Ridiculously good, the hammer just makes him look so badass.

stunning model... Every detail is perfect !

Cheers all, I'm pleased with him. Hopefully I won't screw up the paint job

Wow! That dude is awesome!

Great conversion. Cool pose and character.
But most important question: Where did you get that gun from? The big one on his shoulder.

Really none standard look and pose for that Inquisitor. Makes him a unique character rather than an archetype me likey.

At this point, I humbly submit a request for a complete parts list, please!

He is superb! The balance, the pose, all the little bits! Great!

A parts breakdown:

The body is from Kor Phaeron (the the terminator hood cut off), head from a World Eater Rampager, Ork arms, hands and axe haft from the Nurgle lord, hammer head from the Empire general kit (I think).

The psycannon is made from a Zinge minigun and ammo belt, part of a maxmini backpack (I think), Fabius Bile's toxin injectors (Sanctified oils to purify the shells!) , part of a heavy bolter and some gears from a watch. The targetter on the other side is part of an old stormtrooper backpack.

Think that's everything. It came about due to the fact that Kor Phaeron is just an amazing model, great detail on his archaic terminator armour. I wanted to change his pose as much as possible to make it less recognisable so he had to be holding something two-handed. The gun was the only one I had that was the right sort of size and it seemed to fit pretty well, I hadn't planned on adding it originally.

Wow, thanks for the break down. I look forward to seeing some paint on that model. Great epic scenery too.

Amazing! I love the mini mini-gun and its low-mounted ammo hopper. Combined with the power-pack/gun-mount it makes for a really interesting silhouette. You've totally transformed the base model while preserving all of it's wonderful little details (love the mechanical details on the knees and legs). I was not a fan of those world eater heads but it looks great here; I think they were just too big for regular scale (false-scale?) power armor bodies. And I really like the purity seals. Are they plasticard or a white putty?

Inquisitor Hawksmoor, Ordo Malleus:

Know that men call you liar! Know that men call you heretic! Know that men call you abomination! You dare raise a hand to me? I am the Emperor's Will incarnate, and I am your death!

Hawksmoor is a daemonhunter, and while there are those in the Inquisition that wield their power with the precision of a surgeon and strike from the shadows, Hawksmoor is not among their number. An unsubtle man, a man with furious purpose, a man with no taste for compromise or weakness. Sometimes known as 'the bear' for his vast size, Hawksmoor is almost able to stand eye-to-eye with an Astartes. Hawksmoor is a biomancer, though while most psykers use their warp powers delicately and master them through practice and patience, Hawksmoor's ability is almost instinctive, and is triggered by his focus and and fury in combat. Already powerful, when his biomancer's skill takes effect his skin becomes unbreakable and he can swing his relic hammer with unstoppable force. The years, and the trauma of events on the former hive world of Mageddon have taken their toll on Hawksmoor, and his body is ravaged with multiple savage wounds, none of which can be replaced with bionics due to the nature of his biomancy. After Mageddon, Hawksmoor has become convinced that the God-Emperor himself speaks to him in his mind, and posses his body, and thus is he the Emperor's Will incarnate - the mortal instrument through which the Emperor can lay hands upon Daemonkind. This divine purpose manifests to others as erratic, almost berserk behaviour, where the Inquisitor's usual zeal and ferocity is replaced by an almost mindless destructive impulse.











Brother Mythas, Sun Titan Astartes

Little is known of the insular Sun Titan chapter of Astartes, though their harsher critics might say that they are self-obsessed to the point of narcissism, and that in their arrogance they have little interest in the affairs of the Imperium, viewing themselves as gods, living in isolation apart from the mortals they are supposed to protect. After the events of Mageddon the cry went up for the Astartes to protect Profundis, but the Sun Titans failed to respond in an adequate manner. As the regiments of the Guard and the PDF crumbled, the Sun Titans stood apart, their contributions to the war limited largely to orbital strikes. Brother Mythras is one Sun Titan who saw combat on Mageddon, though rarely speaking, and refusing to follow any plan of battle or relay information on the strategies of the Astartes the Space Marine proved himself a lethal combatant, though perhaps one with an apparent aversion to getting his hands dirty.

