tempting as it is, i believe it skip the space marine competition. most boring comp so far - like there isnt enough sm's at this site already!

starting another 54mm mini instead, this time a GW miniature: Quovandius from the Inquisitor game. dont mind the lousy gw images, they surely dont make him justice. cool mini irl!

first out is the base, no - its not a chair :D but a sewer pipe - at least i got some practise with the rats big base. its just the beginning and much stuff will be added.

Great base Stefan, no doubt you'll have this fella done in no time like you did king dead lol. I had a look but couldnt find much about this guy. Make up your own stuff for him. It'll be better that way!

Glad to hear you won't be entering the space marine competition - everyone else stands a chance now lol :p

thanks!

lol half pipe!

TomasP; its bricks bought at the famous 'bay; these ones! a bit expensive but great stuff.

dfb, the beauty with the king dead mini, or all Allans minis, is that they are not bombarded with details. make them nice to paint and dont thake ages to finish. i suspect this one is going to take way more time to get ready, even his details have details lol
no... no space marines for me. not even chaos... at the moment..

I have a whole bunch of background stuff lurking around my house, so here's what I have on Quovandius.

Designer's notes from the Inquisitor rulebook:
The idea for the mutant Quovandius is based on the premise that he is a mutant who has been degenerated and debased by his genes, rather than mutated by the warping effect of chaos. One of the first elements I did to emphasise this was to sculpt hm as a hunchback. This would suggest that he was born malformed as opposed to being tainted by the touch of Chaos. To show that his deterioration isn't over yet, I decided to remove his lower jaw and sculpt some kind of tubular construction in its place, but he keeps his jaw as a trophy which he carries around with him - perhaps in the vain hope that one day it can be put back! Similarly, I sculpted his legs so that they appear mis-matched and deformed, the thinner leg needs bracing to keep it from breaking as he walks. The doll is a reminder of his human origin, a lucky talisman that symbolises his longing to cling to his humanity even though he is a mutant. As little more than a gutterscum himself, it was appropriate that Quovandius had a suitably verminous companion.

Fluff from the Inquisitor rulebook:
Quovandius was brought up in a slave mill on Thagra IV, raised from birth in dank holding pens beneath the machine rooms. When Traitor Marines of the Alpha Legion attacked Thagra, the slave mill was half destroyed by their orbital bombardment and it was Quovandius who seized the opportunity to lead several hundred of his mutated comrades to freedom. Unfortunately, freedom was not quite what it used to be, as the Alpha Legion conquered more and more of the planet. Some mutants sided with the Chaos followers, while Quovandius and his closest friends and kin began making guerrilla raids on the traitor warriors. When Space Marines of he White Panthers chapter arrived to liberate the planet, Quovandius and his followers were rounded up for execution, the commander of the White Panthers believing them to be guilty of treason. The intervention of Inquisitor Eisenhorn gave them a stay of execution and in return Quovandius swore an oath of loyalty to protect him from harm.

Quovandius is left handed

And that is pretty much it so far as Quovandius is concerned. Sorry - there's nothing about his banner, but I hope the general fluff helps a bit.

Funny you posted that Kat, ad making awesome bases is my main weak spot. To give you an example, i have no idea what to do with the Stonehorns enormous base. And the quartermaster corps is giving me headaches aswell....
