Looking very nice

Kicking myself for not realising that was the tour name - checked in on my phone earlier, and on the tiny screen I thought it said Tear Ded... Should have been obvious

And I can see that now I'm looking on a proper screen

Coming together nicely with the avnger in place, going to be very cool.

Thanks matey. Cruddy pics notwithstanding, the phone flash I think illustrates where the glare should be on the cans.

Oh, and the band name is on the amp too

Hey folks an unconnected question that could lead to a massive distraction. The manager at my local GW is a good guy and pretty old school in his tastes. He's planning on a 100 pt inquisition kill team campaign for other old timers.
Not being very familiar with kill team, what makes for a good warband? obviously this only 100 pts, and there's got to be a =][= in there! any ideas appreciated, though...

I assume you're playing the Weeping Angels?

Nope, inquisitorial troops only!

Loving that Dark Talon conversion...

^ Thanks mate. getting there!
As for the kill team, I've had a rummage and had some ideas. Acolytes are very potent as 1 can be upgraded to Interrogator (gains scenario bonuses) and 2 more can gain scenario-specific traits. Mystic's are half price and likewise can help in scenarios.

So here's my list
=][= with combi (flamer maybe?) 40 - going to use the old mail order inquisitor
Interrogator with bolter 20 - arbites dog handler
Cyber-mastiff (Arco-flagellant) 15
Acolyte with hotshot Lasgun 9 - desert nomad sniper
Acolyte with flak armour and storm bolter 11 - kitbash
Mystic 5 - kitbash, possibly xenos.

Thinking maybe arbites or bounty hunter themed. Any cool ideas or comments?

Well i don't think i have played a game in 3 years. I don't even have a 5th or 6th edition codex lol.

the base is looking great, the lights really look like they are glowing. In regards to =][= i'm afraid i have no clue, but your list sounds cool.

^Kinda feel that way myself!
Lights benefiting from phone flash, I think - but thanks. Lack of pic updates because of lack of substance to show, but the drum kit should be done in next couple of days.

As for list/fluff, I'm thinking Ordo Sepulturum, the plague hunters. I like the idea of having a dog that can sniff out disease that then destroys the host utterly, and the nomad as this scarred survivor of some awful daemon plague whose faith in the emprah saved him. The storm bolter acolyte will be done out with rebreather etc, and the mystic - dunno yet. Plague savant or something.

Well it all sounds like it will be fun to model

Its good but i dont like the front pair of wings just looks odd.
Sorry.

More Crust for the Crust Father!!

haha.. na... in all honestly it looks great! But i agree with Cam... a real chance to contrast the colours of the base and the flyer to really make it POP!

Great stuff!

Plague savant? Like the sound of that, should be interesting....

M0rdain wrote:Well it all sounds like it will be fun to model

Well the aim is to NOT have to remodel too much! I am aware that warbands could be more modelling fun than you could shake a stick at, but (a) I don't want too many distractions from the SoB and (b) I have some awesome inquisition models but I never get around to using them. Having said that, I might tweak one thing...

Hmm, well, I'm glad you like, even if you don't like, if you see what I mean.

Damn crusty A crusty head will be atop the drums, fear not!

monkeytroll wrote:Plague savant? Like the sound of that, should be interesting....

I'm kinda moving away from that idea. I just don't think I can justify the pointlessness of the mystic when 5 pts is a big % of my force. The storm bolter dude will be the focus of the building efforts. However, 5 pts would be enough to give the Inquisitor either a hellrifle - my original plan - or a needler. Can't decide what's fluffier. I reckon he's ostensibly all about the preservation of the status quo, but secretly is looking for a legendary programmable plague to purge the imperium of non-human taints.

Or something.

Needler is fluffier...he has a whole slew of toxins he can utilise there

I hadn't thought of that
I was veering towards Hellrifle as I suspect he's close to the Malleus for hunting Nurglings.
I have, however, come back to a fresh argument for another acolyte, or the mystic: Look Out, Sir! It's still a lot of points for effective 1 more wound, though.

Love the mini, but might give him a rebreather. Thoughts?

As for the kitbash acolyte and mystic, do I go all out with them?

I love the detail on the Little Helper model, and the Dog looks cool too.

Fw prettiness

meant to put up this acolyte test


And can't decide between these guys for mystic:

Burn the pustulent heretics....burn them with burny stuff.....



...and maybe use some scriptures too.....

1st one looks as if he's got a flamer so I'd go with the other guy myself.

Really awesome stuff

Loving the inquisition models, isn't the inquisitor with the combi-flamer the ltd edition inquisitor model from years ago?

Damn right

Yeah, agreed. Scrivener of the Liber Pestilentia, etc.

Thanks! Always great to catch the eye of someone new!

Ha, yes, well spotted, I'm not precious about such things!

A little more work on them:

While I'm happy with how these guys are coming along, I worry that the nomad is going to look out of place. He does, however, have a rebreather so I wonder about giving these 2 chaps ones also? Alternatively, I could just use a kasrkin for him instead?
Paint progression will be tomorrow night on Da Band, btw.

The kasrkin/stormtrooper has a rebreather aleady doesn't he? Albeit off his face..... Maybe add one to the FW guy, fits in with the anti-plague theme......
I was going to suggest adding a pack to the nomad - as a sniper type the cloak makes sense. But then thought that the pack would detract from the cloaked sniper feel.....

I think just some belt gubbins and some purity seals should tie him in nicely - inq retinues shouldn't be all matching anyway....

That's true about the kasrkin I'll add one to the fw dude. Agreed on the nomad:

And more pouches on the reverse of the belt also. The aim is to have them based tonight, primed tomorrow, and then painted early next week.

in theory...

And if you're using the papyrus-wielding mystic he has some kind of vox-caster in place of a mouth that can double as a 'breather doesn't he? It all fits together perfectly

^That's the theory

So I reckon the base is about done:

Note snot with bowel condition...

What do we reckon gang?

Looks fantastic on my phone screen.....I'll wait till I'm home on a decent monitor for further comments

Where are the background dancers going?
