Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I've been working on this guy in anticipation of the new codex. I just love this sculpt; one of the coolest inquisitors ever to me. EDIT: I have added a Sister and an Acolyte as his nascent retinue grows. http://i.imgur.com/u0WATJs.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img30/7660/b8tj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lQOR33G.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Y2y8Tef.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Great mini. Is that an Inquisitor in TDA armour? I did not think that was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks! Ordo Malleus inquisitors can take it. If I want to field him as another ordo I'll just run him as counts-as regular armor--I don't play with sticklers about wysiwyg. Then again it's a good excuse to paint up more inquisitors!

Zincite Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 He's very dark and solemn - yet not at all drab or lifeless, thanks to that checkerboard! Really nice colour balance you've achieved. Very well done. Quite inspirational. I've never seen the model. Curious. Is that how he originally came - bolt pistol and power fist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatoth Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 He is slightly modifed, but indeed that is a GW Inquisitor model. I have to say though, it is from the last Millenium! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peredyne Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 That's not a bolt pistol. It's a bolter/needler combiweapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 That was one of my first minis way back. You've done a fantastic job on him. Kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Mine too, I gave my one away with my RT termies a couple of years ago. Major mistake, oh well at least we have your great version to admire here :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I never realized until now how much that sculpt looks like Inquisitor Lebowski. http://i.imgur.com/gMjQZTl.jpg?1 Great job on him! Makes me want to get mine painted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 The head's a tad too big compared to the rest of the body and particularly the space it is supposed to fit into (but I'm guessing that it's the original head and so there's not much you can do about it), but you've done a great job with the painting side of things :tu: I love the checkered pattern and the inclusion of red as a spot colour, while being classic for Inquisitors and Imperial agents in general, was definitely a good idea!

Seleucus Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Here's the original from GW's 1991 catalogue. http://www.solegends.com/citcat19911/c2019smtraitorinqtermina-02.htm I have still to paint mine! I have used the other one with the hood, giving him the metal Nemesis Force Sword and Psycannon from the metal Grey Knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used the other one with the hood, giving him the metal Nemesis Force Sword and Psycannon from the metal Grey Knights. Thanks for posting that link! I love that website--fun to drool over vintage dwarf sculpts. Yeah, this guy definitely is proportioned like rogue trader but in the eyes and hearts of gamers of a certain age, there will never be better sculpts than this! :) I have the hooded guy too--that fellow is equally if not more imposing. I'm working on him too, but somehow I got more inspired to finish this guy. Will post him when I finish. I have a cool rogue trader space marine scout conversion I'm almost done with too. You know, the old mohawk dudes with john blanche tassels on their shoulders? The face is just too awful but I did a greenstuff re-breather that makes him look pretty sweet. Will post him today.

d@n Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Inquisitors seem like they would be a fun army as pretty much every model would need to be a conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to be my Brothers, and need to be stripped and repainted. The Inquisitor one will most likely eventually become an Iron Hand mini (most likely a "show" mini than one for games), the other I haven't decided. In any case - this Frater definitely appreciates Rogue Trader Era minis! (even if many do look tired compared to the new ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a Rogue Trader era space marine scout. Well, he's not wrong, exactly. I've seen empire bits used to GREAT effect in inquisitorial warbands. But yes, that is a Rogue Trader marine scout, with a greenstuff re-breather sculpted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
