of making a 28mm version of this old 25mm figure - the Interplanetary Merchant from Citadel's Spacefarers line:



I built up some mass:



Added some details and made a few mistakes:



Realised he needed feet:



And ended up with this:



He's not perfect, but I learnt a lot, and can't wait to paint him up! Lots more WIP pics over at my blog.

Oh wow, the merchant looks great! I was thinking only the other day how great it would be if the old Spacefarers range was size-compatible with RT era figures. 

[Wachaza]

For a first sculpt that's pretty damn good. Better than the original. Impressed, and somewhat jealous. 

There's a few ranges that could do with an embiggening ray. Spacefarers would be brilliant.

@Earther - I'm 100% with you - I love the Spacefarers range and wish it was in 28mm, particularly the Star Lane Pirates and jet cycles.

@Wachaza - thanks very much. I don't know that it is better than the original, but it doesn't compare too badly I guess

[Dr Mathias]

Excellent work, I'm impressed!

[Mason]

Excellent work, I'm impressed!

Me too.
 

[axiom]

Thanks guys - you know how to make me feel good

[axiom]

I've made a little more progress with my Maniac gang for the autumn rolling road campaign - this time with the addition of a heavy weapon gunner. She's a simple head swap on an old Imperial Guard figure (head is from Venus Bluegenes from the Citadel Rogue Trooper range).





As ever, more words over at my blog.

[Jagannath]

These are fantastic - I love the colour choices, especially her pants. I'm well in to funny pastel tones for sci fi.

[MagpieJono]

A cracking little gang you have there. All beautifully painted. Al a bit different but still unified. Well done.

[axiom]

Thanks guys! There's plenty more Mohicans to come

These are fantastic - I love the colour choices, especially her pants. I'm well in to funny pastel tones for sci fi.

It's actually one of Foundry's flesh paints - the Oriental Flesh Shade from the Oriental Flesh triad. It just seemed a nice colour to use on cloth
