Added the grill to the Sternguard's chestplate, and started on the helmet. The inset pic sketch (not sure shows the general look I'm aiming for)

Started artificerising the jetbiker's leg armour:

A little more tinkering with Callista:

And the Inquisitor's loincloth is done (barring some sort of trimming to attach it to her waist) and the hammer shaft cut down to a slightly more reasonable length, and a cap added to the end.

**Savnock**

Wow, that Sternguard is looking ace. Love the bulk you're adding.

**Bascilica**

I really like all of these. Thats some amazing putty control and plasticard designs.

**insaniak**

A little more on the Sternguard's helmet. Still missing a little detail on the rebreather, and possibly some structural stuff around the eyes, but enough to give a general idea.

And the bodies all have belts...

Added some more minor detailing on the Inquisitor: rivets on shoulder pad and leg trim, some cabling on the back of the psychic hood, fixed up a rough spot under the right arm, added the skull to the =][= symbol on her shoulder pad, and pinned the hammer in place to see how the pose will look once she has the rest of her arms...

**Slappywag**

Great work! Im loving the jetbike and the inquisitor with the hammer. Amazing GS work! You have great attention to detail and everything is very creative.

Can't wait to see more.

**Q0rbin**

I just love the female inquisitor!

I needed a Shokk Attack Gun for a game on the weekend. I had one of the original 2nd edition guns in my original ork army, which I sold years ago (and have been regretting it ever since :( ) ... and in a fit of nostalgia, picked up another on eBay a year or so agao which I had never got around to doing anything with.

So, a quick coat of paint later, and he looks like this:

Still a few details to add in... this was a quick job to get him to a table-top standard. I'll finish off the detail work, base him, and maybe add a gaggle of snotlings for good measure, when I get a chance.

**insaniak**

Goblins:

Next up for Devlanmudquest... something a little different.

**scarab**

Very nice GSing skills you've developed there. Great job.

**insaniak**

Due to a bit of a miscommunication early on, it turns out that the pose I was going for with the Hive Tyrant was completely not what the buyer was actually after...

So, the original body went into the 'to be finished later' pile, and I grabbed another Tyrant body and started again.

More of an upright, swooping-in-for-the-kill eagle-style this time:

Tail needed a new curve, so I cut it apart, and pinned it with the end facing the other way. Also pre-drilled and magnet glued in for the implant attack:

And reshaped the hip joints slightly and removed the feet ready for new talons. Also started a framework for the wings:

**ZeinEizoku**

I cannot wait to see this one done, I love this pose

**Empchild**

I just picked up this thread and WOW is all I have to say.

**insaniak**

Starting in on the Inquisitor's hands:

I picked up a few Iron Giant toys off eBay a while back, thinking they might be fun to add in as a sort of Wraightlord proxy in my 2nd edition-era Necron army.

Started tweaking him up on the weekend to fit in a little better style-wise with the old doombots.

Still needs shoulder pads, a chin, and possibly some bulking out of the cheeks. And then I need to figure out what I'm doing with his arms.

Started building Flyrant feet:

Took a moment to redo the magnets on the arms, as it turned out the ones that I had used just weren't strong enough. These will be surrounded with putty for extra bonding strength and to disguise them:

A shot with the weapon arms sitting in place, and the first foot with basic structure started in putty:

Pose looks a bit odd without wings...

Also finished painting the Kannons on the weekend. Pics over on the Painting & Modeling board here.

**Morgrim**

Yes, he looks like he's doing some sort of dance at present...

**Sicarious85**

the 'Hoochey Koo' if i'm not mistaken =]

Everything is looking spectacular btw!

**insaniak**

On the Heroquest front, we're working our way through the Kellar's Keep quests at the moment, and the next quest sees the heroes encounter the skeletons of 4 Dwarven Kings.

Obviously, the rules tell you to just use the regular Skeletons for these guys, as there are no Dwarven Skeletons included in the set.

This is clearly a deplorable state of affairs, so I made these:

Converted from the regular skeletons, with arms and legs shortened, a vertebrae removed from their spines, the scythe cut down, and a shield and axe head added. Oh, and crowns or helmets added with green stuff.

A comparison shot with the original skeleton:

They're still largish Dwarves because the original skeletons are huge, but they're shorter by comparison, which for the sake of a boardgame is close enough for me.

**Empchild**

Im loving the Inquisitor so much your making me want to try my hand at one. The tyrannid is looking awsome as well more to the point I ahve to say te feet are the best part on I I think.

**Jon E 5**

Back on the jetbiker, a little de-screaming modification of a standard captain head:

On the Tyrant,a little more claw:

Finished sealing in the magnets on the weapon arms:

And a little more on the base:

**Morgrim**

The talons are looking good. What's the 'hole' in the base for?

**Dannijt**

Cool Stuff

**MagickalMemories**

Morgrim wrote:The talons are looking good. What's the 'hole' in the base for?

Judging by the size of the "hole," I'm thinking it'll be a diorama base to include an opponent or victim/objective marker.

**insaniak**

Nearly there...

Added the Inquisitor's bionic arm, gave her digital weapons (the small nodules on the back of the bionic hand), an ammo feed and ejecting cases on the storm bolter, a rear loincloth, hair on the other side of her head, finished the psychic hood, and finished off a little minor detailing.

Apologies if these pics are a bit off... My monitor is playing up, so I'm just guessing at colour balance and brightness.

**Disjointed Entity**

Great!

**Flachzange**

It seems like your skills are getting better and better with each update. The progress youve made with the inquisitor is amazing. I really like the pose you came up with. Alot goin on, while not too busy.

The tyrant is spectacular. Love the feet as well as the pose. Excellent stuff

The iron giants actually look pretty hawt next to the old-school necrons. That should work out pretty well

**insaniak**

With the last few minor details sorted out, and a pair of consecrated scrolls added on her hip, I think the Inquisitor's about done...

And a bundle of bases for her retinue:

**darkkt**

Awesome. Those bases look great too - thought about casting some & selling?

**poptarticus**

lovelovelovelovelove the inquisitor. Will a painted pic be forthcoming? Just curious.

Can't wait to see the Tyrant finished. Right now it's very "Danielsan" from "Karate Kid."

**Empchild**

WOW she looks awsome. Can't wait to see her retinue. When are you available for some commissions cause WOW.

**Piousman**

Very impressive. Your attention to detail is extraordinary!
