As usual a few good things and a few bad things but I'm very pleased with getting him done.
The majority of the figure is Eureka's Voltaire figure. I'm more of a Rousseau guy, but I don't think anyone makes a figure for him. The weapons and servo skull are from the Cadian trooper boxed set, as well as the respirator mask. The backpack and extra tube for the respirator are from Dragon Forge.
In addition to being happy with how he turned out I am really happy at how the photos turned out. I used all of my gear and knowledge from the photography course I took and processed the images in Lightroom. I'm really proud of them.
Here is the back story and stats for him that I'm posting in the Album in The Emporium of Rogue Dreams. Be sure to check out the others and see whose Rick Priestly picks as the ultimate Rogue Trader.
Abdul Goldberg! The name conjures up
fear and loathing. No one knows the true origin of this Rogue Trader,
he has been seen in many systems, never with the same crew. There are
many stories about Abdul, this is one.
Before arriving at the fringe of the
Empire, Abdul was a very zealous inquisitor. He enforced the
Emperor's will with a vengeance but carried a dark secret, he was a
psyker. At first he was able to hide his budding power. His power was
revealed as he unleashed powerful wind blasts against the heretics
who had killed his beloved acolyte, Brother Yorick. Abdul now travels
with his loyal companion forever at his side as a servo skull.
Although Abdul is equipped with a full
compliment of weapons, he is most often seen with his trusty bolt
pistol “Fatima” and his Chain Sword “Te Absolvo”.
In game Abdul has the following stats

Thanks for looking.
Looks cool. Good stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks pulpcitizen.
DeleteWonderful entry Sean, he looks superb and I love the twisted nobility you gave him, really suits the character.
ReplyDeleteI'm also ver impressed by how little time it took you. Splendid.
Thanks JB, I can crank out single figures when I have to. Still not a 1 hour paint job. The main problem for me is when I block out all else to work on the figure. I felt like I kept a reasonable balance with this one.
DeleteGood job dude, plus nice background
ReplyDeleteThanks dGG. As with most things I do, there's some glimmers of the sublime but somehow always some things that could have used just a touch more work.
DeleteAbsolutely wonderful, best of luck with the judging.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, there's some wonderful and bonkers entries. I'm just glad to have something even judged by the man himself.
DeleteVery nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy.
DeleteAwesome work Sean!
ReplyDeleteThanks Airborne, I think we need a special OitNW scenario, battle of the Goldberg's: there can be only one!
DeleteLooks great Sean very rogue traderesque
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, that's what I was going for. I feel all space pirates need to be decked out in sartorial splendor.
DeleteWow, splendid details!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I like to do a whole mess of color and metals on all my figures. I also thought that it wouldn't be Rogue Trader without warning stripes. I balked at my original plan of writing the swords name across the stripes. By the time I got to that I was tired and didn't think I could control the brush that small.
DeleteWow, I love this figure! Great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks 023, it means a lot to me.
DeleteSeriously -- I've been feeling a little itch to do a small RT or similar sci-fi (or sci-fi-ish) project for a little while now, but keep talking myself out of it. I think seeing this figure may have pushed me over the edge!
DeleteAwesome! Do it!
