Inquisitor 54mm - Jokaero Weaponsmith

[The_Baron]

Hey all, something a bit different!

As part of the Community Xenos challenge over on The Conclave, here is my 54mm Jokaero Weaponsmith, Kwenkawu, and a little background.

-------+++++ greetings Inquisitor.....accessing file......----+++

Although Jokaero are usually found living in family units, Kwenkawu found himself separated during a raid on a settlement. Since then, he has wandered the galaxy, gaining passage by working on a variety of tramp freighters, pirate vessels and even on a Rogue Trader's personal flagship.

He now finds himself in the employ of a radical member of the Ordo Xenos, who makes good use of his natural affinity with technology.

While it is often reported that Jokaero have no language of their own, Kwenkawu has developed a translation device and vox unit which allows for a form of crude communication with his colleagues.

He has developed a taste for fine Imperial Amasec, and carries a hip flask of it wherever he travels. His backpack is full of spare parts and pieces of salvaged tech. This allows him to construct a new weapon or item as required in the heat of battle. The Inquisitor pays for his service with Amasec and pieces of Archeotech.

Kwenkawu's main weapon is a gun-glove of his own construction, which contains a variety of Las, Stub and Needle weaponry, and a built in shot-selector. He also has a one-shot inferno pistol secreted in an ornate digital weapon ring.

Not a particularly strong fighter, he can often be found on the fringes of a battle, providing supporting fire and creating new items to support other members of the war band. However when a locked door needs opening, a vault unlocked or a cogitor hacked, Kwenkawu is the first member the Inquisitor turns to.

And finally a size comparison shot - he's shorter than a human, but this seems to fit in with the 28mm version.



Hope you like him,
Cheers The Baron

Great idea

Nice conversion, good use of that Reaper fig.  I've been tempted to do one myself off a Safari orangutan as the base model, but I think I like the more Bigfoot's proportions better.

Cheers guys The original reaper sculpt nails that classic pose, even with conversion it is still recognisable

I suspect the Safari orangutan might be a bit on the large side, I was considering that as a base for the conversion too. But that said, if you do give it a shot be sure to post it, haven't seen many of these guys in 54mm!

Wow, he is excellent! Terrific paintjob too.
