**Warboss_Waaazag**

Phenomenal stuff, my friend. I really like your monkey-in-a-labcoat jokero.

**Knightley**

@Doc Cheese - Cheers buddy

@Waaazag - Thanks, he is growing on my slowly, my current favourite is the flame bearer acolyte

Update: Models Done

Acolyte with Grenade launcher (special weapon)

Acolyte with Laspistol + Chainsword

Acolyte from Tau with hotshot lasgun

**lipsdapips**

Nice work! It for some reason dawned on me only now that the scheme for those acolytes is really damn tasty! I can imagine some Hoth-esque ice world IG army using it. Looking forward to your next endeavour

**Spacewolverine**

Brown backpack looks awesome Knightley, lots of depth. The Fire Warrior came out great! Those squiggles!!!

**ZergSmasher**

It's interesting to see a Fire Warrior with those squiggles all over it! So, seeing as I know nothing about the Inquisition's forces, do they get actual xenos and stuff to work for them, or are most of those models just "counts as" models?

**Mad..**

That Fire warrior is awesome, grenade, knife and lasgun... looks great. The other two look good as well, in particular I like the backpacks and the drum on the grenade launcher.

**Knightley**

@LDP - Noooo! don't paint white, it drives you mental, trust me on this (however, if you follow thy hallowed Duncan Rhodes painting white tutorial do it that way!)

@Wolvy - Cheers, some times the odd spot colour does come into play and in this case it was a brown

@Zerg - Tough to say, I have the image in my head that an inquisitor will do what ever it takes to get the job done, even if that involves some xenos being his meat shields. the 40k wiki does say that most acolytes are human, however they do employ jokaero who are clearly techno-savant monkeys, so have at it I say!

@Mad - Thanks for the comments dude, I like hearing what people like on models.

Update: smashed out some more henchmen tonight, washes, then whites, then blacks all done

**Warboss_Waaazag**

Is there a fluff reason why your inquisitors use Tau? Or did you just have a bunch of bits?

**Mad..**

That model in the middle looks so cool, all robed up with a giant sword

The female model has a nice dynamic pose as well.

Really digging the different models that are coming through in these henchman groups.

**Knightley**

@Waaazag - The loose fluff is my mates Tau force got split and rather than knock them off the silver tounged inquisitors 'convinced' them this was the next thing to the greater good.

@Mad - Cheers dude. There are a bunch of weird and wonderfull models I wanted in the mix. These three are a prime example.

Update: almost done these guys

**Knightley**

Update: Another 3 done!

Counts as Priest (Another great model from Graven)

Counts as Mystic or plain acolyte

Acolyte with Bolt pistol and Chainsword

**Gitsplitta**

I like that first guy a lot Knightley...

**Spacewolverine**

I do too... I think two toning his man skirt would make it pop and jive better though. It would give it that proper Romanesque feel. Love the second one too, that model is just ridiculously cool. You know what ima say about the Tau... More bits bashing! The helmet on his base is that extra touch and completes the model. Love it brother.

**ZergSmasher**

Yet more great models to add to your Inquisition force, Knightley! Must be easy for you since each model is different. That difference is what makes the army so cool!

**Mad..**

Totally thought the first one was female till I read someone elses comment.

Great work on these three, I still love the acolyte and his sword!

**evildrcheese**

Looking good sir! Truly you are lord of the squiggly lines!

EDC

**Knightley**

@Gits - You and me both it was a fun model to paint for sure!

@Wolvey - If I come back to him i'll re-do the skirt as I agree, just trying to get this all done before xmas

@Zerg - I wouldn't say easy, I would say quite a bit of fun and I just can't get enough of them.

@Mad - Yeah no mammaries on that one, believe me I checked

@EDC - I do like the unofficial title of papa squiggle, does it fit?

Update: Next part of the warband underway

**lipsdapips**

I love how the model you used for the mystic has little baby power armour on - i've always loved that little DA guy

Nice work as always on the squad

**Knightley**

Cheers bud, yeah mini power armour on a robed little goblin

Update: Skin, reds and blacks all done

**Spacewolverine**

I love the middle guy Knightley. Where is he from? They looking good brother.

**evildrcheese**

I think the middle guy is the one of the proper =I box when you could buy an inquisitor and henchmen models that came in the box, I think it was called a Penitent.

More excellent from Papa Squiggle

EDC

**Knightley**

@Wolvy - I wouldn't know where he is from sorry, I got it from a mate who had a big bunch of guys in a box I got to raid

@EDC - Ah thanks for the heads up, I would have to look in google to see if its right, but I'm going to take your word on it

Update: Models Done

Arco Flagellant counts as

Acolyte with Hotshot lasgun aka Lazy Joe

Psyker/ flagellant counts as

**ZergSmasher**

I think the lazy guy is my favorite of the latest three. They are all awesome though!

**Gitsplitta**

I agree with Zerg. But all are indeed awesome.

**Knightley**

@Zerg - I do like the idea behind a lazy guardsmen who does the bare minimum and still makes it through

@Gits - Cheers, not much left to go now. I might actually be able to get these all done by xmas!

Update: Last part of Valerias retinue started

**evildrcheese**

Another +1 for the Lazy Joe appreciation society. Great idea and cool execution.

EDC

**Knightley**

Cheers EDC, I remember getting the model back in the late nineties and could never find a place to put him, being A: a Catachan and B: supposed to be riding a tank

Update: Blacks and the Kroots skin done

**lipsdapips**

The succession and speed at which you're pumping out these guys makes me forget how many you've actually done - would love to see a group shot at some stage

**Camkierhi**

Brilliant work and so fast, great stuff.

Second the group shot request.

Of course that ork is the best so far...I'm bias.

**nerdfest09**

Lazy Joe, skintone, pose, mean ass....winner
