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.

Ship's Master

This is the Ship's Master for my Rogue Traders ship. He would be the senior Warrant Officer serving on the ship. I am going to run him as a proxy for the Imperial Guard as an Officer of the Fleet. A couple other guys came with him, in the set from Ramshackle Games. I am using them as voidsmen, they would be maintaining and operating the ship.

Rogue Trader touch up

I wasn't very happy with how this guy turned out, I plan on redoing the weapons someday after I get more practice on plasma rifles and necron blades.I do like the red on the coat a lot better though.
