A storm is coming

Here's the first four stormtroopers painted and ready to take on the enemies of mankind (or the enemies of the inquisitor in command...)





Coming up is the sergeant (I refuse to use the word "tempestor" ). Trying out some variant heads inspired by Krauts article:




Not sure which way to go yet...

  1. Very nice work!
    I wasn't too sure about these when I first saw them, but now I've looked them over I may pick some up to make some Adeptus Mechanicus troopers.

    1. That would probably work really well - gicve them cowled heads and convert the lasgun into something wierd.
      I´m anxious to get another box and start playing around with them a bit...

  2. I love the grey with metal highlights on the armour. Consider that stolen! ;)

  3. Awesome work. I just noticed though, that the lasgun powerpack cabling is WAY too big. Those guys would be tripping over it and getting it caught on stuff all the time.

    1. True. It´s a bit on the lage side. But on the other hand the lasguns themselves are as big as the stormtroopers which would also be rather unsuitable for commando troops... I might convert the next batch though and replace the cables with new, less clunky, wiring.

  4. You should use the first head for the sergeant, this one looks great!

  5. The hooded head gets my vote. Keeps with the Inquis-vibe.

    Troopers are super cool mate. The green is lovely with the slate grey armour.

  6. Jag håller med de två första- huvudet med huva ser bra ut. Men kan säkert finnas andra som passar. Snygga färger!

  7. The cultist head looks pretty awesome. You've inspired me to pick up a box!

  8. Pure WIN mate - I love them - well done.

    ON the alternate heads, the last one is the one that stands out for me - reminds me of the Infinity Ariadna Spec OPs model.

  9. Off-Topic - Please do more of those Rouge Trek 40,000 figures! They look great, and I want to see what the Eldar advisor looks like! And how about parts lists for each figure - I'd like to try building my own!

    1. Yeah I should get back to that... I have a bunch of converted redshirts ready to be painted...
      I wasn´t happy with the Kirke conversion so it got scrapped, but the new commissar model might serve as a base for the captain.

  10. These are really great! They'll fit right in with the rest of your weirdlings :) You really master the use of blue as a spot colour!
