I've been watching this thread for a little while as a lurker before signing up, so I have come out and say that your work is outstanding. A lot of really colourful characters put together in some truly inspiring ways.

A big thumbs up to you!

Ordo Xenos retinue - the Samurai:














Two to go...

Thanks for looking!

she looks great
Particularly like the work on the skin tone on her cleavage

She came out awesome. Love the last close- up.

That samurai is amazingly well done. This entire thread is incredibly inspirational. Thank you very much for sharing and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Will you be adding some shiny new Deathwatch to your Ordo Xenos stuff then?

Some great stuff in here btw. Love the "power boots"

Great work on the 40k samurai, really well done.

Deathwatch - probably in the next phase - just really want to finish painting this group first.
And Thanks!

Newly painted Inqu][sitor mini coming soon (probably tonight - just need to get some decent photos)...

Meanwhile, the Wolfen has made a return on my blog The Dying Ground (link in sig).

Cheers all!

The Wild Child is finished:

Amazing work Lamby, I really love this model. Flawless conversion. The danger striping on the gun make for great contrast but it's weathered in so nicely it really does feel at one with the rest of the painting. Stellar job.

What a beauty ! Brilliant design and flawless realisation. This model really tells a story, and despite her equipment being pretty over the top, it still is completely believable.

Well done, once again.

Top job, Lamby. She looks great.

Another lush mini

Thanks again to everyone who commented!

Finally, Inquisitor Kallatar is done!

Unfortunately I can't seem to get a decent photo of her face - anyway, here she is:

Daannngggg that's good.

Looks excellent, Lamby. From the pose to the paint.

Wowee, looks fantastic!

“Hell is something you carry around with you. Not somewhere you go."
- Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

Thruster downdraft kicked up a cyclone blast of dust and tiny bones.

Behind her the Rogue Trader dropship leaped raptor-like back into the sky, ostensibly to provide covering fire, though - rather more pragmatically - the Captain was getting well clear of the impending storm about to be unleashed.

Kallatar couldn’t blame the Captain for not wanting to be part of this fight, she herself had been dreading it for fifteen years, since the day the Kroot Pathfinder Blel Kadri had found her and delivered the grim news - the daemonhost Skvorax had survived the Ordo Malleus purge known as the Xolomon Deviance, and was loose in Imperial space.

The purge of the Brood rogue moon had gone sour fast; ninety-nine Grey Knight Astartes died in the horror of the so-called victory. They died because she had failed to convince Huges de Ardens, the Brimstone Inquisitor, to utilise her more radical methods - like arming the moon’s native Kroot with Inquisition weaponry, as an example. De Ardens wouldn't consider arming filthy xenos - so the Kroot fought anyway, and died in their thousands alongside the Knights. She blamed herself for that, too.

And so they formed the strategy that today was reaching culmination, fifteen years later.

The ground beneath her boots started to vibrate from heavy weapons fire. In the tunnel system below de Ardens and his Ordo Malleus battle-retinue were commencing the engagement of the Enemy daemonhosts. Off to the east, eye-watering light bursts and rolling thunder marked the Deathwatch kill-team skirmishing with the traitorous Wretched Sons. On yet another unseen front, the Skeleton Crew heavy mercs were cleaning out a vast nest of sacrificial human cultists.

All of these attacks were diversions; the true thrust into the heart of the enemy stronghold - to find Skovorax and defang the snake – fell to the Ordo Xenos strike force. Kallatar herself was armed with the weapon that was capable of killing a creature like Skovorax, the Relic Blade Hellbringer - the recovery of that cursed weapon was another tale in itself.

The usual players were lined up: Fury the Gunslinger, toting her twin long-pistols Hell and Vengeance; the Sniper with her Imperial Guard-issued nalwood-stocked sniper rifle capable of killing anything within 2000 metres; the bio-mech Assassin, hidden-faced, razor-clawed, who relished in the act of murder; the clockwork-enhanced Samurai wielding her ancient blades; and the heavy-mech Wild Child, armed with that Tau gauss-gun that could punch a hole through Titan armour.

Somewhere up ahead, Skvorax was waiting.

Kallatar wondered then if any of them would survive.

Excellent work, they are brilliant individually and even better as a group.

Great looking group. Well done.

My favourite is Inquisitor Kallatar, then Ms. armour-legs.
