I am going to make a new post instead of updating the original. The only changes are that all of the parts I used for the model that were designed by me are now available on Cults3d on the link at the bottom.

On the left is a Leman Russ Conqueror proxy, and on the right is a Sentinel Proxy. Both are based off of the British WWII era Matilda tank.

The Leman Russ was edited by FreshmeatDK. I made my own conquer cannon based off the one from their STL. The Sentinel is a kit made by Meng.

Pioneers for my Rogue Trader Army. They are sourced from the Saiphan Planetary Defence Force. Essentially combat engineers they carry the hand tools to build bridges, or burn and cut through any fortification.

Pioneers with Grapnel Launchers carry shotguns in lieu of Milner Pattern weapons.

Home Lab

 

The home lab that holds the hardware for designing and printing new 3d models. 
From the top, is a Prusa Mini 3d printer on a sliding shelf
48 port switch (top of bottom rack, pointed rear)

Power supply (next below on bottom rack, pointed rear)

Dell R620 for running the Repetier Print Server

Dell R510 to act as a NAS

Custom Windows PC in a rosewill 4U chassis

The printer frame didn't line up with the slots on the shelf, so I had to make a bracket so I'd have more room to install it. It's firmly attached to the shelf now.

F60S truck update

After a few iterations, the turret came out well and I was able to print a few. The individual trucks still need a lot of painting and weathering. I got a great feed back though on how to improve and I am happy with the base truck out of the printer. Just need details to give them personality.

My Guardsmen finally have all chariots now that my Tauros Venator Proxies are all printed and painted. It's a crew cab gun truck based off the Ford F60S from WWII. #shelterinhobby #imperialguard #astramilitarum #prusamini #3dprinting

Fictional Ford F60S Patrol Vehicle

I designed this guy at 1:56 scale, it still needs a turret for the roof but I got models back from Shapeways so I am very happy I can keep moving along on this project.

Rogue Trader's Mechanical Companions

I was able to get those servitor heads back from shapeways.
They need to be scaled up as the detail didn't show as well as I would have hoped. 
I'm still happy with the final results.

Stormsurge with Chain Rail Gun

I'm pretty close to calling it quits on this Stormsurge and moving onto something else. I am working on the base, and I need to paint the ammunition drone and mount it onto the base as well. I finally posted all of my parts to the shapeways marketplace and they are at the bottom of the list.

Adeptus Mechanicus Kill Team

Three Barrel Chain Rail Gun

I just received my test print from Shapeways for my alternate weapon on a Warhammer 40k Stormsurge. It needs to get cleaned up a little bit and painted but I am really happy with how it came out. I should be posting in about another week or two with a completed Stormsurge, using the Games Workshop model, parts from Blue Prints and my own Shapeways Store. 

Rogue Trader Power Armored Voidsmen

These are the Power Armored Voidsmen for my Rogue Trader. They are all equipped with power armor made with components from the T'au earth caste. They are all trained in void combat, and are equipped to breach into enemy ships, or salvage space hulks.
Red has a chainsaw for tough doors and close encounters, Orange carries a T'au burst cannon, White has a command suite helmet and his shotgun, Blue has the med bag, and Yellow has the torch for doors that need to be melted. The standard weapon is a modified pulse carbine.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E7EG3NM is the marker I used to get the chrome. The one guys head is a ball bearing, and he likes to fall over for like no reason. I just noticed that I touched Orange's helmet, and the chrome is smugged forever now. That's the only lame thing about that chrome marker, you really can't ever touch it once it's done.

Tech Priest Detatchment

These dudes are an Adeptus Mechanicus detachment that are part of my greater Rogue Trader Army, for Kill Team, 40K, and Inq28. I have a Lextro-Maseter, a couple regular tech priests, and 10 Skitarii Classiarii.

My Rogue Trader is based out of a backwards planet on the wrong side of the Damocles Gulf with a majority of population that views the Adeptus Mechanicus as monsters who kidnap people in the night to create servitors. So he only has a very small amount of Adeptus Mechanicus troops that he can gain access too. Knowing it would be nearly impossible to gain new followers, they upgraded their Skitarii to Classiarii, and recused themselves to a geothermal power plant in the north far from population centers. They also allegedly raid villages for future tech priests.

The Lectro-Maester Tech Priest is the guy on the top left, he carries a staff for throwing lightning bolts at enemies.

The Skitarii Classiarii are like Marines in space for the Adeptus Mechanicus. "Nigh-impervious to vacuum, fitted with thick, implanted armour, and equipped with an array of implanted weaponry designed for void combat and combat in the cramped enclosures of a starship, a Classiarius trooper is literally built for ship-to-ship combat." I am just going run them as regular Skitarii Vanguards. They were made using micro art studio iron brotherhood M00015.

There are a couple other Tech Priests, they were made using reaper minis and Tech Priest heads.
