Although all scrappers are veterans fighters when needs be, the Cutters are the toughest of the lot. Named from the tools they use to dismantle hulks or tearing through bulkheads to get the goods, Cutters are quite adept at taking on raiding orks, rampaging tyranids or rogue security robots. Concept

Adventure Kickstarter from Skull & Crown miniatures.
The edges of the galaxy are a deadly place. Part of Thorngrim’s company of Space Scrappers is made up of stalwart veteran soldiers called blasters and clearers, who protect the company while treasure hunting, plus collecting on bounties the Rogue Trader might have procured.
Armored with dwarven forged power armor akin to the best Mark X marine suits
and armed with a variety of shooty weapons that appeal to the individual, they
are a force to be reckoned with.
“Thorngrim and Company, at your Service.”
Jorvik Thorngrim is a high-caliber Rogue Trader and leader of an elite company of “Scrappers” - a hearty mix of dwarf miners and warriors - who specialize in exploring space hulks and asteroids for untold treasures and alien technologies. Because of his status within the Adeptera and the nature of his work on the fringes of the galaxy, he is accompanied by an Astrogater called G4NDF to help explore and map the unknown.
The real reason Thorgrim became a Rogue Trader is his search for the fabled hearthcore of his clan, taken by a Void Demon that destroyed his belter colony home world. He may appear to be an adventurer, but at heart he just wants to reestablish a new home for his people. In order to succeed, Thorngrim must first find the hearthstone.

Thorgrim and Company: Space Scrappers-
So, starting a new project. I've always loved the old space dwarves from GW, in particular the original guy they did in full armor, with what looks to be a pepper box multi laser type gun. So, with the help of Drew Williams in the role of the sculptor, and Aaron Howdle as the dashing young concept artist, I'm building up a set of minis, based on a particular adventure party of which I am also very fond.
