Still kickin’ it Rogue Trader-style today. I’ve got three of the Rogue Trader Orks that I started painting before, alognside and after the recent RTB02 Ork troopers. Allowing myself to finish this trio was my “reward” for wading through the troopers.
As you can plainly see here, I’m still leaning pretty hard into the general Desert Camo/scavenged gear theme. I mean, given the shape of that shoulder pauldron, what choice did I have really than to paint it as one that had been scavenged and cut to be fit for a new purpose. Useful stuff, that Ceramite! At one point I was going to go into the DAK theme, given the sculpts on some of these early Orks, but it’s a bit on the nose for me in 2019. There might still be a palm tree with an Orky Skull underneath at some stage, but I don’t feel a need to emulate the uniforms – even when the models are basically wearing them, like Flamer (Burna?) Boy here. I’ve got a couple more RTB02 troopers finished, and a couple more to try and finish tonight to post alongside before we tick over into November. Wish me luck!

Great additions to your Rogue Trader Orks, the camo, scavenged gear works so well, to give a complete look

Thank you, Dave. I’m happy with how they’re looking both as individuals but also as a group. Cohesive, despite each having a somewhat disparately detailed outfit.

Very nicely done! A nice theme throughout but all with different little details! 🙂

Cheers and thanks, John. I have to do that to keep them from looking completely like clones, and to keep them a little more interesting. Even if it means they take longer to paint…

These look great (as expected) and I love seeing these old sculpts that are new to me. They have a ton of character and seeing Orks with hats on is surprisingly entertaining 🙂 Excellent job painting these and they will definitely look great alongside the other Orks you’ve painted recently.

Wonderful. The camo is a nice touch. I have the one on the left on my paint desk at the moment (and I painted the flamer guy a few years ago)!

It’ll be cool to see yours when he’s done, and perhaps we can see a Warburton Ork showcase in a month or two…?

Lots of character- like these better than more contemporary versions. Well done and hope you do more.

Thanks Mark. I’ve got a fair few more of these, though a bunch seem to have gone walkabout since I picked these ones out for painting. I am a pretty solid fan of the newer ones as well though, I have to say…

So brilliant, again, with the scavenged Marine plates! It’s really inspiring me to get some of the same era of Orks out.

Thanks Curis. If I manage, I’ve got some of my original RT Marines from my old Ultras force that I plan to do a slight update to, and fisty them up with a mix of my current painting, and the original work from the late 80’s and early 90’s still visible…

Wow, those look great. Like many others I love the scavenged gear and particularly the shoulderpad. Was that a decal or did you free-hand the Crimson Fists insignia?
