Renegades & Heretics: Renegade Militiaman

I am just beginning with my forays into the world of Imperial Armour, and more specifically, Renegades & Heretics army lists. The other day I posted up a picture of my first Rogue Psyker, and today sees the first of the Grunts coming to parade.

The torso and head come as part of the Renegade Militia conversion set from Forge World, to accompany the Imperial Armour 5: The Siege Of Vraks Part 1 book, which has since been superseded by the compendium version. The legs and arms, meanwhile, are Cadian.

As with the Rogue Psyker, I tried to make this chap grubby and grimy. His homeworld of Balatha is a world built on the back of heavy industry and chemical processing, so he is dirty, pollution-smeared and... well... not very happy, I suppose...

Renegades & Heretics: Rogue Psyker

I have not had much of an opportunity to indulge in hobby fun of late, due to the arrival of a Mini-Primarch. However, I have finally gotten back on the wagon and have rounded off the first model of my small Forge World-heavy Renegades & Heretics force - my Rogue Psyker.

I absolutely love the models from the Forge World R&H range - inspired by the Imperial Armour Siege Of Vraks books. They all have so much character, and the level of workmanship from the sculptor, Mark Bedford, is absolutely fantastic.

This was one of those models where all of the hard work was already done for you by the sculptor. The details of the model almost seemed to paint themselves, and allowed for the kind of grimy, dirty look to work wonders. This really was the ideal model with which to rekindle my love of painting.
