The Inquisition - Ordo Malleus Inquisitor

Here is the inquisitor for my small warband of daemon hunting ordo malleus. To be honest I didn't have a great deal of enthusiasm for the task and I think this is quite evident in the paint job.
It's always dangerous ground when I feel I'm painting (finishing) because I should, rather than because I want to.

I haven't had a lot of inspiration for painting the last couple of months, but I'm feeling the need to press on with the warp fiends CSM now my disappointment in the new codex and minis has subsided somewhat, so hopefully one way or the other I'll get enough done to post more than one shoddy character a month, which has been my total output for the past couple.

Badab war - Astral Claws Tyrants Legion Arch Centurion

Although ive already painted a centurion as the HQ choice for my tyrants legion forces, I fancied making a second, more ornate mini to act as my warlord. Regular reader might remember seeing the body for this on one of my WIP posts a while back.



He's a simple kitbash utilising a metal master of the watch body, with a backpack and auspex hand from the plastic devestator kit and a forgeworld mk4 maximus command head. I mounted him on a 40mm base to give him a bit of height and presence over his minions.



Unlike my first centurion, whos a 'get stuck in and split some wigs' kind of guy, I imagine this centurion as an aloof commander, watching from a vantage point and coordinating/directing the auxillia forces and artillery from afar.

More Inq28 - Libricar goons.

I felt my little libricar posse could do with a couple of members who could be classified as disposable pawns.
After a bit of digging around in the bits box I came up with these two chaps
Barba Sog, licenced bounty killer, and a 'Macharian cult' vigilante martyr.

Barba Sog is basically just a kitbashed imperial guardsman, I added a few cables to his head and to the scopes to make it look like he has a direct feed from his longlas to his optic augmetics. The loincloth is from the space marine company champion. I think the throwing knives are a skaven bit, and the top hat tucked into his belt was recycled from the malifaux mercenary I used for Chastiner Jodel.


Next up is a fanatic archetype, armed with a sickle, several hand grenades, and a pair of saintly golden masks.
The body is a brettonnian peasant bowman, the head is a chimera drivers with part of an iron halo added, both masks were made from slicing the faces off a pair of unfortunate dark eldar. His sickle arm is from an old plastic lizarsman. I might go back and replace the hand holding a frag grenade as it looks far too small and vestigial in comparison.
I also chopped off the pointy peasant shoes and swapped them for a pair of guard issue boots, both to add a little height and change the general posing. I think the bovver boots also help grimdark him up a bit.


Both of these are pretty 'quick and dirty' kitbashes to pad out the warband, after all you cant send the boss out on every recce or whack-job.

Needless to say, Having heard the inquisimunda flavoured rumours popping up on faeit 212 the last couple of days, my breath is well and truly baited!
