[Muster] - Star Scorpions Rogue Trader Marines

Okay with boredom setting in on painting only undead for months I have decided to paint a mix of minis by skipping between of armies as and when I feel like..
For fantasy I will continue to do the undead with the thinking that as I have started I should carry on really.
For side-tracking I will try to focus on my Necromunda minis. I have most of them and they will be good for small bursts.

This muster though is for my Rogue Trader Marines.
I recently finished getting the set.. 1 of each of every rogue trader marine release and I even have 2 unreleased minis from the era too.
The hardest to find was a set of the transition marines but now they are all together.
I am still looking to fill a few gaps for an army but as the collection goes its done..

My spares have gone to into a grey knight force alongside a set of the grey knight terminators..

Anyway a bit about the colour scheme and chapter painting. I will be doing them up as Star Scorpions. The chapter is the same colours as the Mentors. The Mentor Legion background in WD98 described the Star Scorpions as having bad gene seed and could not replenish the chapter stock. After a while the emperor decreed them dead and 1000 years later the Mentor Legion received their colours and chapter number of 888. This is where the background seems to stop..

I thought this would be a great place to start as I like the Mentor Legion colours but the back story means only 1 or 2 squads ever get deployed and only alongside another army as an elite cadre.. The Star Scorpions last hurrah though will mean I can field a full army in these colours..

Anyway here is a pic of what I have got myself into. More will be on the blog soon.

Thanks Asslessman :)
A little insane yes.. but when you put it beside my sets of renegades, eldar and hybrids plus near complete sets of squats, orks, imperial guard, imperial pirates/adventurers it does not look too bad ;)
I am slowly working on a complete rogue trader set and was doing well until I got the fantasy bug from seeing Pils undead online.. After that it was the Oldhammer forum that slowed me down and 10 months later I am just getting back into my Rogue trader minis properly.

Lovely stuff, and thanks for inadvertently answering my yet to be posted question about what the hell this weird lizard with a saddle I found in an old box is.
