I'm looking at putting together a group of figures for gothic horror/VSF games to represent an Inquisition or Catholic 'special duties' force brought 'up to date' for the 19th century.

Obviously, Inquisition robes will be orange, but I would welcome suggestions for painting guards and other 'hangers-on', as well as suitable figures that I could use (preferably without breaking the bank).

Firstly, I need to paint my guards, for which I will be using these:

... and yes, before anyone else mentions them, I have seen these (but will not be using them)!!!

Well my VSF Papal forces are based on one of the uniforms of the Pontifical Zouaves.

The guy at the top

So a dark grey to black with red trim and braiding. I'm using white as an accent colour for unit markings etc where relevant.

Sgt Major Miniatures do some armed religious types, including Catholics, which might be suitable after a little weapon swapping.

Are Cardinals the only ones to wear scarlet? If so, your guards might look good painted as Knights of Malta in black with white Maltese crosses on their breast and or shoulders.

Truly memorable, though I found the prices a bit daunting. You see, I'd shown the initiative to use the piccie's URL to find her work.

However, I did try to counter your preemptive statement. Unfortunately, in my eyes, when I was about to say, "No soft cushions? With 'the stuffing up one end?' Heresy!"

The forum hiccuped. ;->=

PS I'm sure our Forum meister with properly point out it was probably a net glitch. Wouldn't want the wrath of Prof, don't you know....

@ Zazel those Tercio creativo are beauties how big are they?

Zazel · « **Reply #12 on:** July 05, 2011, 11:05:29 PM »

The scale of the minis is 28mm more heroic, but some of the range are larger, one of them is almost 40mm. (this guy for instance)

they are for a game called 1650 "A swashbuckling" which i have no idea about

That's why I bought mine

I should have a new head that I've had sculpted for them soon.

Give me some time and the Knights of Malta will be in my force too

I'd never thought about using the Knights of Malta for Horror/VSF games, but that's a great idea!
I've plenty of reference material for them and they would be perfect as a sort of Victorian SAS-type force dedicated to wiping evil from the face of the earth.

Hmm, Perry Zouaves in black with white trim, as their military arm?

This could be a fun (if expensive) new project
