It's Not A Home Without Neighbors
With Oldhammer In The New World (OHITNW) 2015 behind me, I finally managed to get some relaxed painting done. With the ranks of rival factions growing, I decided that the Corregidan Sector needed some scoundrels to inhabit its varied planets and colonies.
Two-Gun Jones
Two-Gun Jones is an ambitious mercenary ship captain who has only recently shown up on the radar of local authorities. Whether he is new to the sector or if he has been able to avoid detection is not known. Even though his known crew is small in number, they have proven to be highly successful and cunningly elusive.
Blaster Harris
Blaster Harris has been identified as one on Two-Gun Jones' cohorts. Although he wears the combat armor of a Whitestar Grenadier, it is not known if he was a member of their now-defunct ranks or if he acquired the armor through other more nefarious means. Either way, it marks him as a dangerous outlaw.
Cryyplah The Cruel
Authorities are not able to determine whether the creature known as Cryyplah is some kind of unidentified alien life form or a highly mutated human. Witness statements seem to indicate that Cryyplah possesses psychic powers, although it is not known how powerful of a psyker he is. Regardless, his association with Jones and his crew makes him extremely dangerous.
Uzi Suzi
Witnesses have reported that Suzi was a spaceport gang member who joined up with Jones and his crew as a way to escape the constant gang warfare that she had grown bored of. The limited security recordings that do exist have shown her to be an extremely violent and dangerous individual. Interroga -- interviews with eyewitnesses indicate that Uzi Suzi is probably psychotic.
Unidentified Robot
Even more disturbing than the violent nature of Jones' crew is that they seem to have the technical ability to reprogram and arm sophisticated robots. The crew have been observed employing what appears to be a re-purposed mining robot. Although Jones' crew is small in number, even one heavily armed robot can multiply their deadly effectiveness.
The Mysterious Blue Skins
Th Corregidan Sector is a wild and diverse sector of space, home to many rogue humans and various minor alien species. Among these aliens, a race of aliens known only as The Blue Skins are among the most numerous in sector. No one really knows where they came from, but they are seen in local markets as merchants, crew members on space freighters, and as various laborers. While the majority of the Blue Skins seem content to coexist with humans and other alien species, it is inevitable that at least handful of them would become involved in piracy and mercenary activities. Blue Skins do not have a government that is known of and are not known to be involved in political activities. The few Blue Skins that have been observed conducting illegal activities do so as members of multi-racial crews and oddly have not been known to organize in exculsive groups with other Blue Skins.

The Corregidan Sector continues to grow more diverse and mysterious. What adventures and riches await it's bold explorers?
This is excellent!

ReplyDeleteI love all the models, paintjobs, backstories ! EVERYTHING ! Damn, it's with characters as those that Rogue Trader finds all its meaning.
Fantastic! I don't remember the blue skins from your RT scenario, but the others I do. These close up shots really do your awesome painting skills justice. Something I aspire to.
ReplyDeleteLOL...thats because he picked up those two figures from me at the event!
DeleteThanks Sean, chalk it up to heavy metal and a misspent youth. And yes... I did get them from Blue... I can spot Bob Olley sculpts through six feet of reinforced concrete.

ReplyDeleteQuality stuff, love it.
What miniature ranges are the blue skins from? I don't recognise them, beyond obviously being Olley sculpts
They are from Alternative Armies. I think they are still available online. I picked them up from Blue at Oldhammer USA.
DeleteAwesome work. Love the background and the paint jobs, just full of character.
ReplyDeleteWait...did you paint these? they have completed bases? so they can't be yours right?
ReplyDelete...turn about is fair play dude...muwhahahaha...

I actually have an angry mutant midget I keep in my basement who does all my basing. I feed him skittles.
DeleteThey look great! The one thing that stands out for me are the skin tones, really smooth.
ReplyDeleteBig thumbs up :)
Thank you very much! I was pretty happy with the way the blue tones turned out.
