Some new WIPs

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

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) 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 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!

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

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

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!

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).

Yep. Jeff Wilhelm. Wasn't sure if that was his or not. I have some of his tech deck bases and wastelands 2. They are nice.

Jeff also has place recently in a couple GD events. I think the UK in 2006 for an ork piece. I've had the fortune paint with him as well. Very talented.
