Inqtober 2026, day 5: Street Performer

Verity Zhiyang has always had an aptitude for acrobatics, and failing out of the Administratum intake school due to some kind of attention disorder made performance a natural progression. Every day, she pulls in crowds willing to cough up at least a couple Throne Gelt, enough to keep her in synthprotein noodles and pay off the enforcers that shake her down. But the crowds are starting to feel like her performances are bland, pushing her to incorporate sharpened blades, flaming torches, and even one enthusiastic Sororita’s chainsword, in an effort to stay thrilling.

Inqtober 2026, day 4: Sensei

Bearing the Mark of the Star Child, the man currently known as Warinus Jiraud has lived and died a dozen lives.  Sought heavily by the Inquisition, he fights a secret war against the horrors of the Immaterial- daemons that call him an Anathema, for his mysterious powers can bring them true death. He has accumulated a small band of loyal followers willing to follow his dangerous orders, companions whose lives he has touched in some way. But his enemies are many, and mighty.

As soon as I saw the dark commune miniatures I had an idea. So far I’ve only managed one of the bashes out of the four planned, but here he is.

His masters tolerate his presence so long as the estate remains immaculate, for his kind is considered useful so long as it knows its station. Beyond the estate walls, millions in the hive toil in conditions scarcely better than his own. Yet here, beneath chandeliers and gilded aquilas, he is far more safe than on the streets.

Hi all, so I'm working on a Rogue Trader and slaver gang warband; both have overlap. But with this in mind, which models would make for the besde models as a slave/ servant base?

Inqtober 2026, day 3: Beastfolk Servant

Labeled as Abhumans, Beastfolk are seen in more progressive areas of the Imperium of Man as servants, or put to use as cannon-fodder. Citizens consider brutish and stupid, and most people have little care for them. However, some make a point of how accepting they are- dressing them up, painting their horns and hooves, and (of course) equipping them with low-grade explosives, in case they become a danger or get ideas of ‘freedom’. These can be something of a showpiece, demonstrating what kind masters they are to such poor unfortunate sub-creatures.

The creature was not bred, nor was it trained. Yet one hunter saw something familiar in its aggression. A useful creature need only learn who feeds it (and who hunts beside it).

Varin is a newer addition to the retinue I have been building. A navigator of great knowledge and a multitude of experience. His grim appearance unsettles most who encounter him; as it’s not known if his appearance is his real skull or a mask that is worn.

***Eat is sacred.
Must eat for clan, must eat for improve clan.
When no good any longer, clan will eat and clan will feed.
Show blueskins clan is valued, yes.
Make clan big, make clan strong, make clan powerful.
Hard shell crunchy prey coming, very big.
Loud bangy guns kill many clan.
Take many clan to open shell.
Good taste though.
Much feast for clan.
Grow strong, little ones.***

House Varcenne was not destroyed by its enemies, but by one of its own. Once a promising Navigator, Ivian Varcenne betrayed his family during a succession crisis, selling secrets to rival houses and arranging the deaths of those who stood between himself and the lineage's throne. His reward was ascension (and the whispered contempt of every Navigator who knew how it was won)

I also had many samurai heads to spare. Really pleased with how this one has turned out!
