After the Death of Warhammer, I started painting and writing down my own ideas for an alternate timeline/background that I refer to as Althammer. I entertain myself with the wordplay of alt being "alternate" as well as "old".
So I'm finally venturing back to the world of sci-fi. I'm think I'm going to keep this plog separate from my fantasy stuff.
Although I loved the concepts of Rogue Trader, the rules always seemed... difficult. For me, the heyday was small scale games of 2nd ed. which started to lose their appeal as the larger scale, tournament focused games of later 2nd ed and 3rd ed became the standard. That's as far as I got in 40k. I loved the original Necromunda, and more recently enjoyed some modern Kill Team. (Also bought but have never played the Shadow War retro-munda rulebook.) I'm also looking into several alternate sci-fi rules -- in particular solo rules like Five Parsecs. One of the frustrations of post-Rogue Trader 40k (for me) has been the rigid adherence to cliche & "canon."
Thus...
Alt Trader: In The Grim Darkness of the Future, I Do Whatever I Want.I think I summed up my revelation pretty well on my blog.

GOTHMOWER is a pretty strong contender for the name of my project and may replace Alt Trader.
Lately, though... I started painting!
Testing out the one paint style for space elf pirates, the crew of the Cold September.
Starting to paint the Meat Hating Robot Pirates, including kitbashing a kids yogurt pouch cap into a flamethrowing hoverbot.
Also, demo-bot is still here and waiting for action.
