Inquisitor 54mm Radu plays with big man dollies :)

[Radu Lykan]

with the chance of a 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





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.

[galatea77]

looking good ! is it a GW figure ?

[Radu Lykan]

Yep, mynarc the chaos magus, I have just swapped out the head, cut off some of the spikes and swapped out the daemonsword for the claw

[Radu Lykan]

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?

[Genghis]

Looking very cool. 

[Radu Lykan]

Cheers
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.



And sprayed


Next I just need to learn how to paint white

[eilif]

Looking good!

I think it was super-silly for GW to have made INQ in 54mm, but the figures sure are cool! How many are you going to be making?

[Radu Lykan]

I understand why they did it in 54mm, just a shame it never really took off .
At the moment I just need to get this guy finished for an upcoming game, no immediate plans after that although the author of some of the inquisitor source books is after some minor alien races so that might be fun to have a go at

[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?

[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?

[eilif]

Over the top is what 40k is about.

[Radu Lykan]

I thought that, that's why I gave it a try but it's not working 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

[warburton]

Good stuff, man. I agree the halo was a bit too much.

[Radu Lykan]

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)

scale shot


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

[Radu Lykan]

why finish something when you can just start something else?

built and sprayed this guy ready for some paint rather quickly, excited to see one in a game
hopefully get some proper paint on him later this week
