Title: [PA League] HOLY OFFICE (Roman Inquisition) (league completed)
Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on August 28, 2014, 02:06:11 PM
Here the arch-enemy of Lucrezia "Vampirella" (the vampire leader of my "Legio Mors" league):
the "Sacra congregatio Romanae et universalis inquisitionis seu Sancti officii" (Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition) or simple "Holy Office" and "Roman Inquisition"

a 193X league from the vatican to hunt heretics, witches, sorcerers, undead, demons, dark cultists and their minions or servants.

Here the first miniature I've painted, the leader.
I painted it using the classic paint scheme of a cardinal:
(http://www.frammentiarte.it/dal%20Gotico/Greco%20opere/11%20greco%20-%20ritratto%20del%20cardinale%20nino%20de%20guevara.jpg)
The miniature is from Privaater Press - Warmachine. I just included the hands, eliminated the backpack and slightly modified the mask.
The mask is ispired from the venetian bauta mask

The league will include other 4 miniatures.

Cardinales Generales Inquisitores (General Cardinal Inquisitor) DOMINICUS

Yes it is. It's a very sinister looking figure.

Excellent conversion of Warmachine's Severius! Really convincing. And for the people that don't know the original sculpt, this was it:

I prefer the conversion by a long way. Nice work with the hand swaps.

Thanks  :D

I'm considering how to paint the other miniatures I'm priming. Maybe I should use again the red/white paint scheme? If all the league members use the same paint scheme could be nice, but I was considering the dominican order black/white paint scheme too, for the minions of the inquisitor... One of the sidekick should be a Knight of Malta, with a shining silver armor and a shield with white cross over red background.

You've seen this then, I hope?

Well, that was unexpected.

(I'm sorry, I had to...)

Great minis, interesting idea for a League!

I never seen the Monty Python's Flying Circus, however I know the "spanish inquisition", I just saw some episode in the net.  ;)
Those miniatures are fine, perfect for a league, but they are too much funny for my sinister roman inquisition  :D

Oh yes, what these two have said indeed!!  Splendid work!!

As soon as I saw your title I expected to see Victoria Lamb's chaps.

http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/spanish-inquisition-resin  (http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/spanish-inquisition-resin)

Her work is delightful, full of character & detail, a joy to paint.

She ships these for free, worldwide, another plus, & it's quick!
 
As a well satisfied repeat customer I highly recommend her figures!!

Think of these fellows as diabolical, rather than humourous.  While the chap in the flying hlmet could benefit from a headswop, he does plant them firmly into the 20th Century.  & looking at your marvelous conversion, they would work so well together it'd be a shame to not include them!

When can we, ahem, expect to see pictures of this league completed?

Thanks  :D, actually I'm trying to create a cheap league, using miniatures I've yet in my collection.
I just bought two other miniatures from warmachine (the flamer cleansers) for a cheap price (usually warmachine miniatures are expensive).
I've yet two other miniatures from old citadel that I'm considering...

here the pictures of the miniatures I will use:

Allies with flamer "Burn Witch! BURN!"
(https://www.frontlinegaming.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/flameguard-cleansers-2.jpg)
I'm thinking of paint the armor black and gold and the clothes in red, as the inquisitor... they are the loyal guards of the inquisitor

for the knight of malta, I was considering to use an old oop citadel reiksguard knight (the picture is from a painted reiksguard I found on the net)
(http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics2/img3e28dd9f493f5.jpg)

and a dominican inquisitor (with black/white paint scheme) using this miniature:
(http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mifGPhupUapnMtvo0cKtAjw.jpg)
I will eliminate the tzeentch symbol and spikes on the hood and armor
