Following on from the previous couple of slann-themed posts, I was filled with enthusiasm to finish painting all the Rogue Trader slann and get a bucket-list project completed. I've wanted to get a full set painted for more years than I care to remember! With around half the set painted, it seemed like a good idea to blast through the remaining seven figures. And here they are:
These seven slann are all from the original Rogue Trader range sculpted by Trish Carden.
As with the previous slann, I painted them in a range of colours, with dark red being the predominant colour. As Commander Xix is the highest ranking slann, I chose to paint him as an albino and therefore marked out for great things!

| Sgt. Yoitz and Olassa. |
 |
| Ixtacha, Cmmr. Xix and Xvarn. |
 |
| Quinletz and Holx. |
I still have some more slann in the works (non-Citadel figures and conversions), but I thought it would be good to show off the warband as it stands:
 |
| All 12 RT slann plus the unreleased Citadel slann, 2x Crooked Dice amphirans, Lead & Steel event mini and 2x conversions. I forgot my slann mage priest on his golden floating disc! |
This is the most Oldhammer content on the internet today! What a superb looking warband.
ReplyDeleteThat's really nice to hear! Glad you like these
DeleteThose look really cool. I love the colour scheme and the variations in the red.
ReplyDeleteThanks Toby! Really happy with those red skin tones 🙂
DeleteThat's fantastic, I love the skin tones and how they look. Terrific work
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber. More to come!
DeleteThese are awesome! I love that you mixed up the skin colors. An albino for a leader is genius...!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. I've seen a couple of other people do albino slann and I couldn't resist!
DeleteWhat an awesome collection. The albino works really well.
ReplyDeleteBill.
Thanks Bill, glad you like them!
DeleteI'm desperately jealous. I've only managed to get my mitts of three of the old Slann. They're hard to find. (Especially at a reasonable price.) Anyway, you've done an absolutely glorious job of it!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. These days they're impossible to acquire. Like most of my stuff, I picked mine up in the early 2000s when no-one wanted chunky old lead!
DeleteSlantastic!

Too right!! 😃
DeleteVery jealous, a great collection of unusual Oldhammer minis.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob, just wish there were more to go around.
DeleteSlann envy. I have Slann envy! LOL! In all my years in this hobby I only ever managed to get my hands on a single one. I did manage to get a blister pack of fantasy Slann with blowguns way back in the final days of RT. I forgot what I counted those weapons as but using the RT book army list, they were tough!
ReplyDeleteI sympathise! It took me several years to track down the full set in the early 2000s. They weren't especially expensive then, just difficult to find. I'd never even bothered with them in my early 40k days, but I think even then they were pretty uncommon!
DeleteGreat job on these. The albino chief looks splendid!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mouse! Glad you like them
DeleteVery inspiring job. I will delete your blog from my blog list to keep me focused on what i am rigth now, instead of running to the drawer for my space slann.
ReplyDelete😆
DeleteThere's nothing wrong with getting distracted by slann!!
