Subject #19377D - Ganger acquired from Cenrisan 394 to quell Tyranid infestation. Subject non priority. Expendable.

[WarriorFish]

Good stuff! I like his robes that turned out very well with the recesses and red piping.

[WarriorFish]

Half way through November everyone, not long left to finish your henchman! Let's see some more completions :tu:

[Slave to Darkness]

Awww I totally forgot about this. :s

I'll start the greenstuffing tomorrow when I get home.

I'm thinking of this concept for my Daemonhost instead of the flying/floating bound kind you always see. Because what would be a better place to look for Possessed ideas than actual possession stuff.

I was actually thinking about making my Daemonhost in a bed with its head twisted round.

Now that's a brilliant idea. [smacks forehead -- why didn't I think of that?]

 

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Great acolyte, there, Pathatrick! Man, I've got to get the lead out on my own building and painting!

 

SlaveToDarkness -- that is definitely an appropriately disturbing concept for a daemonhost. Interested to see how you make it reality.

Trynna fig out the hands, I'm using a witch elf as the basis bit all their hands are closed, I need them open, but every open hand I have is wayyy to big, guess Nurgling one will have to do even though they have three fingers (well two and a thumb), my excuse is the Daemon is starting to take hold of the body more and the warping has started... Got the body and legs into the right shape, just need to rebuild the hips so they fit correctly. A lot of messing around for one mini, at least mne will look different from everyone elses.

[WarriorFish]

The messing around will be worth it, but I think we can guarantee everyone's models will look different :P

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Ok, got my acolyte for this event modelled up today and he happens to be the Plasma acolyte that I'm doing in honour of Lionofjudah from the Astra Militarum forum, using bitz he provided for the purpose:

I even tried my hand as sculpting a holster using green stuff (the pistol grip is from a lasgun):

It's raining and 94% humidity right now though, so I think I'm going to hold-off on undercoating him and will work on building some more acolytes in honour of those who've given me lots of support at the AM forum.

[Kierdale]

Very nice work, that holster.

If you had some etched brass Aquilas or a small skull you could add to the largest surface that would really finish it off.

[WarriorFish]

The holster turned out very well, the FW respirator special weapon models are great :tu:

[spafe]

Mine is an older model, stock I'm afraid, but with interesting paint scheme... hope thats okay:

Sorry about the poor photos, only had my phone to hand.

His back story:

Battle priest Hellion Voss personal file:

Hellion Voss is a native of the world Porio 2, a highly religious world, well on its way to becoming an Ecclesiarchical hub world. Hellion was tithed to the guard straight from the Porion schola, and joined the ranks as a battle priest (Colloquial ref: rank equivalent to private). Due to his religious teachings and Porion’s highly successful indoctrincation of the imperial faith into all their in habitants, Hellion’s military file is littered with citations and bravery commendations from other regiments that he has served with (note, this is not uncommon for regiments raised from this world, see ref: 0022PRH). Hellion came to the attention of inquisitor [REDACTED] during the scouring of [REDACTED], while serving in the Porion 18^th heavy regiment. These heavy regiments of battle priests were equipped with carapace armour and sent into the fires of battle led by Battle Preachers as their highest command (colloquial ref: rank approximates to either sergeant of junior lieutenant). It is this doctrine of trusting the regiments to be battle motivated and initiative seizing that led to Hellions platoon finding inquisitor [REDACTED].

By the time the Scouring was complete the 18^th had been folded into a new regiment a number of times, and due to the attrition that these heavy regiments were subject to, the only survivor of the 18^th who had ever met the inquisitor was Hellion. As if by design, when the inquisitor later requested a liaison from the regiment, Hellions file was one of those shortlisted for secondment. Since then Hellion has travelled within the inquisitor’s retinue as a faithful battle priest, utterly loyal to the inquisitor upon whom his unyielding faith has been placed.

Hellions faith has been his greatest strength, giving him the courage to face all that the imperium has asked of him, however it is also this faith that will doom him. Inquisitor [REDACTED] has bound a daemon to a suit of power armour, the design of which shows it for mortals rather than the trans-human astartes. The daemon is thought to be dedicated to [REDACTED], and while trapped within the armour, seems to imbue the wearer with remarkable powers of recovery, speed and agility. It also however doesn’t seem to be ‘bound’ securely, meaning that its drain upon the wearer’s sanity and will is too much for most to wear. From what we know it has burnt out and devoured the past 5 wearers that [REDACTED] has issued it too from within his retinue. Hellion however has now been sealed within it (for it never releases anyone who puts the armour on), and has been seen within the retinue of [REDACTED] for at least the past 12 years, lasting approx 812% longer than any other host to the armour has managed to.

Amongst the personal guard of Inquisitor [REDACTED], Hellion is almost certainly one of the more dangerous and should be considered a high priority for neutralization. He is known to use a bolter and keep a laspistol hold out on him at all times. He can also be distinguished by his bionic left leg, thought to be a wound inflicted by the bound deamon increasing the gravity within the leg until it was pulverised, no doubt in an attempt to break Hellions will through force. The fact that the faith of the battle priest managed to fight this attempt off should indicate the threat level he warrants.

Further personal files will be sent upon there verification. Please proceed with assassination of [REDACTED] as planned, with a secondary objective to remove this misguided priest.

Inquisitor [REDACTED] signing off

[WarriorFish]

That is indeed colourful, reminiscent of the true olden days! Good to see another completion in spafe well done :D

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Nice old-school mini there, spafe. The colour scheme definitely fits the vintage of the mini.

[WarriorFish]

Four days left, so time is running out for the remaining participants! Come on everyone, let's see all past the post

[Slave to Darkness]

FOUR DAYS!!!!! :o OH :cuss

[WarriorFish]

Is it time to be a slave to the hobby desk? :P

[Slave to Darkness]

looks like im pulling an allnighter then. time to sleep when im dead

[WarriorFish]

Not likely, when you die we'll use your skull to make a probe. This is the Imperium of Man where even dying is no excuse to stop :P

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Finished painting my entry last night. Just need to base him, so I should be posting the finished product tonight!

[WarriorFish]

Huzzah! Good job Nico :D

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Here he is!

Fluff to follow.

[WarriorFish]

In with time to spare :) The base looks nice, as does his red clothing and what acolyte worth his salt doesn't want a golden gun? Good job :tu:

[Deathalus]

his backstory is this one:

 

The inquisitor Koraiath once had a fierce enemy, the chaos lord Xeretof, leader of a warband that constantly menaced the estern systems of the galaxy. Once, Koraiath got wounded by his foe and he made an oath "I will have my revenge, I will grant you something worse than death!"

34 years later, Xeretof got trapped, tortured, brainwashed, his brain pierced with cables, needles and pain. Now he stands near Koraiath, completely empty of any will, obeying at every command, he never gets to sleep for when he tries, the liquid in his brain starts hurting again, he cannot eat, drink, have rest. Yet, even if his mind is broken, his body is still strong. Only Koraiath knows what kind of drugs run into those terrible tubes...

 

 

hope you like it! I had tones of fun making and painting it. Thank you for letting me partecipate in this challenge.

 

inquisitorial byes!! :)

Sister Aneczka of the Oblatia, volunteered to be possessed by a lesser Daemon in order to discern the true name of the latter's master; another Daemon only known as The Affliction. What presented itself though was something far more potent. Now Sister Aneczka continues her service with Inquisitor Kilo while sharing her bound existence with Hazariah the Persuader.
