Another tough choice. The shading is wonderful, Area23 -- so natural looking you almost don't notice it. The Rogue Traders being 15's, though, also amazing!

Two very good entries from my favorite genres. Oldhammer Beakees...lovely, but i must admit, I'm stunned by those 15s - they're awesome!

I do recognize one Ikwen, but where are the others from?

Thanks both - DivisMal, yes - one Ikwen, the Rogue Trader at the back is from GZG (NSL Command pack) the rest are ESU - without camo capes except the sergeant, who is from a pack with camo capes. I thought colour choice and a chap with a cape gave them the pulpy feel I was after.

@area23 - love the Beakies, cool to see them in more earthy colours.

I like that this is a match-up between actual Rogue Trader-era Space Marines, and a creative use of 15mm figures to recreate the feel of Rogue Trader!  Well done to both.

Wow, I've been looking for a colour scheme for my Ikwen and yours is wonderful! May I ask how it was done?

[Jagannath]

Thanks! The skin is a very weird paint I bought and rarely use - Vallejo opaque 'heavy orange'. It's not orange, much closer to peach so I based with that that, a thin wash of gw reikland flesh ink (very similar in colour so the effect is subtle) then progressively added in a bit of bone colour to the base colour.

All my whites are Vallejo silver grey, Vallejo grey wash then highlighting with Vallejo silver grey up to white.

Thanks! They do look pretty cool. I need to give them a look!

You definitely should - the past year of GZG releases has been really great, Jon's doing a fantastic job.