Corrr, good stuff, mate!

Excellent models and painting bruticus , love the the background of the sun titans too.

There's a lot more Sun Titan background on my blog somewhere. And a short story I wrote too: http://www.exprofundis.com/luceferous/

Both are cracking conversions followed up with great paint jobs!

The sun Titan in particular is superb - would love a parts run down?

Cheers,

Dante

I'll try to remember: the torso (with head) is from the Word Bearer Ashen Circle marines, the legs are from the Emperor's Children Phoenix terminators. His right shoulder pad is a Legion Praetor and I can't remember where the sword is from but it is forgeworld too, and very bendy. The left arm is from a sanguinary guard, but I forget where the pad is from, and where the backpack is from. The cloak is just greenstuff. The iron halo part is from /www.trolls.cz

Thanks for the comment, have you been working any more on your Inquisitor project recently?

Wow, stunning job on both models...

I'm also intrigued about the story of the Sun Titans... I may have to read your fluff some time...

Keep it up !

Great job, Bruticus. Both look brilliant and nice stories behind them.

That Inquisitor is awesome and brutal. He looks like a crazed cyborg. The Sun Titan is the epitome of Astartes arrogance almost Emperors Children style

Unfortunately not done much of anything hobby wise for the last 2+ years! let alone anything on my inquisitor warband - certainly getting inspiration from here to start up on a few Inq28 pieces again though!

Loving your conversion work. The Realm of Chaos style figures on the previous pages are equally awesome!


Cheers,

Dante

Thanks to PDH I found this blog! Damn Bruticus this stuff is cool

Bruticus these newest models are stunning!

I've made progress with my Mordheim Ghoul Tribe. The basic idea is that there is a vampire civil war in the catacombs, a fight for the possession of the Throne of Bones, a gory artifact fashioned by the ghouls for their king, but which has a power greater than the ghouls could have imagined.

The first warband is the ghoul tribe, formerly ruled by Vomikron Noxis, the largest of the ghouls... until the strigoi arrived. Though ghouls are fierce and cruel, a strigoi is fiercer, and far crueler.



The savage orc big boss is a dynamic base model, but very cartoony - even more so than most orcs. I tried to give him some more texture to disguise his origins somewhat.



The tribe is accompanied by hyenas: their mocking laughter echoes that of the ghouls. These ghouls like to laugh, and ghouls are scavengers, like hyenas. Hyenas are far more repellent than wolves, so seemed a better fit for the warband. Converted from some maxmini necrohounds.



I'm not sure if I will be able to run this warband without any non-ghoul henchmen. I might see if I can think of a good counts-as for a ghoul necromancer.



I wanted the strigoi to look really horrific. While ghouls are pretty grotesque themselves, they are almost cute in comparison to the giant, flesh eating, insane vampire that they follow.

Hmm undead civil war...sounds nasty! Really digging the hounds, just downright creepy!

Hyenas are such horrible creatures, I thought these models looked pretty suitable. Wargs from LoTR might also have worked - a similar hunched back and flatter face.

Dregs are basically humans gradually devolving into ghouls. The Necromancer as a Ghoul Shaman also works.

More good stuff from the master of darkness. I would be intrigued to know your photography teqnique on these latest models .

I just used the camera on my phone, daylight from a window and a black piece of paper, then darkened the background a bit in Photoshop. I wish I could take better photos and not rely on image manipulation, but I can never get this sort of effect naturally - the backing paper looked blue-grey before I desaturated and darkened it, for example.

I spent a long time editing the photos of Julian Bayliss' models which were against muddy white or had no contrast at all, and I think they look pretty great, but I think my stuff looks better against black as it is a bit more forgiving and I am a messier painter than Julian!

I love the inquisitor and the strigoi. They look brilliant!
This blog is great. A great source of insperation.
Can you tell me, where the legs of the gholam are from? This mini looks perfect
And the fluff fits perfectly to the model
Keep up the great work
