Jes Godwin did some ages and ages ago. You should've said last week and I would've brought his book, The Gothic and The Eldritch  :)

cheers

That's the project I'm on now :)

Here's a link to my Pinterest folder:

Thanks, Matt.
You little diamond, you.

I can start thinking about the Officers almost immediately.

That's one of the sweetest things anyone's ever said to me :)
It's not even Valentine's Day  lol

As far as troops go, I plan to make squads of:

Indentured workers (I imagine these as slaves more or less, penal troops- boarding axes, pipes etc.)
Engineers/Voidsmen (Void suit, diving helmet looking guys- use shotguns, flamers, lascutters, phase field generators)
Armsmen (Basically the equivalent of 18th/19th century marines- autoguns, shotguns, flamers, etc. I picture them as Mordian IG more or less)

The Eisenhorn books introduce 'Naval Security' which are largely described as Arbites.  

Another source of pics is the crew page in the BFG rulebook, a bunch of cyborged out crazies in that pic. I'll try to find that and put it in the folder :)

The Battlefleet Gothic rulebooks has a number of crew illustrations. But I don't know if they are available online anywhere after Specialist games got deleted from the GW page.

The solar auxilia (link) from Forgeworld might give you a few pointers as to how armoured armsmen might look.

I might still have an old White Dwarf that has a load of stuff on the Imperial Navy. I seem to recall it had a breakdown of various ranks, etc.

An arbites style troop with boarding shields and shotguns would look awesome ;)
So many projects..... so little time.......

Thanks a lot, chaps.
Plenty to work with there.
 :D

Dr M: Plenty to go with there.
I shall send you a much better message on Val's Day if you are feeling a little left out.
 ;)

Those of you that have posted links and places to go: Thank you very much!

Dewbie: Shotguns will certainly feature.
 :D

James: Free Weds-Fri, I think.
Text you on Sunday/Monday to work something out.
 ;)

Now I need to borrow a BFG rulebook and go check out some links.... ;D

Boarding shields, vital for ship actions. Even Space Marines use them.
