The plunge into Rogue Trader has begun with Never Never Safari

So I always kid Captain Crooks about Crocodile Dundee.  Crocodile Dundee and Crocodile Dundee 2 are some of my favorite movies.  If I could put some technology to use, and splice both movies together with just the Australia scenes I might never quit watching them. LOL



Anyway back on point.  I had been searching for an economically priced Talisman space pirate for some time to lead my Rogue Trader squad.  Thanks to Matthew Sullivan for putting the itch on me to get him with his lovely painting. While biding my time it gave me some thought to think of a good backstory theme.  Well there you have it  Crocodile Dundee inspired Rogue trader Force.  Welcome to Never Never Safari one of the best touring outfits of the Outback and Beyond outside Graveskul!

Drekker Dundee the Mucker- Tour guide and leader for Never Never Safari



Donk the Bull- Second in command and the muscle



Charlie- Team Leader w/ force sabre



Diamond- Trooper




Walt- Squad Sniper




Neville Bell- Trooper
Nugget- Team Leader




Teddy- Squad Tracker




Erskine- Squad Mook


 Denning- Squad Mook







 Can't wait to try them out in one of Bulldog Lopez's entertaining Rogue Trader scenarios...or is that Rouge Trader?
