Rogue Trader Rainbow Warrior


Iacton

Recommended Posts

This model had been sat on my painting box for about 6 months, 1/2 finished and looking a little forlorn. I lost interest due to several other projects being more inspiring and due to the fact that these old RT models are lovely in terms of posterity, but not great in terms of quality.

 

It's not done to my usual level, but I did experiment with OSL for the head lamp.

 

Anyway, I intend to revisit the old paint schemes from Rogue Trader, especially looking at the Badab War, and so once there are a couple more done, I'll collect them up . But for now, enjoy :confused:

A good paintjob there...

 

What happened to the Chapter, they're not in the codex I've had, and I have to admit I've never actually heard of the Rainbow Warriors (never been brought up in any Space Marine related conversation I've ever had)

I'm with everyone else - love the light effect!

the shoulderpad shading is great.... untill you get to the purple which just dosen't seem to have blended aswel as the other paints.

 

Nice marine but I think I will leave my old RT (with rocket launcher) in the unpainted box.

Thanks guys.

The colour scheme is correct, at least to the old Rogue Trader book anyway - may have been ret-conned since, but the RT scheme is what I worked to :P

 

Mr N, you are quite right when you say that it is a wonder <_<

 

They do make for a bit of fun though.

Nice job Iacton - always good to see those old models getting a new lick of paint. You've done this one proud.

The scheme ain't 100% right though - the original scheme was indeed blue, but you've taken a little artistic license with the rainbow shoulder pad

 

Hope this doesn't cause probs....

 

You doing more of these guys?

 

Cheers

Inspirational paint work!

 

I particularly like the rainbow shoulder pad. Even if its not quite like the original paint scheme, it looks very nice.

 

I'm tempted to steal that idea for my Rainbow warriors. (maybe just the veterans though as I've already done the tacticals with blue shoulder pads)

I don't plan to do any more Rainbows, and the idea of a rainbow pad has been itching at me for years! I have all of the old books, so my plan is to paint a few more of the slightly more interesting and characterful RT marines in the colour schemes in RT and the supplements.

 

Kapitan Montag, please steal away. It would be really nice to see the idea carried on for lots of models :sick:
