Cheap Pre-painted Figures suitable for Rogue Trader

I picked these up from Em-4 miniatures recently, they are 12.25 per set of five figures. The mercenaries above are of particular interest as they were sculpted by that friend of RT, Bob Olley.

I had hoped to get a game in relatively soon, specifically the Battle for the Farm, but I won't be able to get the required Orks and Marines painted for several weeks. At least these guys (along with some Judge Dredd Citi-block floorplans) we get us playing relatively quickly.

The quality of the paint job isn't bad for the money and is a cut above the Star Wars plastics I've seen. Not a bad option for anyone wishing to quickly raise a force of pirates or freebooters.

I remain, etc

How do they match up scale wise with the RT figures?

By eye I'd say pretty well - I'll take a pic when I get home.

The EM4 sci-fi models are superb and many fit in very well with RT. Their Scavangers range is a favourite of mine.

I actually painted the gentleman scavenger the other day.

Lovely figure.

Woow, if the scale fits well with RT adventurers, it sure is a nice source ! (looking forward to photos). The scavenger range is very good indeed in that purpose.
Thanks guys.

I think the scavenger range were sculpted by Marc copplestone who did a lot of the RT stuff. The other half of the range are on his own site. Bob Naismith has some nice sci-fi sculpts at black-hat miniatures and own his own site and bob olley still sculpts and releases mini's though his ranges tend to get sold off. I think he did some Ogryns for maxmini recently.

That's possibly my favourite sculpt by anybody! I haven't painted my Scavengers yet but they're absolutely fantastic models, the detail on them is just wonderful.

If the two of you are going to be making such positive remarks about these minis please show some close ups

I'll dig them out and take some photos. As you'd expect I've not got around to painting them yet.

No problem old chap - I hardly know I'm me half the time.

I have added some pictures of Thomas Gunne Esquire.

You can find some more images at my blog.
