Scoudrels and Scenarios...

Following on from my sinister mostly bionic inquisitor I have painted a couple more models inspired by a certain series of "science fiction" films.

These models and more that I have planned are part of a plan I've been formulating for a while. This involves a (possibly solo-play) Rogue Trader scenario that I actually might be able play, inspired by the aforementioned film series.

This is partially driven by my lack of much in the way of terrain on which to play a game, and not really having any space to store terrain if I were to try my hand at making any. I do however possess a copy of the old GW board game Ultramarines, with its fit together board sections (as well as some additional ones from old issues of White Dwarf). As such the scenario involves using these board sections to play on.

Anyway these ideas are only partially formed at the moment, so on with the models. These are at least part of the crew of the Perennial Sparrow.

A pair of scoundrels

Firstly is Hanz Ollow, the captain of the Sparrow.

The colour scheme is based on his getup in the second film which fitted best with the clothes the model is wearing.

Complete with yellow trouser stripe

And his beastman first mate Broo'Chakka.

I tried to get some of the variation from very dark to bright browns on the fur, although its only really noticeable on the head. Originally I tried out a bone colour on the horns and hooves, but my shading didn't really work out and after checking out some pictures of actually goat horns and hooves I switched to a brownish grey base colour.

Tried a dark red drybrush over the teeth of the chain dagger.

Still need to acquire the model for one of the other main characters, if I can find one at a reasonable price. And some suitably well-armoured minions for the Inquisitor.

Till next time.

Jabberwocky...

I certainly seem to have found a rich new strain of motivation for Oldhammer of late and have managed to continue painting up more models.

Although one of these is a bit of a cheat since it was technically already painted...

The first is a old C29 Jabberwock, a model that I have had for years (and previously seen in a previous post) the reasons it was acquired are lost to the mists of time.

It was originally painted in its somewhat eclectic colour scheme by my late elder brother and as such I didn't want to repaint it so all I've done is give it a few washes and some highlights (and a coat of varnish), eventually I'll probably mount it on an base once I have one of a suitable size.

Also painted this week was another Imperial Inquisitor. This one inspired by a certain other science fiction character. Although I bought the model especially for this purpose on seeing it up close I can't help thinking the designer may have also drawn inspiration from the same source...

Although not desperately visible in this image I painted the inside of his cloak a dark red just to reduce the amount of black on the model, for a similar reason I went with making the bionics metallic.

I'm currently working on Pilot Rav from the Adventurers range and Beast-Trooper Gaxt as a pair of roguish scoundrels.

Till next time...

Final Arbitration...

So I finally tracked down one of the two remaining Adeptus Arbites that I don't have and decided to get it painted up to go with my existing Euphoria Precinct.

And so presenting Arbitrator Rhodes.

He's painted in the same way as all the earlier ones.

And the whole Precinct together.

The only one I need now is the second edition Champion.

Till next time.
