Choose Your Own Adventurers - More Machine Than Man

It's been such a long time since I did anything with the Choose Your Own Adventurers paint along with cheetor and Curis, that I'm not sure where we are with it. It probably doesn't help that this post showcases the same three models that cheetor posted about back in January 2019, so these could either be 17a, 18a and 19a in the series, or 20, 21 or 22. Or possibly something else if we're counting Curis' Inquisitor Hargen from June.

I am certain that these are the most recent figures from the Rogue Trader adventurers and other associated ranges that I have painted! Like most of the adventurers range, the cyborg and test-bed slave have been on my to-do list for a long time. These have the added bonus in that you can always include a servitor in any 40k scene and it will not look out of place - they are playable models AND set dressing!

L-R: RT test-bed slave, Talisman cyborg, RT cyborg

I added in the Talisman cyborg into the paint project (as cheetor did) - well why wouldn't you?! In terms of painting I opted for some washes over the flesh and a simple colour scheme with lots of metallic elements. Of the three, the test-bed slave is my favourite - he is a much finer sculpt compared to the chunky cyborgs and I like his (relatively) delicate cybernetic additions.

Added to the pair of Olley servitors that I painted a few years ago, these are the perfect new additions as mobile scenery in a game set in a cargo bay, or even as malfunctioning insane cyborgs that need to be hunted down and put out of action.

Another couple of RT adventurers ticked off the list is always a nice feeling too. I'll have the range fully painted one day!
