Hi, I haven't put anything up here before, but I have spent time looking through loads of other threads. I have been thinking about an IG army based around an inquisitor theme, but I don’t want to go down the route of the slightly silly long hair madmen look, or the medieval theme that I have seen around. Instead I have tried to make the minis look like elite guardsmen, hand picked by the inquisitor, all very similar in uniform and equipment. Please bear in mind that my minis are still wip and need their final highlights and tidy up.

My inquisitor - Although i may use this mini as a stand in comi

I have got a few troops done, and will try to get the pics up in asap.

wow:( i learly cried in jealously at that heavy bolter team. Beautiful conversion!

The painting is great, and the heavy bolter team conversion looks great also!
Would love to see more!

nicely done! The Sgt. looks especially good to me.

and also, welcome!

Very nice models, I like the palette you used on your Solomon Lok. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses (and hoping I can snaffle some ideas!)

That storm trooper sarge looks fantastic!
Are you thinking of using Inq models to count as commisars?

I dig the guardsmen with resperator heads!

I should of saved my xmas money. >.<

Wow! Some amazing work here. Love it all but the heavy bolter team is just a fantastic conversion .
Definitely will watch this blog with interest.

Very nice painting!

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT!

Thanks for all the comments, i have got a few more wip pics now, as before they still need highlights etc.

I have also just bought some forgeworld bits for this army inc the Inquisitor Rex mini, which is a beautifal mini, i just hope i can do it justice, also bought more resp heads so most of the army will have them, the ones that dont, will have vet/com spur heads and the heads from gws IG bitz.

also got a test or two for my storm troopers rifles, what do you think?

Yes, i am thinking of using the Lok figure as an comi, why would a Inq army need comi's? Althought, there are some very good looking comi minis around, which would match in with the look im going for i spoze.

What do you rekon?

Some really amazing conversions here!!

Well done mate!

Cheers,

Jack.

Nice guard here!

Liking the conversion of the lying down bolter team and the sarge.

Those lasgun conversions look like FAMAS rifles.

Looking forward to more.

Cheers,

Dante

Ahh, someone invested in the FW Cadian Upgrade pack with Respirators! Snap!

(mumbleonlyyoursarebetterpaintedmumble...)

i get more impressed the more you show!
great use of the FW stuff. love the poses.

Some great stuff here, I especially like your inquisitor model. This interests me particularly because I have recently started playing Dark Heresy, and I need quality models for the Inquisition.

Hi, thanks again for the comments guys, iv just about finished the tech priest so will be posting a pic very soon.

As promised,

Tech Priest





And a finished trooper







I dont think my Ipone's camera is doing the job, i will have to try and sort out a better one and some better lighting.

I like your tech priest better than mine, great job!

Just a small update, i haven't done much, Got a little side tracked with another project, a scratch built warhound titan for this army. I also got an order through from forge world that i have been looking through.

Here are a few pics:

Storm Troopers









The 1st Vet Squad



Vox





Vet Srgt

Those storm troopers may start looking a bit familiar

Ya, i did use the forge world ELYSIAN heads, its easy, effective and i think it looks good with the armour mods and the rifles. i have green stuffed faces and heads before but it takes too long to do a squad, i only GS character faces or heads.

Love the concept and the execution of it is even better, your Tech priest is fantastically well painted! Have you planned what you're going to put in the army or is it being built unit by unit?

You have some cool conversions here. I like the chopped/shortened barrels on some of the lasguns. I also like the extended barrels, what did you use to extend them? Looking forward to seeing more!

That Heavy Bolter team is great. I like the =I= symbol on the hand gaurd of the Vet Srgt, too. I gotta tell ya, though. I was really expecting the troop with running the ammo case to be looking where his gun is pointing. Sort of a running and shooting pose. I still like that figure a lot.

Nice work, over all, and really good paint work.

Very Nice, I really like the conversions,especially the poses.
cracking colour scheme and paint work as well.

Storm trooper Sgt is an absolute belter! great work.

looking forward to seeing more.

I have been building this army mostly unit by unit, i do have an idea of where im going with it tho:

-HQ-

Inq Rex as Commander
Tech Serv as Vox
Vet Medic
Vet Flamers x2

Psyker
Fleet officer
Tech priest
2 servo skulls as body guards
Inq Lok as Comi? or start of 2nd command squad

-Troops-
-Vet Squad 1-

Srgt
Vox
Sniper
Plasma
Nade launcher
Heavy Bolter

-Vet Squad 2-

Srgt
Vox
Sniper
Flamer
Melta
Rocket launcher

-Storm troopers squad-

Srgt
Vox
Melta
Plasma

As for the extended barrels, i just use wire or plastic rod.

I love the bases take it you just use some kind of basing gravel and then add the bent metal and the shells that have come out of the guns?

As for transport, im thinking Chimeras for the troops, Vendetta for the storm troopers and a converted rhino/chimera/MACHARIUS for the Command squad or something like that. Im also thinking of a warhound for fire support.

I use a mix of basing gravel, slate, plastic rod, and other bits of cut plastic to represent rubble.
