Hello folks,
I’m not dead!
I’ve been absolutely swamped recently, and hobby time has taken a real knock. I’ve also decided to take a dabble in 28mm, especially Oldhammery-flavour Rogue Trader and conversions of Pulp minis.
Here’s the first 5 I’ve managed to get finished. No major high concept foe these – I wanted to ease myself in by just getting a few good minis off the bench.
Here we have a drunken pilot (a conversion of a Pulp minis Russian Sailor). Something a bit odd going on with the matt finish on his pants in this pic – no idea, doesn’t look like that in the flesh.
I altered his head, and toyed with taking the bottle away, but I thought a drunken pilot might be useful.
Another Pulp conversion here – now the Captain of a trading ship.
Next, just a simple adventurer from RT601. Love the contrived poses of these early Rogue Trader minis.
And another!
And a final Pulp minis conversion – converted with only his paintjob!
‘Scuse the pictures – really must get my photo set up back up and running.
Blades and Blasters 
The RT adventurer is just awesome. I love the pose too.

It’s just so ridiculous and contrived (I assume because of the casting requirements they had then), but that’s the appeal for me of most of the Rogue Trader range. And the faces!

It must have been the casting requirements but I like. And the faces, like you say, were … well I remember this wounded Space Marine, he looked Edvard Munch’s The Scream. All part of the charm.
Great work on the whole crew.

Very nice! Never played Rogue Trader, but keep hearing it mentioned (especially with the upcoming release). Love of the looks of the minis, great old school scifi feel.

Thanks very much. I like the rules – Id much rather play Pulp Alley now though.
