this inquisitory/acolytey guy has been a modelling itch i have had for a few years, was originally going to make him in 54mm but the base model is so close to what i am aiming for i broke down and started cutting him up in between working on some bfg stuff. at least he can be shoe horned into my guard army somewhere

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/inquisitor/wf2_zps2250e8c7.jpg

obviously the blue tac isnt a permanent addition and his left arm is very long at the moment but what i am after here is some opinions on what he should be holding in his left hand, what i originally had in mind was a flare stick but am now considering a shutter lantern on a chain?

very loosley based on this guy

[Kierdale]

I think a lantern would be both easier to model and look more grimdark.

 

Very excited to see how he comes out.

[reckoning]

Where is that slung rifle from?

[RADU LYKAN]

kierdale- think thats going to be my decision

reckoning34- the scions kit

as was pointed out to me on this and another forum, a shutter lantern "should" be easier to paint, the light being directional means a lot less osl type work, think i will stick with that, time isnt on the side of modellers as we all know so getting a very similar affect for less work works for me

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Some truly excellent work here. I love the Savlar Chem-Dogs, so glad someone's incorporated them into their force. Masses of inspiration for my budding Guard here.

[RADU LYKAN]

while cleaning up a valkyrie the other day a delivery of bits finally turned up after i had nearly written them off, the final parts i needed to begin some necromunda enforcers/carapace vets/scions/inquisitor npcs, just grabbed the time to try out the concept and am after opinions before i dive in

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/ec3_zps44b2b90c.jpg

i seem to have grabbed a command torso by mistake, probably going with regular cadian torsos, anyway, what do you think?

[deathspectersgt7]

Hell Yeah!! Enforcers.

[Urauloth]

Holy biscuits, that heavy stubber looks amazing.

[disease]

wow. The level of intricacy is really something.

[RADU LYKAN]

thanks for comments

started blocking in some colours on one of my enforcers

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/PICT2539_zps3cfbbaa9.jpg

was a bit torn between a metalic gun or the classic red, red won out for the trial run and i think i will stick with it, hoping to get this guy finished for ammobunkers omam

[deathspectersgt7]

Like IT . 

[disease]

now thats clever

[RADU LYKAN]

cheers

 

and arbites genericfilmstarpoliceofficername is done

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/enforcer1done1_zpsc7869135.jpg

that sorts omam 7, now to decide whats happening for month 8

props to VisOne and mousemuffins on wargamer au for providing a hazard stripe base template, painting/weathering that was fun

[DarKHaZZ13]

That is an amazing miniature right there. Consider that idea well and truly saved to my inspiration folder for future reference :p

[deathspectersgt7]

A Big WIN !!!!

[RADU LYKAN]

cheers

 

a quick shout out for some help please, last night i finally built a scavvy boss/radical henchman/Haemovore/cultist leader from bits i bought long ago but am stuck on the head, i have one that is usable but i chose it ages ago and the more i think about it the more i want something different as hes going to be a gang leader i am after ideas for the perfect scavvy boss head.

 

pics welcome or even just something like "vlad von carstein has a cool evil head" type thing, need inspiration

 

cheers for any help

[Badaab]

Do you have a picture of what sort of heads you have available?  Also, might be useful to know the physique of the model before suggesting heads- because something like the bloated head from the old CSM mutation sprue might not look so great on a skinny build.

[RADU LYKAN]

it was suggested pics might help doh!

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/scavwip3_zps99407f8e.jpg

 

then this was the original head i had planned, it still works but dont think it has the right level of menace/intimidation/scare factor/awesome

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/scavwip1_zpsf0b1bff5.jpg

 

help a guy out

[Teetengee]

Great stuff. Particularly snake, freeman, Robocop, dredd, and the rough riders.

I think the head could perhaps be a little better, right now he is very much giving me a princess bride torturer feel.

[Badaab]

You have so much going on with this model already, I'd suggest something with a helmet or mask.  You might even give the Catachan medic head a try- with the right paint scheme it could look menacing indeed.

[Kierdale]

I'd suggest something from the WHFB Empire Flagellants kit. Perhaps the head with the cage-mask.

[RADU LYKAN]

have been on holiday for a bit so have only just managed to get some pics of my scavvy boss/inq henchman guy with the heads suggested in my latest cross forum sweep, thanks for the ideas everyone

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/ungorhead_zps9f793e31.jpg

i might like this more if i shave off the horns? i think they are too mutanty considering i have seen some people say that raw the scavvy boss cant have mutations, that is partly why he has the gadget claw and not a hideous crab/lobster jobby

 

the plastic clampack necromancer head was suggested but already have that earmarked for something else

 

these two are way too big but am including them for the sake of completeness, they were suggested so they are here

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/vargheisthead_zps43035329.jpg

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/bigghoulhead_zpsc46e177b.jpg

as i said, just too big

 

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/flaghead_zps79d5856a.jpg

this guy was suggested due to its creepyness but as i see me scavvy boss as biting chunks out of his foes while fighting the sewn up mouth doesnt work for me

 

next up two ghoul heads

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/ghoul1head_zpsf712b5a5.jpg

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/ghoul2head_zps2bab3e3a.jpg

i like the snarling bite your face off looks but they dont seem "leadery" enough?

 

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/culthead_zpsc97e0ca7.jpg

when this guy was suggested i thought i was on to a winner but when i put the parts together it just didnt seem right?

 

now we get on to some of my favourites, although the ungor one is still an option

 

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/manticnosferatuhead_zps60b27d2a.jpg

this mantic zombie head has a bit of a nosferatu vibe which is cool

 

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/necro1head_zps1e96f54c.jpg

this guy is pretty bitey but the fall of the hair does limit him to charging down the base rather than keeping my options open for charging down or about to leap from on high

 

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/necro2head_zps7aea08ce.jpg

again nice and bitey

 

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/imperial%20guard/necromunda/original_zps238eb56b.jpg

aaaand back to the original, i dont seem to be able to get a decent pic of this head, when i look at the actual model in front of me i think yep but when i look at a photo he loses some of his creepy evilness

 

anyway can i get some thoughts on which looks best, sorry to keep asking questions about the same model but really am in two (or 5) minds on this one

 

ps sorry to anybody whose suggestions arent here, i dont have access to every model head (yet )
