You've really harnessed the genericness of the Rogue Trader human armour designs – they're so under-designed by today's standards that as soon as you switch the head for a non-human one you struggle to identify the miniature!

Having a smug sleek guy with a visor in the same group as a muscle-bound, one-eyed smoker reinforces that ill-disciplined nature.<br /><br />I actually think I prefer these slightly ambiguous versions than if I'd gone full Imperial or chaos.
