Witchhunter, Radical, Rogue Trader, Spy - INQ28mm

[Keravin]

Let me see what I'm going to do with them first. Main thing is getting one built up for the purpose I got him in.

First up the vent on the Exterminator.



Painted it won't show as much.



More work on the Enforcer. Still looking for a suitable head and also for a mace I can use for her.

Then I started on the building of the radical magos



This was to get the basics in place before I start properly sorted the robe out.

Little bit later

And moved the feet to a more suitable position I think.

A shot of the proposed radicals warband


and the good guys


Still undecided which one to take forward as the one for the Inqvitational.

[Longtimelurker]

I like it, in the last post, the top picture, it looks like the guy on the left is being cattle prodded by the guy behind him!

[Keravin]

Thanks longtimelurker.

More updates on the work I'm doing.

First off the radical Magos


Got armour to do on him now and fitted the chainsword.


I'm also now building up the rifle butt. Got a frame in place that I can expand on to get the shape I want.

Then I decided to change the shoulder pads on the Interrogator



Happier with this look. I'll leave the other arm off whilst I paint her.

[Totenkopf]

It was that model you are using for your radical magos that first inspired me to do this one.

Good stuff, keep up the good work

[Keravin]

What's that based on Totenkopf?

Work's been bonkers and not really had much chance to paint or model. I have however started on painting 2 figures - 1 for each warband.


The interrogator for the good guys. Need to decide what colour to do her armour. Her cloth is being done in a darker green so starting with cryx bane base and working up to catachan.


And the Gunrunner for the Radicals. I've started his armour off in purple as I think he likes being flamboyant and showing off a little hence his armament as well.

[Keravin]

Well I've tried a metallic finish to her armour.





Still a fair bit to do on her. For starters need to figure what to do with the shoulder pads. I was thinking a base colour and then some freehand on them. Think the green needs some more work as well.

[Keravin]

Managed to get a little done on these and also started on the good guys' Inquisitor - Inquisitor Tybalt of Ordo Malleus. I'll do a lot more on him once I've got the two on the desk done. My plan as well is to try and do some character creation stuff next week as well, particularly for the Huntress, Interrogator Serren and the gunrunner, Darrius Criid.


Serren I've not done loads on, but trying a verdigris effect which I think helps with the gold on her. Next to be worked on is the green clothing.



Darrius I'm having more issues with. Given him the gold edging to try and spruce him up a bit. It's all these flat areas I'm having the problems with. Like the shoulder pads, which I don't really want to remove as otherwise it'd just be more of the coat. Going to look around at some art and have some ideas of markings to play with.

[le Mediko]

Those conversions look really Wonderful, both imaginative, very expressive and well converted. I like very much!

[ashc]

Lovely plog, =][=28 has so much potential.

[Keravin]

Thanks very much le Mediko and Ashc. Well come June there will be masses of photos of INq28 in action as part of the Inqvitational.

Well my plans on character work (or indeed anything else) went down the pan with getting sick at Christmas which totalled the last 4 days including my birthday. Still feeling pretty ropey which is why the photos aren't great below.

I have managed to finish Interrogator Serren.


Green has been highlighted up and I now know how I'm doing the larger coat of her Inquisitor in the same colour. I will try to get some better shots at the weekend when I'm feeling better (hopefully) so I can update her entry on the compiled thread.

Whilst I finish off the Gunrunner, who is actually almost there once I figure his base and some detail work plus his backpack and trousers, I've started on Inquisitor Tybalt as I started on the green alongside Serren as I want them to work well together.

[Keravin]

Now I've gotthe interrogator and the gunrunner finished (pictures when there is that sun thing so probably saturday) I'm starting to think a lot more on background and slowly working on that. Plus I've been listening to Thorn and Talon so getting inspiration from that.

With those two done I've been starting on the next figures for each warband to get painted.

