54mm Inquisitor- Radu plays with big man dollies

[RADU LYKAN]

with the chance of a rare game of inquisitor possibly happening in the very near future i have begun work on converting a xanthite/oblationist type.

he might seem over powered for a normal pick up game but his foe is armed in a very similar fashion

an extra pic as the resin face didnt show up properly in the other pics

 

in a rush but he is basically into using chaos against itself but knows to do it himself would see him damned and his purity of cause turned against the imperium so he ropes other people in for the dirty work.

if i can get him finished in time for the game then fluff will happen as well

I spy a Mynarc conversion. I do love me some Inquisitor conversions. ^_^

 

Say, where's that head from?

[RADU LYKAN]

Mig productions, had two of their head sets for quite some time, some of them are perfect for inquisitors and their henchmen

[Kilofix]

Nice, I love Inq conversions and the Inq54 system - when playing it with friends who like the narrative style gameplay.

 

The only problem My friends and I have is the limited 54mm bits. So we're doing Inq28 ourselves.

 

All the best on your endeavors though and look forward to seeing more. I think the Xanthite / Oblat works. Is that a Bolt Pistol and some sort of Power Claw that he has?

[Olis]

If I'm not mistaken the claw is from the old Yarrick model. 

[RADU LYKAN]

yep, yarricks claw. considering giving it the decapitator rule from one of the flagellants? it looks snippy :)

 

due to the hatchet job i did removing the flayed skin and spikes on his thigh i have gone for a mark v power armour feel on the thigh, bulked it out and added the iconic molecular bonding studs. my fluff already had him appropriating the armour in a damaged state so this can be one of the repairs that was carries out.

with this bit out of the way he will hopefully be finished building soon

currently thinking a slight movement penalty or chance of malfunction to represent the dodgy repair job maybe with an extra point of armour to that leg?

[RADU LYKAN]

A bit more work happened, turned the flesh/skin trophies into purity seals, got all the joints pinned and gaps filled, magnetised the head for a helmet swap at some point but the build on that isn't going so well.

Next I just need to learn how to paint white :)

[RADU LYKAN]

been blocking in some colours, still need to take the grey a few more shades closer to white but it's getting there

Currently trying to decide on hair colour, any thoughts?

[Brother_Angelus]

Looking good so far. I'm a big fan of Inq54 and hoping it makes a return with the specialist games revival. It'll give me an excuse to get my collection out and painted at least.

Admin notes:

 

I've changed the topic title to "Xanthite/Oblationaist Inquisitor"

 

The Other Games forum is more for discussion of the game itself. This topic is more of a WIP and perfectly acceptable in the WIP (Forge) forums, so I'm moving it there.

 

I've also added the "Inq54" and "Inquisitor game" tags. These will help to ensure that this topic comes up when members perform searches.

[RADU LYKAN]

Leaning towards brown on the hair, when I put some paint on the hair I noticed a mold line running from ear to ear, like a proto halo. Some body on the conclave already suggested an iron halo and so I am having a look.

What looks better, with or without? Too over the top or is that what 40k is all about?

[Grotsmasha]

I'd place the Halo behind his head, on the armour rather than on his head.

 

Cheers,

Jono

Yep. What Grot said.

[RADU LYKAN]

Have decided against the halo, it just doesn't work for me.

Started on his base last night and all of a sudden it was almost finished. Need to look at some occult symbols to add to the summoning circle, any suggestions?

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/inquisitor/image_zpswfomaht5.jpeg

[Grotsmasha]

Dude. That looks top notch :tu: 

 

For the base, perhaps use Lorgar's base as inspiration.

 

Cheers,

Jono

many ancient and diabolical texts are being reviewed for inclusion :)

 

Started working on some of Magnire's retinue. these are the guys whos souls he callously damns to hell by making them do all the chaos tainted stuff he needs doing

 

the start of a tzeentchy puppetmaster, gifted with various trinkets this one time charlatan hypnotist now has real power over others and can make them do his bidding

a summoned warp entity, Vorvadoss is bound within a human host, a great sacrifice, but his daemonic fires shrivel other daemons into nothing instantly

my brother in law has the dremel at the moment, once i get that back the skull face can go deeper into the hood, the model will sit atop a pillar of flames and have fireballs in each hand. am considering using fishing weights to use as ball and chains due to him being a bit top heavy when atop the flames, any advice on a size/weight? not being a fisherman leaves me sorely lacking whilst looking at weights on ebay.

 

this guy is less a user of tainted artifacts and more of a potential apprentice. as a not-ratskin he will have put aside his own faith and used technology to protect his tribe despite being disowned for it. seeing something akin to his own oblationist views in the not-ratskin magnire keeps this awesome tracker nearby

needs a lot of greenstuff to meld the wolf head into the skins on his back(and cover his not so human ears)

am after any ideas for additions whilst at the beginning stages, dont want to get half way through and be unable to add any suggestions

thanks for any thoughts

[Olis]

Maybe more robe-y bits on the puppet-master? Maybe a stole or something?

[RADU LYKAN]

I am planning to extend the robe onto his biceps but the stole is a good shout, am now thinking a knee length stole could work really well, giving me a natural place to add in some different colours to the robe

Thanks :)

[RADU LYKAN]

Having recently completed a 54mm genestealer the possibility of a very real need for a space marine character at some point early next year means I have started on my long planned, never started 54mm marine.

While I begin the slow process of reposing the Artemis model I am after some feed back on his gun. I am going with a storm bolter, I know it's a powerful weapon but if I am bringing a marine then the power level of the game has already been dialled up to 11, something powerful enough to warrant the inclusion of a marine in a game probably isn't too fussed on the difference between a bolter and a storm bolter anyway.

This doesn't look too bad imo but I am going to have to remove the pintle mounting which might take some tidying up afterwards, to save time and (possibly?) add wow factor I am considering adding additional ammo drums.

This adds to the bulky brutality of the weapon which is something I like and am reminded of molotovs truescale marine with stormbolter combined with grenade launchers, Segesvar http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/7659464/9/

 

So what was originally just me playing with spare bits and trying to cover up some potentially uneven surface is beginning to grow on me, does the idea have merit or should I stick with the first version?

[miteyheroes]

Some great work here!

 

I really need those mig productions heads, but they seem to be impossible to source now :(

[DaBoiKyknos]

Cool conversions!

[Olis]

Personally, I prefer the first version of the gun.

[RADU LYKAN]

After seeing kaptidavy's version of a stormbolter on the conclave and somebody's suggestion my own effort was more of a combi bolter I decided to keep the combi bolter for a potential chaos marine and shamelessly steal kaptidavy's idea.

With the combi bolter for comparison

Just need to work out some sort of targeter to add some detail to the top now

[RADU LYKAN]

The marine got a re worked head

Wanted something other than a helmet or the bog standard Artemis head

Work is being done on him slowly, sorting the legs out being the main issue, pics soonish lol

[Olis]

I remember doing a respirator on an Artemis conversion I did years and years ago. I think I cheated and used a trimmed down backpack part for the grille, rather than sculpt it. :wink:
