My cousin and I (mostly him, I just give feedback and suggestions) have been working on some solid rules for =I=munda, Click Here to Check out the IN PROGRESS thread . We have a bit of a ways to go, but I really like how they are coming along. So in light of the progress I decided to raid my bitz box and work on my inquisitor. Unfortunately most of my bitz are inaccessible at the moment, so I had to make due with and old chopped up emperors champion body, a choas space marine head, and Green Stuff. Here are the WIP pics at the moment, I still have some work to do, but I thought I would share some pics.








I am going to be running a Radical Ordo Xenos warband with Eldar characters mixed in. I can't wait for the rest of the rules to get posted. I think that most people will enjoy what we have come up with.

Good greenstuff work, but his head looks gigantic...

Looks like the proportions you'd see on a dwarf, not a human/space marine.

LOL I posted that on the description of the pic in my gallery. The angle of that shot exaggerates it quite a bit, but it looks better in person. It's the horrible proportions of the Emperor's Champion model. I still have some work to do on it and I am hoping with painting, I can balance it out a bit.

Oh my Emperor! That guy looks só bad-ass, i love it haha! "Hello, I have a huge sword. I'm going to hurt you now."

Great work on the GS. I would suggest (I know it's a ton of work) cutting him at the knees and waist a la true scale to re-scale his body a bit. Unless this is truly just an optical illusion and the proportions are right.

I did, however, play the Emp Champ models a long time ago and they were sculpted horribly small.

I think you've made an incredibly badass, true-proportion, but completely out of scale Squat. Minus the beard. And about 50 pounds, all of which came off his waist.

The actual sculpting looks good, though. If you can fix the scale issues, you'll have a very nice model to paint up (hopefully) equally nicely.

I don't think we have to worry about his painting if you've seen his work. However, I agree there could be scale issues for this to be a truly great creation. Of course, none of that is due in any way to the sculpting you did or the swaps. It's the rest of the body.

Awesome, Awesome conversion.

Nice work.

Yeah I'm debating on chopping the head off and adding an Eldar head, then re-sculpting the hood. I checked it last night and it's like 30% smaller than the Chaos head.

Alright, so I cut the original head off and replaced it. I am still working on the model but here are the updated pics. I will be adding a hood to it when it dries.




Here is a quick preview of the warband I intend to use ....
(From Left to Right) Vet. Guard Quarter Master; Eldar Dire Avenger; Vet. Guard; (Radical)Ordo Xenos Inquisitor; Eldar Warlock; Vet. Guard; Eldar Ranger

I'm not convinced you needed to swap the head... the old head had more character to it. But done is done, and the new head looks fine.

The chain for the cloak is mega-pimp, good job!

Edit: Oh, and I;m the cousin, I'll give people an internet nickel if they post some constructive comments in our =][=munda thread...

nice work the cloak looks very animated , and i agree, the chain mail looks ver effective , personally liked the hood also but the size of the new head makes the armour look more intimidating. not reall sure what =I= munda is but from what i can gather its necromunda and Inquisitor @28 mm ?

I preferred the old head :(

It was the hood that made it look bulky, but hey... these are heroic miniatures!

Well I am finished with all the green stuff work. Now, if I can settle on a color scheme, I will start painting this guy. Thanks for the comments so far.





Feel free to add any ideas on color .....

hey hood is back , looks better like this good work , and on the purity seals!

Inquisitor looks pretty killer. Your green stuffing skills are pretty amazing. I will be watching to see how this progresses.

I bow to your mastery of green-fu, sir. m(_ _)m

At first, I wasn't sold on the head-swap, the original sized head too large with the hood. But when you added that hood to the new, smaller head, plus the purity seals?

Kudos, and very inspiring, man!

Mask,

Awesome work. You managed to capture what you had the first time in oodles of menace and cool factor, and fixed the scale. The cloak, cowl, and chain links are masterfully done.

I can't wait to see that thing painted.

it looks really bada*s LOve it!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I still haven't decided on a paint scheme..... I am kinda stumped on it for the moment. I am thinking white/bone armor with dark red accents and cloaks. It Might look good NMM Gold and dark red too. My NMM Gold skills are probably my weak point, I am pretty good getting a chrome/silver look with greys, but the gold still isn't 100 percent for me yet (nothing ever is for me though, I am a true perfectionist).

Consider the feel of the model for the scheme. Exotic, mysterious, effective, and the coolness of having wargear/effects most other imperial forces would scoff at. I would say (and I don't say it often) perhaps a darker model with eye catching accents much like a Mechanicus paint job would be.

How about weathered deathwatch style armor with an Eldar-made stealth-cloak The mask, pistol, sword, purity seals can make the model. I just think that the details will be minimized if the armor is shiny and gold, even if beautifully executed.

Very true. My cousin suggested black armor. I might go black or dark grey with red and bone/white accents. I do want it to look like he has been highly influenced by the Eldar. My fluff for him is going to date back to the Eye of Terror campaign, so it would make sense to have him teamed with Ulthwe. I am thinking that I will add some of that influence on the scheme.

DEE-MANNED MOAR PICTS!!!!

Guess, this guy keeps texting me, taunting me by telling me how pretty his blending is... HELP ME FORCE HIM TO POST!!!

How about some small nod to the harlequin, like a spade or a couple diamonds as an insignia somewhere (his lion cloth maybe)? Might be too much, but it's a thought, I guess. -oo, maybe the ribbon on one of the seals!

He looks good, rather intimidating for a short guy.

I like it cant wait to see it painted

okay guys ... I didn't take any in progress shots due to the way I painted him. Sometimes I get really immersed in a model so I paint a bit, then sit back and stare for about 20 mins, then do whatever the model tells me. In that process I tend to forget that I should be taking pictures. This was one of those times. I haven't finished the base yet because I intend on putting the model on a 40mm base, so bare with me on that. I am debating whether or not to add more detail to the back cloak or not. I used this model as a guinea pig for a couple new techniques though. One being the "shading" as opposed to "highlighting". The hood and back cape started as pure blood red over a white basecoat. I then blended darker mixes into the recesses (NO washes) until I got the desired result. This is the popular French and Spanish way of painting (so I am told) and I wanted to try it out. I am not 100 percent confident in it yet, so more practice is required. let me know what you think so far.......

An excellent model, very nice sculpting and lovely shading on the bone areas, nice technique on the sword also, alround 9/10 and onbly because its a WIP.

Thank you for that compliment !!! I am a little disappointed on how the sword came out, but I am a perfectionist so nothing is ever good enough in my eyes. You just put that subject to rest for me, so thank you.

Absolutely beautiful. Great paint-job on your Inquisitor!
