After some serious detective work I managed to get my hands on some Rogue Trader Imperial robots for use with my adeptus mechanicus genestealer cult. The first off the assembly line is this venerable castellan. It's my favourite of the old robots, and was a real treat to paint. I've kept him in mechanicus colours, albeit somewhat tarnished and battle worn. I figure the cult isn't too big on keeping it's machines in parade condition when it's fighting for control of the cities.
Next up is a controller for this automaton. I think a heirarch with a control panel will do the job nicely.
Here he is with a large hybrid for a bit of scale. He's on a 40mm base, so small by today's standards, but meaty enough for my purposes. Another four of his brethren will be joining him in time.
I am experiencing a tangible sense of a project coming to a positive conclusion from over here, so I suspect that you are chuffed.
ReplyDeleteIm looking forward to seeing it on the table.
Yep, it's great seeing one finally done and ready to go after all the collecting robot bits. He'll be making his gaming debut at the next meet-up in March.
DeleteAlso my favourite robot, he's just pure Rogue Trader goodness.
ReplyDeleteRed suits him very well, awesome work!
Thanks Iannick, It's very gratifying to finally have an RT robot ready for the gaming table.
DeleteGreat figure! I have a sad and lonely Castellan missing an arm and weapon - I hope to complete him one day. Love the colour scheme :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Axiom. I wanted to keep him in an adeptus mechanicus scheme, suits him I think. When this castellan arrived, he was missing several pieces. Try the Oldhammer Trading page on Facebook for missing parts: https://www.facebook.com/groups/795574390482904/
DeleteYou just made me realise it's the castellan I love best, I ove the red colourscheme as it fits the aeronautic vibe teh castellan has and the somhow japanese anime look of him. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI need one now.
Thank you sir. His head is pretty much a fighter jet cockpit. And those side boobs somehow work.
DeleteNice very ice.
