So it begins - Welcome to the dark world of Inqu][sitor...







WIP Inquisitor - as yet un-named, possibly Ordo Hereticus - comments?

[MaxSigmund]

Very nice work - just give him some more bling to add detail and he'll be a great conversion! Will be following this with interest :chrome:

[Hushrong]

A great looking conversion! I need to see this guy when he's complete.

MaxSigmund, Hushrong - Thanks for comments and suggestions - I really appreciate it.

I plan on breaking my old habit of building endless legions of marines (well, 12 really... and a big-ass stalker engine - see my Legion of Thorns) before painting - this will hopefully be a build one, paint one project.

Elsewhere I've been asked for a parts list:
Old metal Khorne Lord body, a Wolf Guard head with the hair filed off, Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard hand-melta turned into an inferno pistol, Chaos Knight's shoulder pads, a Terminator tilt-plate on the back, Chaos Marauder Horsemen axe head and the forearms and axe haft are all that remains of an old metal Chaos Chosen.

Still to do:file off rest of Khorne symbols on skulls, cable run from backpack to inferno pistol, and bling the chest!

Thanks again for looking!

His chest a very featureless at the moment. What do you plan on doing with it to make it look like an actual chest?

DarkSoldier - I plan on testing a brass-etch eagle on his chest, and if that doesn't work... mmm - I'm a little annoyed with myself for not leaving the cool cross-belt detail that was there, but I can rebuild it with GS if needs be (I think).

[AtmanAbecedarian]

Nice work Lamby. Makes me want to get back to my little ][ plog. Looking forward to more of your conversions.

[Nasha]

Nasha - Thanks... Sorry to disappoint with the 28mm, but it's a case of more bitz available at that scale for converting, and GW is cutting the specialist 54mm range

[Nasha]

Yeah i noticed that mate. Good job ive got 35 of em haha. Ive gpt nothin against 28mm just dont see alot of 54mm nowadays. Keep it up though buddy cus he looks awesome

Nasha - Thanks again - and that's some haul of 54mm you've collected!

[Nasha]

Haha yeah, just wish i had the energy and patience to paint em all lol

[Lamby]

Rough rebuild of the chest strap (from original model) added some pouches, strap still needs some detailing - what's the verdict?

[Lamby]

Added a purity seal to one shoulder pad to add some asymmetrically...
Added a small ringlet to the haft of the axe...
Added a cable to the inferno pistol...


That's it, I think he's done - ready for paint!

[Hadriel Caine]

Very cool, Lamby. Great combination of parts. He'll look totally unique.

[Keravin]

As I said over on AB I really like how he really feels like a stocky well travelled guy compared to the usual killing machines that use that body.

Hadriel Caine, Keravin - Thanks! I hope the paint job will do him justice.

Meanwhile, WIP - Kroot sharpshooter:

Would a Puritan Ordo Malleus Inquisitor employ a xenos?

And - weapon up, taking a shot?


Or - weapon down?


Going to add a hatchet somewhere, possibly on the back-strap or the right hip (opposite the knife) ... or a holstered pistol maybe?

[Nasha]

Puritan ordo malleus? Probably not...but the mini looks cool
i prefer rifle down i think

Nasha - Thanks!
So far there's 2 votes around the internets for rifle down.

I found this snippet:

While most Kroot are seen fighting alongside Tau armies they also operate separately either working as a large kindred towards their own goals or working as mercenaries for the highest bidder. While they are uncommon in the Imperium and generally frowned upon by the Inquisition it is not unknown for some more radical Inquisitors to employ single Kroot for their impressive field craft abilities.

Definitely going to make him fit into the retinue somehow - perhaps as a slave-indentured bondsman to the Inquisitor, who was a fire-breathing Puritan in his younger days but is mellowing somewhat in his older years?

[Nasha]

Yeah that sounds more feasible bud.
My ordo xenos inquisitor has a kroot in his aresanal...although Kraoknar doesnt see any action since he was shot in the head by a witch hunting puritan uaing a bolt pistol...shame too as he was pretty handy in a scrap
