something like two weeks ago, i've started a new project, and i figured i'd keep a WIP thread to keep me working on it (work great last time).
I'm building an inquisitor plus retinue.
I wanna enter them into the squad cat at GD some day, so i based the weapons around the BA honour guard
I'll be painting all the models in the squad in a red and (off-)white, with a (greenish) blue as a spotcolor troughout the squad.
I'll be mounting them on a (cd-sized) urban/industrial scene
so, without further ado, I present you with:
Inquisidor Valdorius
View attachment 4584View attachment 4585View attachment 4586
I tried to get a dynamic pose, as if he's running towards the action.
I've used Tau legs (characteristic features have been removed), Imperial Guard arms (incl. a rebuild and repositioned bionic arm), Sanguinary guard torso and wings.
But i found the backpack to be too large in combination with the guard arms, so i changed it out for some eldar bits and a bit of greenstuff.
I don't know exactly where i got the head from, but i like the intense look it has...
"The Savant"
View attachment 4587View attachment 4588View attachment 4589
A standard FW DKOK Quartermaster hanger on, nothing to change here
"The space marine"
View attachment 4590View attachment 4593View attachment 4594View attachment 4595View attachment 4596
The only SM-scale model in the squad.
But with a Kroot had to add a twist.
BT armor and right arm, Sanguinary Guard shoulder pads and legs.
The left arm bionics are scratch built
As is the weapon.
I've removed the SM-backpack because i've always disliked it's bulkyness, but maybe i need to add something to replace it....
I've positioned him to be jumping/pushing off from a space marine statue.
The statue (and the base) have been weighted to balance the mini (don't touch it though... it'll fall over XD)
"The sniper"
View attachment 4597View attachment 4598View attachment 4599
One of the Vostroyan sniper models.
but I've ground away the pouches and stuff around his belt, and plan to either add other stuff or clean up the area with greenstuff.
The gun will be replaced with a scratchbuild IG sniper rifle.
The cape comes from the IG command squad sniper, emptied out and cleaned up.
the idea is to paint this seperately from the rest of the mini, so i can paint the inside with something like a freehand... visible running all the way behind his back...
the outside will be painted with an urban Camo scheme, with a spot color aquila.
"The Techpriest"
View attachment 4600View attachment 4601
the IG techpriest, with a SM backpack and scratchbuild servo arms (needs detailing i know)
I'm also trying to decide between a huge hammer or a huge scythe (a thunderhammer in gameterms)
So, that's the gang, i'll be working on them in the coming weeks and months and I'd greatly appreciate you guys' input. though i might need some time between pics... these have cost me about 20-30 hours so far...
I'm a perfectionist, and I try and get my models to be as perfect as i can, so if you have any comment (no matter how nitpicky it is) please post it... anything as long as it's constructive
for now, good night.
