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

[Westfalia Chris]

Well, isn't it sauronic, don't you think. 

Weird beasties. I'll probably have to get one for 2000AD games, should fit right in.

[Ockman]

Those are amazing!

(but is it fair to them to be meeting Lemmy with an autorifle?)

[axiom]

Thanks folks!

@Ockman - Lemmy appears to have wide-appeal. I quite like him popping up every so often

@Westfalia Chris - I reckon they'd fit in nice to 2000AD setting!

With the new Necromunda campaign kicking off tomorrow night, I was under pressure to get my leader finished. Happily I did, and here she is (converted from the old Citadel limited edition Kinky Chaosette):

Amazing conversion and paintjob. She looks awesome!

 

[Grumpy Gnome]

Compliments on your brilliant work! So much excellent imagination, execution and inspiration. Thank you for continuing to share!

[Mason]

Brilliant!
 

That caryatid is superbly well done.
 

I bet it will cause a bit of an outburst in some parts, choppy up Kinky like that!
 

[Cosmotiger]

You really got that conversion just right. Keeps the spirit of the original, but makes it look new at the same time. 

[axiom]

Thanks everyone! The new plastic parts blended pretty well - probably because she's more finely proportioned than many of her late 1980s contemporaries!

@Mason - just one comment about chopping a vintage limited edition figure so far - I can live with that

[axiom]

Sometimes cool things just happen, and when I picked up 6 Trollgrim Spacefarers sculpted by Bob Olley (OOP from Newbold World) for £1.50 each a few months back, a cool thing had just happened!



I've painted up a pair (they're 45mm, but perfectly sized to intimidate my 28mm Rogue Trader figures), and can't wait to get round to the other four.

[Suber]

They're intimidating and look perfect for the task!

[Westfalia Chris]

Awesome. That's the kind of trolls we like around these parts. 

You know you'll need a forcefield bridge for them to call their home, now.

Puns aside, I would never have thought these to be Newbold World. I remember the adverts in Miniature Wargames and thought them to be rather uninspired Flintloque ripoffs back in the (essentially pre-internet, for me) day. Obviously I missed out big on some aspects of that range.

[axiom]

Thanks both!

@Westfalia Chris: I confess I didn't pay too much attention to the range when it was widely available. I know there were a number of other scifi figures (not sculpted by Bob Olley), and some really lovely non-scifi Olley trollgrim. I think there were some interesting things amongst it all!

[Mason]

Blimey!
Never seen them there fellas before!
 

I do like an Olley sculpt and reckon that they fit a nice niche for something a little different in your sci-fi universe, very RT in effect.

Top job and thanks for the tip-off on a potential new range to squizz at.
 

[axiom]

Thanks Mason! I agree, I reckon the trollgrim are a perfect fit for my setting

I'm currently playing in a Necromunda campaign using the new Book of Judgement Law & Misrule system. As part of the campaign, you can enter into an alliance with a criminal undertaking - I'm going to ally with a Cold Trader (smuggler of xenos artefacts), meaning I can field him and his bodyguard.



The figures are variously converted from Blood Bowl nurgle, mid-1990s Necromunda and late 1980s Eldar figures.



Hope you like them!
