One of my side projects that I dip into now and again is my Rogue Trader era Orks. I always keep an eye on EBay and managed to pick up a few extra figures. First up are 2 heavy weapon figures, both armed with heavy plasma guns.
Next up was a find, 6 partially painted figures which included the 3 command figures for the Ork Raider boxed set. This brings me to 3 completed sets with a couple of spare troopers. I basically just finished these figures off for speed.
Now I did a re-fight a few years back of the Battle of the farm scenario in the back of the rulebook. I had to use my Black Templars as l didn't have any Crimson Fists. Now it was time to correct that after committing to run a Rogue Trader game this week. So a rummage amongst the unpainted pile of figures produced 20 marines. With only a couple of days to go these got a pretty basic paint job, but good enough to satisfy me. Now I can run a mini campaign on Rynn's World.
The force is made up of a Captain, an assault squad and 2 tactical squads. All are under strength which helps depict the state of the Crimson Fists during this war.
I still need to source some decals for the shoulder pads. I do have some but cannot recall where l stored them.
I used to have most of those orks, lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteCheers Fran. Think they were the best Ork range they produced
DeleteSome classics! Great stuff. Rynn's World is a great setting, and our group has enjoyed many games based on the "Battle At The Farm". Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCheers Greg. The plan is to run a mini narrative campaign at the club
DeleteReminds me of how much RT era stuff I have myself. Looking good!