Inquisitor Tybalt has pretty much had his coat finished, but now trying to figure what other colours to work on him with. Having another look through my various picture sources for ideas.



Again better pictures at the weekend.

Then I finally finished building Morden Orbest, Nathin's Magos companion.


Trying not to do too much metallics (which can be difficult on an Admech). Pretty pleased with how the gun turned out and paint has helped a lot.

[Keravin]

Stuff's not getting worked on that fast as I'm still sick so painting hasn't been high on list of things to do. But managed to get some daylight shots of stuff.

Firstly Interrogator Serren - some better shots.



Having been reading the psychic rules and rereading Dark Magenta articles I've been doing some work on her background and rules. Very happy for example she has a knife in such an ornate scabbard which will play nicely for a Psykana Mercy Blade.


Shot of Tybalt's coat so you should be able to see the work I've done on it.


Pair of them together at the moment.

Then over with the radicals the Gunrunner is done.




Had to alter light levels to show off some of the markings and not managed a decent shot of the tattoo/barcode on the back of his head. Similarly been working on his background now.


And then finally the Magos in progress.

[Fideru]

Very nice work here! I especially like what you did with that Daemonhost, as well as the Inquisitor with the sword and claw (looks like one).

[Keravin]

Thanks Fideru. It's a claw/armoured hand. He's a nasty sort so it works well for him.

Well the two on the painting desk are slowly progressing. The Magos quicker than the Inquisitor as I know what I want to do paintwise with him. Other than that I think I may have gotten a head to use for the enforcer.




I've got parts incoming and going to try and build her a riot shield (though all the bretonnian shields seem to be sold out). I'm about half done on the stats for the good guys though still trying to figure how to represent bits of certain characters. Hopefully have up some information on Serren for example soon.

[epsylon2004]

Very nice warband! I like the very much the colors used on female =I=!!!

[Keravin]

Thank you very much Epsylon. Should have her backstory done soon.

I have been making progress on stuff whilst I spend time with my cat so here's an in progress update. Also done work on stats/characters and got an email in with Molotov to have him have a first look over stuff before I put it up.

Stuff I'm experimenting on and trying to get to work.



The idea is he becomes a different type of adept/seer. Not entirely convinced by using the necromancer arms.



The idea is a Torchbearer - an independent missionary sent to human cultures who worship dark and savage gods to try and bring them over to the Emperor.

Those two are very much seeing whether things might work.


Very basic conversion and since removing his hand I have become acutely aware the only way of making a bigger change is chop that whole arm off.


Inspired by one of the Dark Heresy character portraits in Emperor's will. Just started on him last night.

Then finally i've been looking at how to do a servo skull controller for a while. Built and torn apart a few bodies that might be suitable, but I got in bits this week and got the Heresy apprentice body which I started work with.





Still lots to do, particularly given some tech to his head, but generally I'm really happy with how he's coming together. His shortness compared to some models won't be an issue and obviously he'd get a few more servo skulls to operate with.

Other thing getting worked on is giving the enforcer a mace now I think I have a suitable one from a chaos warrior of all places.

[svinkelz]

very inspiring

your conversions makes me think of John Blanche's artworks.

Gothic, dark, futuristic and disturbing.

looking forward for more !

[precinctomega]

You remind me that I really, really must progress my own work for the INQvitational.

R.

[Keravin]

Thanks Svinkelz. Probably veering more towards Dave Gallagher and some of the Dark heresy artists in my own mind than JB.

Trying to take my mind off things. Thanks to PDH and Rise for bits. Already used one of the shields Rise sent as you can see below.



Think that gives me my enforcer. I had planned for the shield to go on the back, but the hand seems to work and I like the final pose.


Built a power maul/mace for her from Chaos warrior mace, dark angel power mace and the bottom of a grey knight staff. It's ludicrous in a way only GW stuff is sometimes.

Got various bits, but two figures i'm working on building after the recent flurry are the servo skull operator and the pistol wielding guy.

Thoughts/Comments?

