RT Marine Camo

[spirit_light_speed]

A few squads based on these classic pieces of Rogue Trader artwork. The camo patterns were achieved with masking fluid and the bases are a mix of flock and green tea leaves

These boys have seen alot of mutants and heretics come and go... but never quietly 🤫

Yeah! Great work. Camo marines are so underrated.

Hell yeah! The odd camo colours always sold the impression of weird alien battlefields to me, so it's great seeing someone translate it onto a real miniature!

I do miss camo marines. These look great.

Love the camo and old beakies!

Don’t recognise the flanking marines in the top photo? Are they converted?

They are conversions... the lad on the left initially came with the heavy melta gun fixed on the tripod. He's been now given a plastic bolter. The one on the right was initially a heavy weapon marine but I've removed an arm and replaced it with RTB01 plastic - his bolter is also slung across his back, allowing him a nice close combat pose as he stalks Ork within the shadows
The final conversion in the other pic is a shuriken catapult- truly amazing weapons under the old RT rules - that following fire bonus goes miles!

Thanks I recognise them now! (Think I have the melta gun marine… )

You've done a fantastic job on these and the blue and black looks like a surprisingly effective camo too. And I've just had to look up how masking fluid works. Was it a lot easier than painting on the camo? I'm guessing you took it off after highlighting everything else? Great stuff.
