I've found myself very inspired to start new projects recently, and wanted to share what I am doing here.
Firstly, a mutant rebellion. From the Rogue Trader first edition rulebook: ''Generally speaking, the form a huge downtrodden portion of the population of the Imperium. Their dissatisfaction occasionally erupts as rebellion. Such revolts occasionally allow mutants to take control of planets or even groups of planets for a short period''.
I'm using mostly Imitation of Life minis for this army. He's a great sculptor and his full range is on etsy https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ImitationofLifeMinis?ref=shop_sugg_market
These guys will be low-tech and irregular, so I want to paint them all a different colour scheme. I'm picking 3 at a time to do using limited colours on different areas, then the next 3 will be a different pallette, and so on.
Illustration from Rogue Trader:
Next up i'll show off some stripped-down-woodland-camo unnumbered-son-chapterless phobos marines who are fighting a guerilla war on a knight world gone bad. Just waiting for some basing material. After that, hopefully chaos knights, then some orks. That's the plan anyway!

Phobos marines on a knight world? Do they actually have access to Anti-tank?

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

MOar mutanTs!! these are fun to paint, and 3 at a time means I can keep a steady pace; i'll post a group shot when I hit 30.
They will all be individual models, and its a horde, so looking for some more high points value troops, was thinking of pit beasts from Urban War to count as purestrain genestealers or abominants (not my image):

I've broken ground on another new army - a squad of Incursors for my Phobos Marines force. These guys are chapterless, and fighting a guerilla war. I wanted a stripped down, slightly battle damaged look. I reduced the size of the backpacks and took off the gun scopes.
