I just made up a sm out of boredom. The intentional idea was something like a roque trader, but it kinda looks like a badass spacewolf Oo
Give me some feedback and ideas to convert it maybe more to make it look more like a roque trader.

Yep what you have there is your classic duel bolter wielding Space Wolf badass.


If i had to make him look less like a Space Marine and more like a Rogue Trader i would do the following.
- Remove the backpack and fill down the square bit its attached too.
- Remove both bolters and have him wield some non Space Marine weapons. Maybe a cutless and old flitlock pistol. Or maybe give him a choas marine plasma pistol. From memory they have all wires and tubes modelled on so they look a lot like the kind of Archotech a Rogue Trader would use.
- Give him a cape. Capes are badass.
- Whats really going to make him seem like a Rogue Trader is the paintjob. If you paint his armour with all intricate swirls and lovely stuff like that he won't just looking like a bog standard Space Marine.


Otherwise if you were to use him as a Space Marine/Wolf he would look awesome in any unit.

i see your point Snrub. Removing the backpack and giving him a cape is a great idea. i think that would do much for his appearence.
the dual bolter thing was the main idea of all. i like the idea of a roque trader who got 2 of these things by trading and/or looting space hulks and things.
i have already the idea for the paintjob. but at first i want to do make him look nice. and i think i add more things on the base. he looks like he is fighting and he got a big base, so i think he will fight something

edit: while thinking about it he would totally fit in a small diorama fighting maybe some tyranids... or a snow base with arctic flavour

i took your advice, removed the backpack and enhanced him with a cape and some chainmail. i think he looks much better now.
nevermind the red dots i just cut my finger ...
