I have 4 IG armies in different stages of unreadiness.
Looking at the new book it seems that my Inquisition IG will be getting the love first.
The first thing I needed was a Creed. Now when you have 4 unfinished IG armies the idea of buying a new figure is just repugnant so I never even entertained the thought. Creeds just a heavy guy with two pistols right? I can do that!
Um no. I mean I'm pretty generous with my self but that just ain't gonna work.
So i took a step back, what does a supreme commander type dude need anyway?
A big hat
Impressive outfit
Communications gear
Something to point with
So with that in mind I tried again
Thus was born Inquisitor Militant Augustus Credo supreme commander of 107th Purification Brigade.
Then I needed a Yarrick, again the same allergy to buying a $17 model came to the fore.
Luckily I have this old RT era Commissar lying around that I never painted. I think his powerfist can pass for an Ork claw don't you?
then I needed Ram- I mean Marbo.
Another oldy but goody, this one a Necro bounty hunter I've been looking for a use for.
So that's the start, next I'll take my old =I= IG out of the box for the first time in years to see just what I have.
And then I'll be using my renowned painting skills to turn these otherwise presentable models into blobs of sloppy colors! Watch for it!

Um - that 'RT era commissar' is actually the original, 2ed Commissar Yarrick model.
So I'd say it's PERFECT ro represent Yarrick!!

No? Really?
Yeah I guess I do see the resemblance.
Anyway I also have my secret service body guards.

I got my Valkyrie yesterday! And 3 hours later...
"Not bad, not bad" Inquisitor Hussein said. "But can you put a larger skull on it?"
I happened to have a land raider las cannon sprue handy so converting to a vendetta was easy. The TL LR guns fit right under the wings. The hull lascannon was a bit of a challenge but I just fit a multilas barrel on a targeter to turn the hull lascannon into a TL one.
The kit is great! Easy fits, looks wonderful and the wings can be left unglued for transport/storage.
I'm lazy and will not do interiors so I left off the door guns, pilot and glued the rear ramp shut. But all of those are in the kit and they all look fantastic.

4 IG armies?!?!?!? Man, I was worried about building a 2nd Eldar army.
Cool info about the Valkerie and ease to convert to a Vendetta.
Good luck with getting one IG army ready.

If I start an arbites or space pirate army then that's it, have the nice men come in to fit with a sleeveless jacket.
For the record...
Zombie IG
Estonian Drop troops (with warzone figures)
Inquisition IG
SWAT team IG
And that's not counting a gazillion Inquisition storm troopers.

Played 2 games yesterday, 1000 points against Necrons almost got me tabled, 1500 against Ultramarines was still a loss but a more respectable one. Both were on a 4'x4' which hurt me.
So still tinkering with my list.
I am loving the psyker battle squad and have now modeled some up. they're just Empire Flagellents with some zombie bits thrown in but I think they do the job.
Mistress Mayhem disciplines the foul psyker filth.
The burning men. I'll do the fire in blue or green or some other unnatural color.
The twins. I wanted the psykers to clearly be prisoners, not volunteers.
And the rest. I like the blind man reading from the book, I imagine he's just reciting gibberish.

did you make the Vendetta's lascannons perminate or removable?
and i would've never guessed the 2nd nose cannon was a Multilaser!
it looks great.

No, I probably should have but I was too excited with the model to do anything fancy to it.
It is really, really nice.
Glad to hear the TL nose gun worked.

don't worry, think of them like Dorritos. "Buy all you want, GW will make more!"
have you got an idea how many you're wanting to get or are you just wanting one?
and i don't know why you're knocking your painting skills? the =I= troops around the Vendetta look fine to me.

Nice figure selection and conversions! A lot of folks (myself included) have talked about using Empire flagellants as Psykers. So far, you're the only Dakkite to actually post some work!
Now I'll have to go buy a box and break out the bitz. You've thrown down the gauntlet to the community.

Thanks for the kind words all. The psykers are next on the painting queue but for now I'm making progress on my Stormlord.
I figure it's about 80% done and I'm happy with how the colors look.
The 'pimping bitz' are from the Ravenwing and Dark Angel sprues.

Random question Kyoto -
... but before I begin, those Flagellants are bitchin'. I simply must get some for my to enhance the 'Fanatical' side IG army. I own every priest model GW has ever made (sans any Cawdor gangers, much to my chagrin), but never thought much about the Flagellants. Great stuff, so much potential. Love the blind ranting dude, he's awesome...
- so, onto my question:
The Valk's side Lascannon thingy. From the pictures I've seen you get one with a Lascannon and one with a Multi-Laser, and then a Targeting one as well. There is a slot on either side, one for the gun, and the other the targeting thingy - are these interchangable?
I ask because if I do a Vendetta, I'd rather have one Lascannon on either side of the nose, rather than two on one side like you've got. Just wanted to know if it was possible (assuming you had the bits).

Flagellents - this is Flag kit #3 for me, I used 2 of them to build =I= zealots last year. They are ONE OF THE BEST KITS GW has ever made. The details are crisp, the extra bits are brilliant and they look just like they should.
When I compare them to the Cadians or Catachans I just weep.
The open hands are from zombies and the open book is from the Dark Angels (another under rated kit) but the rest are all them.
Valkyrie - You get a multi las, a las cannon and 3 targeter bits. I'm not quite sure why. You could put a las cannon on each side but you'd have to cut one up and flip it over (or mount it upside down).

I've been working off and on during the last few years on my Inquisition IG army. Unfortunately I haven't done any conversions like you have, but I kept the color scheme to red and white. I've also been painting the Inquisition symbol on their shoulder pads.
I need to get some conversions done.

I might do the Primus Psyker floating, these guys are just scrubs.
Anyway started work on my Manticore kitbash. I had an old chimera I tried to convert into a truck
After a long time of it sitting on the shelf I finally had to give up. There was just no way it was ever going to look good.
Luckily I also just discovered that Star Wars Tie Crawler tracks were prefect for Chimeras.
