Pretty cool kitbash. Very impressive!

Damn!     She's a lovely conversion, gotta be one of the best Inquistrices* I've seen (she blows my Greyfax conversion out of the water  ).

* I think that's the correct form for plural lady Inquisitors.

I agree, all yours conversions are very successfull 

ps: may I suggest that "Inquisitrices" is the correct form

Good point, I'd missed out an "i".  My bad.

Nice kitbash!
Did you sculpt the head yourself, or is it based off another model?
As for pose, I think the fist could be down and out a little more, and sword arm could come up a touch - both of these would strengthen the pose and give the model a more confident look.

Thanks as always for the constructive critiscm - I'll rework the arm poses. Regarding the head, I wish I had the skill right now to sulpt like that! I have Silicone Moulds of all the heads I like from various models in my collection incase I want to use them again across different projects; this particular head comes from the Game - Kingdom Death Monster.

Thank you!

I went back and redone the first model - the Female Arbites agent as I wasn't happy with it especially after I got hold of a set pf the new Kill Team Arbites models, I just had to use a couple of bits from that! I also done some fine tuning with the scalpel and greenstuff and have re photographed them with a better angle and better light. I'll get all those uploaded soon and then yes, the painting begins 

For the 'theme' for the bases, the retinue has recently landed on an Eldar Maiden World, which was once a Human Colony but was lost during the 'Age of Strife' so expect some grass, plants, mud etc.

Hello once again!

As mentioned in the previous post, I've revisted my photography, looking at White backgrounds and more lighing from both the front and above. The first model in this new format is the reworked Arbites! I wasn't completely satisfied with the original and after securing the sprues to the new Kill Team Arbites kit I had access to a proper Arbites shield and mace which gave me a good excuse for a rebuild! Here's the results:

















Aside from the shield and mace, I shortened the neck as it looked a little elongated in the first attempt; I also opted for a different holstered gun, I used a mould to make a copy of the pistols from the 'Lord Castellan Ursula Creed' model, I had to remove the original grenade from her right leg to make room for the pistol, but I reused it on her left side. I made a hand strap for the shield from Greenstuff and the final change versus the original was to use a fallen statue head instead of the stone step - the head is from one of the Vampire bases from Underworlds.

So, picture one done, the other 9 re-shoots will follow soon.

I think the mace you have used is way better than the drawing.

The original looks way to flimsy to be practical.

Here's a couple more retinue members rephotographed:

Nice work. Good job👍👍👍
If you have access to a 3d printer look up models/parts
Made by Anvil Industry & Puppetwar to name but 2.
If not, They also do resin parts, great for kitbashing .
Does the person who did the resin sister body have stl's for sale?

I have a few STL's from Anvil and Puppets War, plus some of their resin pieces and I agree, both are excellent companies, but for this project I wanted to use as much stuff from my large pile of GW Kits as possible 

I can check on the STL's from the person whom I got the Female Marines from.
