I was pondering doing some Nurgle stuff once I have finished my Orks. Your Nurgle guys convinced me. Nice one.

Holy crap PDH I dont know what it is about Tybalt but he just looked into my soul, I love that model great work as always

I would ditch the gorget and give him a cravat. .

The illusive Molotov contacted me just before I undercoated him and told me to sort his lapels out....which I am rather grateful for.

I forgot to get a decent picture of Falstaff before undercoating him. I also got quite a lot of paint on him today...

That is cool.

I would love to paint one of him.

Weety - Cheers. He is a very simple conversion it is just a pain that you have to buy a pack of three Commissars from FW now (Including a Tank Commander who I have no use for whatsoever).

Nice work has that napoleonic feel to him, the whole thing has come together rather well looking forward to the pint work.

Whenever the name Falstaff comes up I think of a fat drunkard elephant shrew veteran warrior. Rats Bats and Vats by Eric Flint and Dave Freer is a hugely recommended book from me. Hilarious, witty satire with a poignant and optimistic tone totally the opposite to the Grim Dark.

The more bits the merrier!

Beautiful PDH! -You know Falstaff used to be the name of the local brewery in my town back in the day..

He's looking fantastic, PDH! Wouldn't even have needed the changed lapels, in my opinion, but kudos for going the extra mile!

Concerning the commissars, I've wondered whetherr it wouldn't be relatively easy to cut the tank one to shape, so that you could at least use the upper body for an interesting conversion? Recently got the third one from the set (the one drawing his sabre) in a bitz swap and have been thinking about what to transform him into ever since. Hmm...

Anyway, really looking forward to seeing Falstaff painted, mate!

Looking great Peter

And good to see all the classical references to Falstaff

Great looking work.

He is beginning to look like a Mordian.....whoops. Just his head and hands to paint now. Touch up on his cane and then a little bit to the base. Fingers crossed he will be done tomorrow night so I can paint the below model for a game on Saturday



LDD - I've just realised that I have not posted the original artwork of Falstaff here but only on the Bunker:



I cannot remember who drew this Molotov did tell me ages ago. Mol used it on the cover of last years Helios Succession to represent Inquisitor Falstaff who was overseeing the Succession. It is a great bit of artwork

LDD - will have to have a look out for that book.

Karokk - My girlfriend disagrees.

DS - Mmmmm beer. More than happy for you to send me a bottle

KS - I really like the third one drawing his sabre. Will probably give him the young head from the Great Swords sprue...or leave him as is shock horror! I am not feeling the tank commander for a conversion. Tell you what if you send me "one of many" by the end of the month I will send you the tank commander and something random.

Monkey - Cheers.

Antebellum - Thanks

Sadly, Fallstaff is no longer in business.

Ooh, liking the trooper. Where are the legs from? Fantasy I'm guessing..Brettonian or Empire? Losing track of the kit out there now, can't recognise bits like I used to...

DS - NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well I guess I will have to settle for a Bud Light

Monkey - "He chose poorly." The legs are 40k from the Dark Eldar Wyches. The only pair to have both feet on the ground. Not knowing all the kits is a positive thing, it means you have a life away from Warhammer/or you are just getting old and senile which isn't a positive thing.

Dam in that case I need to get out more it's my favourite game on Dakka recognise the part Monkey hang your head in shame I thought you new every piece out there, no wait you just use every piece out there

PDH Llamahead recommended the book not me , but thanks anyway

That is a nice piece of art work, you did a nice job of recreating it as well.

LM & LDD - my bad for being mostly alseep while posting. xxx

Well, seeing how that was my plan anyway, it looks like you have yourself a deal, mate!

Loving the new traitor, btw!

As always your work is most impressive, and you've inspired me in a whole bunch of =][= stuff. Most recently, below.

(Apologies for threadjack!)

Inquisitor Falstaff



I managed to get him finished and then he wasn't actually used in any games today....but I am sure he will later in the year.

The guide did not get finished. Who was I kidding, me painting two models in a week

KS - Dang I should have kept my mouth shut

Wow, Peter, you've really outdone yourself - he's beautiful! Wonderful characterful model, and great choice of colourshceme too. I don't think he looks Mordian any more, so no worrying about that.

So distinguished!

Ps I am jealous f your skin tones

Hey Scarps - Skin tone here was something like this

Base - Tallarn Flesh, Kislev Flesh and a bit of Bleached Bone
Highlight - A light Dry Brush of the above with a little more Bleached Bone
Wash - Thinned Ogryn Flesh
Highlight with the base coat
Highlight with the base coat plus more beached bone
Hilghlight with the above plus more beached bone
Wash - Thinned Badab Black
Highlight - really fine highlights with a 000 brush.

Another great build...another lovely paint job

Great work Peter, love the colour of his coat.

Also, little thing, but liking the transitions on the base

Nice work!
Now thats an inquisitor that looks commanding!
Nice choice on the dark grey blue looks great

Cheers guys.

He does have a certain air of authority about him.

Whoa, easy on the coolness there PDH! You are making the rest of us feel bad! Beautiful, beautiful model, great concept, sculpting and painting!

Very nice job indeed! No pressure to us mere mortals...
