Development of Inquisitor X (formerly a question about Covenant)

[Necris]

I have a question about the Covenant mini,

How easy is it to reposition the arms, I want him wielding a pistol and combat weapons but I want him aiming the pistol with the weapon held by his side or behind him.

Is it easy to repose the arms of should I just pin the lower arms and just GS some new upper arms.

Opinions and photos of any reposed Covenants would be welcome,

also how for any one that's done it how much of his shoulders need repairing after you cut his current shoulders away.

ah the joys of making birthday presents to force people into playing 54mm Inquisitor

difficult to repose them. They're quite short to be honest due to the posing of the stock mini holding his two hander.

Here are my Covenants:

Halaker

The second mini had one arm resculpted except the gloves. It wasn't too difficult at all. Should be easy to do what you suggest.

hope that helps.

here's how i did one for a friend of mine; Covenant's top part with slicks' bottom half, but covenants should fit fine i think...

The torso is very versatile and the shoulders can be made into many different things. This guy has had pretty much all of the psycannon mount and webbing removed to allow the Bodyguard shoulder pads to fit. This guy has just had the webbing and psycannon mount filed down into a curved shape.

I hope that this is helpful to you.

Thanks everyone for your advice and suggestions and the great pics

Heres what I've come up with so far.

[Necris]

Well I've been busy,

constructing 4 miniatures for this warband

First up is Gav's wonderful tech adept



Who shall be acting as Savant to my inquisitor

and some continuing development on my inquisitor he's got an arm now



sorry for the bad angle the other image blurred

[JoelMcKickass]

Is that a Grey Knight Terminator weapon? That seems to fit pretty well...

[Necris]

Its actually a grey knight space marine sword the terminator ones are thicker and longer (which I'm using on X's interrogator)

[kierkegaard]

They both look good so far.

I like the GK sword, but a revolver just seems a little low-tech for an AdMech character. Still, maybe it's a cunning piece of misdirection, and it's actually some sort of super weapon...

What are you planning to arm the Covenant conversion with, and what head are you going to use?

I like the GK sword, but a revolver just seems a little low-tech for an AdMech character.

The way I read it was that it wasn't an AdMech character, but he was using it as a savant model.

[Necris]

Marco's right if he recalls the exterminatus comic I was passing around at the IGT I'm basing the tech priestess on the Savant pascal within those pages

As for X I am planning to give him a hefty bolt pistol (I've only ever made one character with a bolt weapon) and in a break for my normal sword wielding masses I'm giving him a daemon hammer

as for the head I'm not sure yet, I'll have to dig around in my bits box and see if I can find an angry face

[Molotov]

Cherubael's head is nice and shouty - file the horns off and you've got a nice head for use.

[Necris]

I think I have a Cherubael head kicking around too

[Kaled]

If you have a Cherubael head with horns attached do you fancy trading for one that's had them removed? It'd save me sculpting them back on...

[Necris]

And another update for you all



I'll see if I can find my Cherubael head (it might have a crappy paint job) for you Dave
