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

Do, it, do, it, DO IT! 

.......

Do it, do it (repeat to fade)

I plan to start in January, mate.
Myself and Bibbles should be heading to Oldhammer next year along with a few bits and pieces that we intend to get done next year.

And you are right: I have far too many old classics in boxes doing nowt.
Better to get doing something with them.

Happy to hear it   I love seeing people paint those old models rather than just stockpile them, even though I am as guilty as everyone else of same to an extent.

What cheetor said! Seeing everyone else's great minis is what keeps me making stuff myself. I look forward to seeing what 2015 holds for you Mason

I couldn't resist a late night painting session to paint up the pair of Chaos cultists last night. Both adherents of a Slaaneshi cult called the Cult of the Silken Veil, I present Eunuch-Cultist Moktafi and slave mutant Gron-Slom:

I'm starting to love this thread, so many creative ideas blended with nice minis and lovely paintwork.

[Cosmotiger]

The head swaps on those commissar minis completely changes their whole look. I look forward to seeing how they turn out.  

[warburton]

Great work. The bald head with the long hair on Gron Slom looks particularly depraved.

[phreedh]

Love the ork conversion! The oddly sized limbs work very well with that paintjob, makes him look only slightly mutated, not out-of-scale converted. Great job and fine paintjobs!

[stone-cold-lead]

Great work. The conversions are excellent, especially the ork body one.

[axiom]

Thanks guys! It's great you like the new figures. Trying to come up with new and interesting (or old and interesting?) stuff to paint is a lot of fun

yup I'm one of those with a stockpile of old RT era minis. I just cannot get back into painting at the moment. (not that I have been really into it for about 20 yrs, I just collect and horde  )

[pocoloco]

The new painted Slaaneshi chaps do look the part 

[Ray Earle]

Lovely conversions. Very inkeeping with Rogue Trader imagery. 

Reminds me I have a couple of figures on the go at the moment that I should post once they're finished.

Cool. 

[Mason]

And I forgot to add that we should be meeting up with Ray once there.....D'oh!

My latest figure is a bit of a departure in that he's not really a retro figure, and wasn't originally conceived as a sci-fi figure at all. I built this guy below for a group convert/paint along project on the Oldhammer forums.

He is intended to represent a Champion of Tzeentch - a minotaur with a host of Chaos attributes (eyestalks, scorpion tail, big ears, rearranged face). As I started painting him however, I decided he would be nice as some sort of alien mercenary to accompany my Chaos Cultists. So I added a tiny little tech detail to his weapon, and mirrored the colour scheme from Gron-Slom. Hey presto, it's Bro'og the Gorgite, alien muscle for hire







He's built from a host of different parts - the body is a Beast Face Miniatures minotaur, with the head from a Warploque Miniatures minotaur. I swapped the horned around and added eyestalks from a Hasslefree alien. The tail is from a Khorne fleshound and the mace head is from an old Zoat.

Oh, and he's massive!
