 | Inspired by the INQ28 movement I recently started a little side project to make a Rogue Trader retinue. Every Rogue Trader needs some firepower after all! The first was the Commander last week, so this week it's one of his loyal troopers. A fellow member of the Planetary Defence Force (as is the commander), this trooper has taken a serious injury while in the Trader's service, having his entire right arm replaced with an expensive bionic limb. Normally a trooper would have to live with this injury, but not in the service of a Rogue Trader who obviously has the funds to keep his forces viable! |
I wanted this force to look different from Guardsmen and also like they had Imperium money spent on their gear, so I mixed parts from the Tempestus Scions and the Skitarii Vanguard.
They go together amazingly well - as if meant to be! I considered doing the helmet orange to match the rest of his armour, but it might have been too out there. The Skitarii helmet is just so cool! Big fan!!
Exotic weaponry would be pretty likely in the service of a Rogue Trader, so this Mechanicus weapon just added to the character of the model. His other gear, such as the pouches, I wanted to look as if it was from different sources. I think they're the best bit of the model, personally!

So here is the retinue so far. They look like they go together, so that's good.
Maybe one more trooper and then onto something a little more exotic!
