Jagannath's 28mm Rogue Trader - Noverian Constabulary and Bounty Hunters 20/3/21

[Jagannath]

Hullo folks,

I've been so busy for what feels like months, but I've finally finished a few minis!

I've had to squeeze in 5 mins painting here and there - it's been weeks since I could sit and paint for a stretch, so this small 28mm escape has been a bit of a blessing actually.

Sorry about the pics, bit near the lamp I think so there's some weirdness with the matt finish which isn't visible in the flesh. Still,you get the idea.

Firstly, I finished the drunken pilot:





Then I finished the trade-ship captain:



Next, I finished this chap - converted by his paintjob alone:



Then, a couple of Rogue Trader (RT601?) Pirates. I LOVE this range - I mean, half my 15mm project has always been to try and recreate the character in this range. I'm even inspired to start sculpting my own, which I'll show off in a few weeks. I went for bright and bold colours, with a bit of foppishness. I always liked that aspect of Rogue Trader






The pose of the first chap is so good (and very silly). One of my favourites.

More to come (eventually!)

Wow, Jagannath - I am very impressed! This is wonderful!

[DivisMal]

Wahoo! Amazing colors and nice minis. This is a super cool collection.

I love that first RT figure. I had him back in the 80s, and that's the one only one that I've gotten around to buying again. Your paint job on him really pops!

Sci-Fi step one: removal of buttons and adding pouches.

In space no one can .... undo your coat ... ?

Have you never heard of Holo-zippers?!

Thanks mate. I’ve been shopping for minis from the adventurers/pirate range for a whole, and he was the first one I wanted to start!

I found the quote funny :-)
love the clean style of your painting

[Jagannath]

Thanks very much! It's not quite as contrast as it looks in these images, but it's definitely the style I'm most comfortable with.

[Hobgoblin]

They look terrific! The drunken pilot's my favourite, but they're all splendid.

I agree.
He is so full of character.

Cheers chaps - it’s a great mini originally. I’m trying to learn to sculpt at the moment and I’m copying some Bob Murch minis (as in literally just trying to recreate them) and this is one of the ones I’m trying to capture. Not quite there yet mind!

[Scarper]

Characterful, bold and bright without looking garish. Great work! Think my favourites might be the drunken pilot and the gent with the rifle - not quite sure how you've managed to swing him into scifi without making any changes to the sculpt, but it really works!

[mcfonz]

They look great, love how you are using different minis to make the group look diverse etc.

Where is this guy from?

[Jagannath]

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much! If I could I'd commission Bob Murch to sculplt a whole range of Rogue Trader style minis, I love his sculpts, so looking for any excuse to use them!

He's from this Pulp Figures pack:

Though I must admit I've bought a lot of these Pulp minis off an eBay reseller who sells individual minis.

My next update this weekend will be another Pulp 'conversion' (i.e. painted differently!)

[Jagannath]

Pilot down!

This is another of my 'converted Pulp minis - mostly just by the paint scheme.







I've got a handful of Scavvy plague zombies on the go at the moment, so I wanted this guy finished to play some solo games of the Walking Dead rules, a downed pilot seems like a great candidate for adventures!

He also marks the first mini of my personal 'mini a week' challenge - my time is very limited at the mo, so I'm aiming to finish just one 28mm mini per week, to flesh out this Pulp/Rogue Trader project.
