I recently finished up a squad of Retained Knights from Alternative Armies. You may remember that I did half this squad as an entry for the last LPL.

I will be using these for Rogue Trader 40k games and other Sci-Fi gaming and I'm really happy with how these Old Olley sculpts have help up and still hang onto some of that RT feel.

Attached are a picture of the entire squad...More detailed pics of the Retained Knights can be found on my blog: http://bluesmarauders.blogspot.com/2014/11/retained-knightscompleted-not-space.html

...as well as a shot of the squad on BullDog Lopez's excellent RT table during the Oldhammer in the New World event.

...and while I was at it I got a picture of the Muster troops (also from Alternative Armies) on the same table because it was just that cool!

Cheers,

Blue

That is the nicest I've ever seen those sculpts look! Excellent work, now I have to get some myself

Marvellous. I've still got a ton of these lying around, but cannot decide on a paint scheme to use. But your choice of removing the cast-on bases looks really good - those were, IMHO, always the weak spot in an otherwise solid range.

Love those old minis! And your colours are nicely subdued, but smooth and rich. Ace!

Very nice work. Oddly enough, I've started using the Dreamforge Eisenkern troopers as "Not" Retained and Muster for my Firefight games.

Great models and paintjob!

I like how you put them on GW style bases. I chose to put mine on the lipped bases, since I thought they would be too large for the GW bases and too large for the Rogue Trader miniatures in comparison.

They fit the bases fairly well...some of the knights have a fairly wide stance and their toes hang off the edges...but that doesn't bother me at all.

Thanks for the kind words all! now I just need to get a game in with these guys!

Cheers,

They definitely have the Rogue Trader look. Makes me wonder what they would look like painted up as old-school Crimson Fists. Just sayin...
