Hello chaps, I managed to clear the last of my RT civvies from the painting station – another C87 porter and two Rogue Trader era scribes that were unreleased at the time, but that have been produced by the wonderful people at Foundry produced from the original moulds. (These gems are available for sale here).
The C87 porter has been left untouched, but I just had to make some alterations to the scribes… the original has a ridiculous disco left arm thing going on, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to live with it… One had a food repositioned and a mechanical arm added, while the other got an arm and a few bits from the Flagellans kit and a Skitarii backpack. All were painted quite quickly, without a huge amount of effort applied – they’re ok for the tabletop in my opinion. Here’s the three latest together:
And all the retainer types:
And all the Administratum types:
So that concludes my current batch of RT civvies! I may revisit this in the coming months – it’s been great fun to do and very satisfying, but life is getting a little bit too hectic at the moment, so I’m going to ease back on the hobby front. I do have 2 models undercoated that didn’t make the cut for my Rogue Quest party (a Paladin and a Fighter), and I have some scenic bits to work through on the Christmas break, but there is definitely going to be a change of pace for the next few weeks. I hope you’ll bear with me, and hopefully I’ll have some goodies to share in the new year :-)
Well, you finish on some pretty cool stuff !
Nice conversions on those RT models, they really enhance the original model.
Thanks JB – though, to be fair, disco scribe is pretty easy to enhance ;-)
Seriously, you do them in twos, I’m amazed! Really nice work on them!
Thanks man, yeah, stuff like that I paint in batches of two or three, (though I prefer one at a time specials tbh) :-)
I really dig what you are doing, the whole project is so full of character and flavor. Keep it up!
:-) Thanks man, though I’m going to have to slow down for a bit – too much going on!
You’ve finished on a high man. They look great, as always. I hope it’s not too long before we some more awesomeness from you. I’ll get withdrawal symptoms haha.
lol – thanks dude, I don’t know about awesome, but I’m sure it won’t be long before I’m painting again, just need to get caught up on some boring grown-up life stuff :-/
Hehe it’s funnybisnt it. When I was a kid I didn’t have a lot of money to buy the models but I had all the time in the world for modelling. Now it’s the opposite. I’m a night owl and function quite well on 6 hours sleep so I model at night. It’s peaceful then too. My work is pretty full on and with kids and a wife it’s difficult sometimes to stay motivated but as soon as I start I remember why I do it. I’m lucky I have a wife who encourages my geeky little hobby haha.
Yup, sounds familiar… just think, when we retire we’ll have time and money, (or at least a massive lead pile)… but our eyes won’t work properly any more :-)
Our hands will shake too much and we’ll be too busy writing letters of complaint about those loud and disrespectful kids at number 2.
lol
Great stuff!
Thanks mate :-)
What are you working on these days Warbs? I haven’t seen anything new on yer blog for a while mate, to busy enjoying the summer? ;-)
Yeah, I know…. I’ve had a few problems both personal and professional which have held things up a bit….. but I am pleased to report that they are more or less sorted now, and I have got my “mojo back” (as Austin Powers so eloquently put it) and I have about three posts I am working on. I have been painting some old school Warhammer Empire, some Battlefleet Gothic, and of course a bit of 40K stuff too…. I have also been playing some games as well. Hopefully, I will be posting again soon ;)
Oh no, sorry things haven’t been so good for you mate :-/ Glad to hear things are on the up for you though, and long may it continue. Looking forward to seeing the results of your re-mojoification
Thanks, mate. ;)
Very cool!
Thanks mate :-)
Looking good – and great work converting those two scribes as well. Now you need some actual random citizens!
Thanks mate & good point – I’m thinking of doing a bits-box only project in the new year, that would be the perfect subject!
