Deep Space Mercenaries...

My recently completed deep space mercenary Commander from Heroes for Wargames and of course the Rogue Trader Rulebook.

Old lead, new resin...

The printed backpacks cleaned up and drilled to mount on the Rogue Trader marines...

Printing...

I am working away on a bunch of old Rogue Trader pieces- Marines and Renegades. After digging out the old lead and purchasing a few additions to the collection online I've found I am short on backpacks. The old lead packs are great but with some loose details and the expensive prices they now fetch on the second-hand market I thought I'd print my own based on the old design. Rough modeling in Maya and some work in ZBrush and the .stl files were ready to go. I've done a few variants...

Also here are an array of mines I designed to use in a terrain piece and some other bits I will be adding. More to come as I prime these and put them to use.

Vlka Fenryka... The Wolves of Fenris

Not being a fan of the plastic GW jump packs I thought I would convert a Heresy Era MarkIV Jump Pack Assault Squad into Space Wolves. With the new Black Library book coming soon I'm sure we will see some Age of Darkness Wolves from Forge World in the near future.

Old School Metal...

Always a fan of old Rogue Trader era sculpts. Here are 3 white metal oldies that I think still stand as great sculpts amidst the new range of Games Workshop releases.
The first is a marine in Crusade Armour from 1991. The next is a Plague Marine from 1993 and the far right is a Space Adventurer from 1988.
