It could also be a "Not Ravenor". Just another inquisitor that you based on him. Because I like your original design and it seems a waste to dispose of it for a enclosed chair.

My uni term has at last finished! It was a lot harder than I expected and so there wasn't really any time for modelling. I did manage to read Eisenhorn's trilogy and I am currently 2/3 of the way through Ravenor's, my imagining of him was well off! So I think I will use that concept for another inquisitor.
Now term has finished I've began work on the newest member on my warband. A kroot guide.

He has suffered many injuries on from his work with the inquisitor, most notable are from an explosion suffered when chasing a heretic who was poisoning an amasec factory.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The inquisitorial team advanced with the kroot on point. Only too late did they realise they had entered a trap. Explosives at the base of the boiling vats detonated and boiling liquid sprayed onto the kroot. The damage was extensive, but thankfully due to medicae technology and the fact he was considered too valuable an asset to lose: extensive skin grafts and transplants were able to repair most of his body. His left eye, forearm and hand however could not be saved. These have been replaced with implants and augments.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Kroot Guide






I'm really enjoying making this one, I carved his left hand to look like a robotic hand and then used a necron forearm which was also carved to make it less cylindrical to replace the forearm. I added some scar tissue to the neck and drilled out the left eye, which I replaced with plastic tubing.
The silencer on the end of his rifle has not yet been glued as I ran out of super glue, it is resting only on a pin, which is the reason is at an odd angle in a couple of the photos.
He's not finished yet, I think I will add a few more impants along his back and lower legs as well as some further scar tissue on his left shoulder. Cloth either in between his legs or over his left shoulder and also some other trinkets.

The Kroot tracker is pretty much finished now, I've made a few further additions: a small camo cloak that is billowing over his shoulder to create a dynamic pose; ammunition, a pistol and a knife. The knife is made of two different knives from the kroot kit, one with a bone handle and another with a longer blade that I had to cut a pelt away from. I also added some further augments to his knee joints. The only further modifications I plan on making now are an attachment for the camo cloak and a base.

Very cool sniper!

Very nice!

Thanks guys
Update to the keeper of secret at last!
I've done some work on the head. This is the part that will be most heavily converted, so after this is done there won't be much work left to do on the model.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The helmet is a marvel of design. It was created to hold and compute tremendous amounts of data; a miniature super cogitator. The helmet enables the Keeper to boost his already terrifying knowledge, making him a masterful tactician and saboteur.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Decided to put it together as a gif



A couple of photos

That kroot looks great! The necron hand fits perfect and all the equipment make him look very charcaterisic . I really love it, when minis tell a story

@Boba Fett - Thanks
I am leaning towards creating an exploratory warband. One that consists of servitors, data hubs and recording devices, all under the control of either an inquisitor or magos. I have drawn up the ideas for a mobile pict recorder, inspired by the pict recorder footage from the very beginning of the Eisenhorn trilogy. It will be based off the LOTR models of gollum.



~M

This term seems to be a bit more chilled so I should have more time to finish off the warband
I've made a small amount of progress on the Keeper. Struggling with how to position the head, I don't really want him looking at the book as it's a bit cliched, but that only really leaves to the right or straight ahead, any ideas? I also had an issue with pinning the head and I pinned it in the wrong position initially, does any one have any tips on pinning things to prevent them from being at the wrong angle?





Also picked up these two old eldar models



Planning to turn them into rogue traders, hopefully with some glossy purples and golds. Was hoping to use the empire feathered heads but unfortunately the heads are too big!
~M

Another small update - the keeper is nearly much finished.
Unfortunately I didn't have that much flexibility with the head as I had to pin it in order to build it as so I really only had three choices looking to the right, left or straight ahead. In the end I did glue his head in the cliched position because unfortunately it did look the best. I've also added his respirator, connecting pipes and a holstered pistol. I changed it from the initial design which would have had the pipes coming from the two outlets at his chin. I did this because despite my initial feelings that the outlets were too big they have grown on me. I've relocated the pipes to just behind these. Also debating which side to put the gun.
I think in 40k games I'll use him as an advisor or sanctioned psyker.








C&C appreciated

Ordo Chronos
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was having a look at some of the smaller ordos and came across the Ordo Chronos. An Ordo fascinated by the bizarre properties of the warp concerning time and time travel. I sketched an inquisitor for this Ordo. They are also involved in hunting down those who appear in the past, for extermination or study. The whole ordo has vanished into the warp in an attempt to study it. I like the flexibility this could bring: new weird weapons, strange armour, new plots and storylines etc.

Inquisitor Lady Pervoxia of the Ordo Chronos



I went with a couple of themes one that because they are potentially jumping in and out of the warp at different times their clothing would be from different times and therefore may not resemble current fashions and trends.
I don't know how I feel about the sketch itself but I quite like the concepts and ideas I've come up with.
Thoughts?

Rogue Trader with needle rifle and rapier

Only some minor conversion work on this one, thankfully I managed to find a head that was not too disproportionate!