[Keravin]

After a really crap week I've not done any painting or modelling. My LGS is in the mdist of hopefully sorting out a new playing space and I'll be one of the people running it, which hopefully means I may be able to play some INQ28 locally as a couple of my Warmachine players are interested in playing.

What I have been working on for a bit is character ideas - both background and stat wise. I'll put these up in blocks to get some suggestions to get them refined. As I'm still new to Inquisitor thoughts and comments are very welcome. So the 3 core members of Tybalt's puritans including Serren who is the finished acolyte.


Inquisitor Tybalt - Psyker Ordo Malleus Inquisitor - Puritan
Auspex, pistol, mesh lined robes, anointed hammer
Sign language, Psyniscience,
Psychic Abilities – Banishment/Destroy daemon

WS 62 BS 58 S 47 T 55 Init 71 WP 86 Sag 54 Nerve 53 Ld 82


Born with psychic ability Tybalt was taken at an early age when a routine scan found his ability. Taken to the Black ships he was seemingly fast tracked and then placed in the Scholastica Psykana.
Raised and become a Banisher, training under Inquisitor Karjan.
Became involved with Sister Aella, later Sister Superior, who was also one of Karjan’s acolytes.
Tybalt suspects Karjan arranged the start of the relationship or made it possible to try and strengthen his religious fervour
Aella was killed and this has made Tybalt more concerned for his interrogator/apprentice Serren, but less so for himself.
He is now taking on tasks that he might not have previously pursued.
Started onto Nathin’s path following up on mysterious psychic energy on (Need planet name)
The trail led him to (planet name again – this is where the lady who is the daemonhost comes from) and the tale of Lady Ismene
Recruited Kraye there
They are now following Nathin on the basis of collecting information and to see whether there is grounds for declaring him
Mortemer has been with him since he became an Interrogator. They established a form of sign language to be able to pass information/areas of concern etc between themselves whilst in the company of others. Serren has been taught this same skill. None of the others in his current band have been with him long enough, nor are so far trusted enough to have been taught so far



Serren - Interrogator, Ordo Malleus – left handed
Bolt pistol, flak armour (except head), blessed sword (Master crafted special rule, auto crits characters considered of evil intent (GM discretion), and immunity to being destroyed by power weapons), Psykana mercy blade
Psyniscience, Sign Language
Psychic abilities: Speak truth, punish mind

Her father was a Lieutenant in the 32nd Sabriel mechanised and Serren was placed into the Schola Progenium to be raised. A routine scan identified her psychic potential and like Tybalt she was taken to the Black Ships.
Enunciator psyker
Taken in by Tybalt for training, particularly because of her telepathy.
Tybalt took in Serren to try and replicate his training and upbringing. Trained by the Sororitas under Sister Superior Aella - if Tybalt is her father figure then Sister Aella would be considered the mother. Wears the gauntlets in honour of her tutor.
She is extremely dedicated to him, though sometimes feels he holds her back, particularly after Aella’s death.
However more recently she has been tasked with leading investigations on her own as Tybalt looks to see whether her skills are forming under his tutelage.
More religious than Tybalt
Not yet cultivated any acolytes who work specifically with her.




Mortemer - Savant - Lector
Cybernetics, laspistol
Sign language, Skills wise I’m thinking skill boosts either on identifying weaknesses, ability to relay information quickly, or nerve boosts against fearsome and terrifying (don’t want to give him force of will or actually increase the nerve)

WS 32 BS 36 S 34 T 42 Init 51 WP 46 Sag 76 Nerve 48 Ld 31

Faced with an infernal servant of the Ruinous powers, an adept is often able to recall obscure details of its nature that allows his companions to target a weakness
Slow moving, analyses scents and tastes
Very reticent to get involved in physical activity. Mortemer views himself as a man with solutions rather than the one to carry them out.
Concerned that Serren may not be ready for the responsibility Tybalt is giving her.
