One-eye Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Sometimes we need a side project to keep motivation for the main one. So while I'm waiting for my White Scars upgrade kits (I will not receive them before November), I will set up a (or several) small warbands for Inq28 / Inquisimunda. To begin with something not to difficult to convert, I've settled the base of an Ordos Hereticus Puritan Inquisitor warband, Blanche de la Rocha. The first 3 members have been painted quickly : Sister Joan, keeper of the memory. I love this mini, so the conversion was minimal. I've just changed the staff to give her a real weapon. Douglas Quaid, acolyte. Fanatic follower of Blanche, this former miner helped the Inquisitor during the purge of Ursus III, his homeworld. Some says he even saved her life and keep his work tool as a lucky charm since. Again, a very easy conversion. Rook. Is it an armoured mutant ? A child ? An ancient artefact of the Machine-God ? No one knows because no one dares to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 While Joan and Quaid are unquestionably good, it's Rook that I like the most. Such a lovely, quirky little model. Strangely well suited to the chainsword, I must say.^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Dude they are excellent. I love Rook, really charactful little model. Damn I really need to get my Inq stuff out now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's two things I'm good at it, it's chopping up little plastic soldiers and movie knowledge. Man, this is making me want to get back to my own Inquisitor band I started.

Aqui Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Rook is amazing. Reminds me of ono from ulesses 31. It reminded me of Oon from Jace and the Wheeled Warriors Good stuff so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Indeed, he's kind of a grimdark Oon My next minis are a penitent icon bearer (pip), a gladiator and Blanche herself. The gladiator What I really liked about the base mini are the metal bracers. They make a separation between several parts of the arm, so I imagined a changeable weapon gladiator. His master can easily remove weapons and add others, or even a mechanical hand. Kind of a plug-and-play Gladiator . Blanche de la Rocha, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor I forgot how difficult it was to convert a metal mini, like in the (not so) good ol-days. Today we're lucky with all these fully compatible plastic kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Blank Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Nice work, especially on the older models. I know some people get nostalgic but it's neat to see old stuff get re-purposed. The sculpting is really great and does a nice job unifying the conversion bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andvarr A Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 To the gladiator - are you not entertained? Â I gather that you'll be sculpting armour over the plastic leg on the inquisitor? Interesting that a sororitas model's been used as an inq fig. Nice touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I like the "plug n play" Gladiator - kinda like a Grimdark Trapjaw Blanche de la Rocha is a conversion well done. Metal conversions are never easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-eye Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks all for the kind words. Blanche's company is reinforced ! Benedict, bearer of the holy relics of Saint Innocent Kreed. Benedict was colonel and commanded the XIIth Regiment of Avagg, in the Astra Militarum, more than 30 years ago. As the most ancient living member of Blanche's retinue, little is known about his story. Some whispers that he doubted the Emperor's will during a massive Death Guard invasion in the Helican subsector. How he didn't absolve himself in death and was spared by Blanche is the main oddity of this rumour. But since then, he bears the holy relics of Saint Innocent Kreed, one of the first Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Blanche herself is claiming that this sacred artefact is given from Inquisitor to Acolyte, and then, that she's the heir of the ancient hero of the Imperium.