~M

I recently watched the fifth element. I love orange and haven't made any females yet so Leeloo as inspiration was a clear choice.



Some dry mock ups, mainly built from the amazing harlequins set. I wanted to capture her movement, and for her to have a strong presence. The head is a place holder and I hope to change it soon. I want to use a head like the sisters of battle but with the hair billowing forward. Does anyone know where I could get something similar?

In the second model I changed the back piece for the coat, I think it makes her look more like an inquisitor. I can't decide which I prefer. I also need to de-eldar her.

Comments and criticism welcome
~M

Jeff Vader from the ammobunker pointed out that the pose looked a bit stiff. I was imagining a pose similar to trinity from the matrix, but sort of flying backwards.

She looks better with the arms swept back, and I reckon she would look better with a different set of legs. I've kind of gone off the idea for her now, as I just want her to be a warband member and with the coat and legs I think she would look too much like an inquisitor. So in the meantime I might try a different pose and save that model idea for something else
Something like this N.B. May be NSFW

Or something simple like this (SFW)

I'll probably opt for the simple one so I can actually get it built and painted.

On a separate note

The start of a Callidus Assassin?



I think change the thing on her arm to a blade, alter the gun slightly, a skull to her chest and add some purity seals and she make quite a nice Callidus assassin.
~M

I've done another mock up based on the top pose.
It needs a larger base and i'll replace the gun with an open hand or on the ground supporting her.
Undecided whether I should copy the clothing from that photo in greenstuff and make her into a death cult assassin?


~M

Heres some heads that may work

What did you make those from?
I wanna copy

Thanks guys, they're made from the new harlequin set and some bits from the dark eldar wyches

I've been particularly busy with university work recently but found time this weekend to make something I've been thinking about for a while.
My newest creation is an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitorial Henchman armed with a bolter-stake crossbow. The gun is a little large but I'm not particularly fussed. I think for game terms, it would be used as an autogun or something along those lines rather than a bolter.
Due to the angle of the crossbow it's been particularly hard to photograph


~M

I've changed the gun so that the crossbow string can be drawn back, added Bolts to his thigh, and holy nails in his head. I don't know how I feel about them but it is done now.

I think he will be a heretic that is being saved through repentance. I plan on adding a hood to cover his back.



~M

Wonderful! I love the holy nails. Should be fun to paint the wounds around them.

I think you should change the ammo belt for a wide magazine, maybe two together in width. The belt now detracts from the crossbow idea, its too obviously bullets. A Mag would cover that up.
Love the Holy nails!

@weirdlingway - thanks, I'm looking forward to some gruesome painting
@MauS - the belt is for his bolter. It's a bolter-crossbow combi weapon of sorts.

I've done a bit more work on the heretic henchman
I've partially sculpted a hood, added shoulder guards and also a cable from his respirator on the back to his chest however when I was sculpting the hood I accidentally touched it so I had to remove it. I'm going to replace it with a slightly larger tube. I've also added the silver bolts to his leg.
I still haven't decided how I want to base him. I think it will be a simple dirt/sand ground.
He's almost done. I need to finish the right side of the hood, add the tube and also sculpt straps to the bolts on his thigh.



~M

I love that crossbow weapon design. I can imagine it being the final shot to deal with heretics.

Perhaps causing them to violently incinerate.

Chewbacca wont be happy you stole his Bowcaster!

Looks great, thanks for posting.

Thanks guys

I have finished the Ordo Hereticus henchman with a crossbow-bolter combi weapon! After the amount of effort I put into this character and suggestion from a forum member I am going to upgrade him from a henchman to a named character. He will be a heretic/witch/psychic hunter.



Purity seals and purity scrolls are held in place via nails into his legs. Sculpted gloves.
Bolts to hold his breast plate in place. Bandaging around his legs.



The bolts on his leg are strapped to his thigh. A respiratory on his back aids breathing in harsh conditions. The only "extravagance" he allows. His hood flops down onto his respirator. Pouches contain holy ointments and supplies.

I've included a couple more photos, some 40k rule ideas (not familiar with Inq28 rules yet but should give an idea of the sort of character I want to build and the bits I used on my Blog

~M

This is amazing work, MHVB. I can't wait to see these guys painted up and ready for action.

That space on the receiver looks like its calling for a purity seal or some kinda inquisitor mark

Pin ead is lookin pretty sweet.

Great work, this is going to be one impressive warband I think

Thanks guys
My next project is going to be something larger hopefully. I want something big I can come back too and chip away at whilst making smaller characters.

I really like the Metal Gear Solid games, especially the cyborg and organic elements. I am planning to make a 40k-ified version of the Gekko. Its like a scout AI walker.



My 40k version will have a heretic bound to the underside, and will be about 90mm high.
Here's a preliminary sketch, with a size comparison



I'm going to sculpt the legs out of milliput with a bit of greenstuff. Then add bits to 40k-ify it. I'm also going to do the feet as claws.

I also picked the mordheim elf from ebay. I plan on adding a helmet similar to the keeper model I made, with a hood.
