Rogue Trader Space Marine Army Update

Sorry to bore people with this post again but I accidentally deleted this the other week thanks to my tablet dicking around. I'm sure there's a way of retrieving it but I'm not clued up enough on that front.

Anyway, here it is again....

Rogue Trader Chaos Traitor Terminator Lord

Several years ago I did make a start on a Rogue Trader Chaos Renegade army, of which one day I shall post some up on here but meantime I have knocked up a suitable army commander which is one of those figures that I have been meaning to get done for a long time. This could well pave the way for more renegades in the near future.

Marienburg Mordheim Warband Captain

 I've been toying around with a Mordheim warband for a while now and have finally got round to making a start on it. I decided for Marienburg so I could opt for a reasonably colourful scheme.

First up is Dieter von Drackenburg, Captain of the warband. Thanks to Jon Boyce, aka Axiom from Magpie and Old Lead for trading this great fig of the Marauder Empire series with me just a few days ago. Bet your Genestealer Magus isn't finished yet! :P

 Will be posting up more of the warband members in the near future.

Dieter von Drackenburg, Marienburger Captain

Citadel Dwarf Major Hero (White Dwarf Limited Edition figure)

 Okay so I know it's The White Dwarf figure but I see no problem with painting him up in whatever colours you like. He makes the ideal generic Dwarf Hero.

Years ago I painted an Elric figure as a Mordheim Warband leader. Perfectly acceptable in my opinion.

My Top 10 Favourite Miniatures of All Time

Right so this is my top 10 list, which I did put up on the Facebook thread plus Axiom's blog. Also, thought I'd add a bit more info on them plus some pictures.

C33 Chaos General

Sculpted by Alan or Michael Perry from the excellent Adventure Packs range that had a foot and mounted version. I first laid eyes on him in the 3rd Citadel Compendium. His appearance is spot on and it just sums up that Ultimate leader of Chaos feel. Never saw him in the shops back in the 80's for some reason and had to track him down with some difficulty during the fofollowing decade.

C33 Chaos Hero

See above really - another Perry sculpt. A wonderous characterful figure that with the General and the Champion and Knight make a mean unit when amassed.

Chaos Battering Ram

I have championed this a great deal of late; sculpted by Chaz Elliott. It is a marvellously bizarre creative piece from the Arcane Monstrocities range that is increasingly rare to get hold of these days.

Dwarf Juggernaut

Another Arcane Monstrosity, this time from Tony Ackland. 

Again, much coveted by yours truly it's remained a highly popular piece which is pretty tricky to assemble. 

Chaos Ogre

A classic Jes Goodwin sculpt from a range in which every figure was top drawer. Like most of this list, I first saw this in my beloved 3rd Citadel Compendium. 

Gladiator Ogre

Another Goodwin classic that i just had to have the moment I first ever laid eyes on it. Its versatility enables it to double up as a Blood Bowl player.

1st Edition Blood Bowl Ogre

Sorry if this is getting a bit samey. This one is actually a brother sculpt to the one above and was released a year after. Sadly it never made it to the big catalogue changeover in the early 90's; perhaps due to having a slotta base and not designed for a 40mm base.

Rogue Trader Marine

(middle)

A brilliant range just brimming with character and none more so that this fellow. Going under the name of Brother Napier in White Dwarf, he looks the business. So cool is he, he even manages to get away with sporting a flat top with tied back mullet.

Gladius

One of the Heroic Fighters of the Known World.

Another Jes Goodwin classic. His helmet alone earns him a place

in my top 10.

Tuern Redvenom

Jes Goodwin once again. When the excellent range of star players came out in 1988, Tuern stood out above the rest. I have lost count how many times I have painted him over the years.
