Some new WIPs

Subject: Some new WIPs Thu May 29, 2008 10:55 am

Well, I'm working on some new stuff, and figured I'd share Smile

First, a Missionary (?... either that or a Priest):

And, this is going to be my Inquisitor (and according to Army Builder, this is a good buildout):

Anyhow, I'm thinking the Inquisitor will be my mini for the competition/drawing, so I probably won't be putting any more WIP shots up (though, I will take them as I go along) Wink

Though, you'll notice that the right arm has some stud type things on it, those will be going away, as they are what's left over from the Chaos Termie Lord arm that I used Smile

All of the Chaos iconography is gone from it otherwise!

I would have the inquisitor aiming his bolt gun, it just works a lot better with that particular arm (the blade makes it really long and low to the ground otherwise).

The eagle on the chest is normally a symbol of the astartes too, not always the case, but removing it and adding an =I= would make him more less easy to mistake as a space marine.

After that I would add some details. The =I= pendant that every inquisitor wears should be there (the =I= symbol, normally on a heavy chain). A cloak perhaps, or even a book chained to his waist.

Looking good so far man, keep up the good work! Oh and I would use that priest as a vet guardsman or something... because priests/preachers are terrible! Smile

I'll have some inquisition symbols on it eventually, but I have a story, fluffwise, where he is going to be an Inquisitor inducted from the Ultramarines.... I won't go into the details as such, as I don't have all of it written out all that well yet, so I still want to go with the Astartes theme, but also with the Inquisition theme. If I put the Inquisitor's chain with the symbol on it, I think that would help... His right shoulder pad, with the name plate, I'm going to try to do a free hand Inquisition symbol... Don't know how it's going to work out, but definitely worth a try... I was also going to modify the Chaos Lord cloak and put it on him, and again try to free hand an Ultramarine emblem with an =I= overtop of it.... that I'm not so sure of, but I'm thinking about it... I see what you mean about aiming the storm bolter, though, and I'll probably move that next chance I get Smile

And, good idea on the vet guardsman! I actually have one in the retinue list that I posted in the Army lists section with a plasma gun, so it would probably work out pretty well!

I like the termie conversion. What type of resin base are you using?

Yeah I thought he would fit well as the vet in the retinue.

Also watch the mold lines around the cock piece, seems like you have a bunch left on there.

I would not use the crux terminatus shoulder pad, instead I'd use the Inquisitor terminator shoulder pad. Not sure what sprue it comes on though.

The non-close combat sprue.... I'll have to order a bit from the war store or something like that since I don't have one at the moment.... Yeah I guess it probably wouldn't be the best to have it as the crux... As to the mold lines, yeah, haven't went through and detailed those out yet. Heck, I just finished assembling it last night Smile

Oh, and jgemrich, this is where I get my bases: http://www.dragonforge.com/Painting%20service/for%20sale/gaming_bases.htm

He's a fellow that used to work on the Ral Partha Battletech line when they were on the east side of town. I've bought a number of bases from him, and they are of phenomenal quality! Smile

Oh, and I think I'm going to do a psychic hood addition to the termie.... since that was a suggestion from the army list post!

A lot of players do those with shoulder pads.

Like this hood (the model on the left).
