Space Fleet. Rogue Trader 1

 With the bulk of my Imperial ships being painted up in Emperors Children livery I wanted to add a bit more colour and story with a civilian faction.

I have several Goliath Factory ships and also some ships from Citadel Miniatures original Star Cruisers spaceship line which I plan on making up some individual Rogue Trader ships as well as Corporation Fleet. 

The Corporation fleet is owned by Interstellar Master Traders which is controlled by the Rogue trader family House Blish. The current head is Merchant Lord Jaymes Blish

Inspiration for this is the author Jame Blish and his sci fi series Cities in Flight




Thunderbolt squadron 'Traders Word' and 'Fair Wind'
The ships have been modified with extra freight capacity
I have added some weathering to the paintwork on the civilian ships to differentiate them from the military ships


Rogue Trader ship 'Brikiri Ghost'

SP2 'Warrior' Class pursuit cruiser from the Star Cruisers range with livery based on the Brikiri from the series Babylon 5



Flagship of the IMT fleet and House Blish is the Ironclad 'Almafi's Pride'


House Blish crest with Merchant chevron, Corporation logo and three golden circles on a purple background to denote their historic links to the 3rd Legion

  1. Loving the retro paint schemes! They really suit the old Space Fleet gubbins!

    1. Thanks, I have several of the old Terrain Trade Authority Books which I am using as inspiration as well
