So, I am a Ork player, but I recently got sick of painting the little green buggers. 22 metal, 38 plastic, 6 vehicles, and A LOT of conversions later, I have decided I want my second army (third, I started with necron, and had 1500 points but I hated the way they played and EXTREMELY limited conversion/wargear options so I sold them) And am currently playing Witch Hunters!!!
So, For Xmas I got all that I asked for, but I had a little bit less GW Plasticrack than expected. (3 cannonesses, that's it!) And after seeing my brother open a Splinter Raid Force for Dark Eldar, and like, 20-25 Incubi, I was a bit...erked, but I decided to sit down and paint these measly 3 models.
Well, I have 50 dollars so I am planning on getting a boxe of troops, and fielding 1 of the cannonesses, and maybe using the old metal 3rd edition fig I got as maybe a generic Elite Inquisitor slot. But I digress, enough talking strats. Now for the Models. (not sure If this will work, so I gotta link through photobucket, but I remember something about direct desktop linking.....hmmmm......Also not sure about the bandwidth, and/or picture size and number limit but here goes....) TO THE PICTURES!!!
The First one I am showing Is going to be my paint scheme for the army. It is black with pink decals. Think Chaos Noise Marine colors (tentacle and chaos) but on an inquisitor. She is holding a Blessed Weapon, and an Inferno Pistol. (I KNOW IT IS A MELTA PISTOL, but in the codex, you aren't even allowed the option to use it let alone restrictions. Besides, a melta pistol isn't even listed in the 'dex, and there were two pistols included in the blister. In the Blister there is a Bolt Pistol, and the one you see here, as it comes with all the 4th edition stuff.)

Blessed Weapon Detail. I forgot who first introdiced this method, but google it. It is in a tutorial for howto do force weapons.
(You water any blue down a little past a wash. Then you glop it onto what ever pokey slashy choppy thing you want, just all over the blade, letting the surface tension hold it on the weapon. You then put a little skull white onto your brush and, from the base to the ti, make little curly cue lines in a short circular sweeping motion, then let it dry.)

This Next Model Is the 2nd Cannoness I have done yet, and I am trying to have a diff armor color but still feel like they are in the same army/force/order/whatever.

Holding a.....Inquisition Thingy. It's Not a piece of wargear :[

DONE WITH THE UPDATE!!!!!
EDIT:::::: EDIT::::::: OK HOPEFULLY THIS WORKS BETTER!

No one expects the spanish inquisition! Wait a sec emo sisters? I like the 2nd more Cannoness then the pink one. Pink and black is more for Eldar and leather Marines.

Ahem...




NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!



Weird colour sceme, but still looks okay.

I'm all about the black + pink armor scheme. Different on sisters, looks good as you've done on that chick, and pink = entertaining to me, go fig.

Nice work so far, good luck with the ladies.

Salvage, I think pink might go a little past "entertaining" for you Why you don't have a My Little Pony army is beyond me.

On topic... the Inferno Pistol is a Melta Pistol. Inquisitors can take them, but not Blessed Weapons.

Wehrkind, sorry but the Heroine CAN have an inferno pistol and a blessed weapon, and no, they can't take a melta pistol. It's no where in the codex.
Remember, this is Witch hunters, not Daemon hunters.

I agree, the second scheme is cooler though.

But the melta pistol IS the inferno pistol, isn't it?

Basically. I just love it when GW messes up some good models. Come on. Not makeing a mold for an inferno pistol to save some $, and deciding tho just "throw in" a melta pistol and hope no one notices? Jeez. It erks me.
OH!!! And my Seraphim just came in, as did my first blister of girls. Just thought you guys might want to know

An Inquisitor is not the same as a Heroine.
Inquisitors can not take Blessed Weapons, but can take Inferno Pistols.
Heroines can take both.
Inferno pistol = melta pistol.

I don't know what else to tell you. Read the codex again.

I'm sorry, miswording on my part. The black and pink cannoness is the heroine, and has a blessed weapon and inferno pistol. The gak, I am planning on using as an inquisitor.
If I remember the stats of a melta pistol ar 7, 2, well the inferno pistol is 8,1. G2G, sill post more later.

12" S7 AP2 is a plasma pistol. 6" S8 AP2 is an inferno pistol, which has the melta rule. The Inquisitor's thin inferno pistol model and the Canoness's slitted melta pistol model are both the same gun, it's just a style difference. As long as your opponent is clear which models are Canonesses and which are Inquisitors there shouldn't be any confusion, regardless of which Inferno pistol they're wielding. Personally, I prefer the slitted and think it's less confusing as my opponents see it and immediately know it has the melta rule. But I'd never put one on my Inquisitor so he's not worth converting.

I don't know that there's an actual 'melta pistol' by that name, and the only other approximation I'm aware of is Commander Dante's Perdition Pistol (which is exactly a meltagun -- 12" S8 AP1 Assault 1, treated as a pistol in CC). But it's possible a melta pistol exists that I'm unaware of.

On topic, I really like the colors on that 2nd Canoness. Not that the first is bad, I just don't really like that purple or pink.
