Hey guys, thanks for all the comments - they're seriously appreciated.
I do have to make it clear before it gets out of hand that I'm
not painting these particular models. I converted them up (all of them except the Hierophant, at least) and sent them off to Steve "El_Diablo" Day, a friend of mine. Foolishly, I didn't take pictures of all them before I sent them off, so I'm having to post them in dribs-and-drabs as he works his way through them. Our INQ28 project is collaborative - I suggest painting ideas, but ultimately he's the one who deserves the credit. I'll gladly take kudos for the conversions, but Steve's the (very capable) painter in this case. Hopefully conversion can count as "art"...?

PO: Thanks for your comments in particular. The idea of converting that Hierophant with a flamer is one that's sparked all sorts of concepts in my mind. I may have to try it at some stage. The Hierophant ranks among one of my favourite GW miniatures, and I think it's a shame they dropped it (and the fat sage) for seemingly no reason at all. I foolishly traded my model away years ago, but Steve maanged to find one in his bitzbox. It was missing its eviscerator blade, so he's replaced it with a plastic chaos chainsword blade.
The Bounty Hunter is a bit of a problematic model. I know what you mean about the
crazy paintjobs the model seems to attract! It's a model that's gone through a couple of stages as I converted it. Firstly I removed the bolter/grenade launcher. For a while he just had a laspistol, but I eventually went for the shotgun (converted from a new metal Goliath shotgun and a forgeworld shotgun) as it gave the model a better "shape". It also made it look like he was hefting a spear or a javelin, which served to heighten the subliminal comparisons between the model and the "Predator".
Adam: Thanks for your comments. I addressed Mourn's parts for the most part with my response to Precinctomega, but to clarify: Fanatic's Necromunda Bounty Hunter with the hand from a multipart Goliath ganger's shotgun and a forgeworld resin shotgun. Seraphael is a normal Daemonhunters Daemonhost (
this one) with the bits that offended me removed. His head was replaced with the Champion head from the fantasy Chaos Warriors (the sprouting horns beneath his skin was a nice touch, and he was easily changed from "shouting angrily" to "screaming in agony") whilst the outstretched arm was from a plastic zombie, with green-stuffed manacle.
Marco: Thanks for the comment - no, I'm not an artist. I set up Illuminatus in conjunction with an artist (who has since had unavoidable work and RL commitments) but now I'm pretty much running it single-handedly. I am looking for artistically-inclined moderators to realise the site's potential though!
