Inquisitor Xerxas and Warband revamp

[Molotov]

Easily one of my favourite ever Inquisitor models. Fantastic work, and I really like the earthy tones you picked. Given the overloaded backpack and the book he's carrying (which give the air of a journeyman Inquisitor, never settling in one place long) I wonder whether his face could've done with some slight stubble.

Still, an amazing model and one I'm definitely saving for future inspiration!

I wonder whether his face could've done with some slight stubble.

I thought about doing that actually, but I prefer the look of him clean shaven! I don't know if you can see it in the photographs, but the hair on the back of his head is all stubble from where he hasn't managed to keep his dashing bowl-cut in pristine condition!

[Kaled]

Woah, that is looking fantastic - hugely impressive.  Not only have your modelling skills improved in leaps and bounds, but so have your painting abilities.

my freehand leaves much to be desired

Sorry mate but when you get an idea for the banner its going to be freaking sweet. look at the work you've done on the symbol on the coat, the lining and the purity seal. absolutely top notch painting all round here. can't wait to see more.

[Adlan]

Wow, fantastic, can't wait to see him finished.

How about a Grinning Skull in an =][= symbol.
Just something I thought of looking at the model.

[Myriad]

Simply excellent.  Not as debonair as he started out - he's gained quite a bit of weight, but the result is a really gritty model with more genuine prescence.

[RobSkib]

I've almost finished his paintjob, but the backbanner is still mystifying me. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

In other news, if you follow the fabulous Chronicles of the Carthaxian Conclave started by Kaled and have read my latest post, I can show you some sneaky WIPs of Takoda Tedd:




I didn't have an auto shotty handy to stick on the model, so I had to bodge one from a standard INQ shotgun. I just shortened both barrels, clipped the stock off and added a nice IG mortar magazine. Looks dandy enought o pass as an auto shotgun methinks, there's life in those old gun models yet!





I have a lot of GS work to do. I'm trying to achieve a certain dashing hat and snakeskin jacket look...

[phil-o-mat]

the auto shotgun looks really cool. the mortar magazine works perfectly!

[Tyrant]

Ditto 

[Kaled]

I agree - the shotgun does look great.  I expect we'll see that one copied before long.

Not sure if it's the angle of the picture, but he doesn't look to be holding that gun in his left hand properly.

WOW Xerxas' cloak is AMAZING Think I'm going to have to walk arround with my chin in a wheelbarrow my jaw dropped so far!!

Tedd's looking promising too, look forward to seeing some updates on him.

[Inquisitor Cade]

Yeah, great looking shotgun. Normally weapons slung on the back would point down though, unless I'm misinformed.

[RobSkib]

Whoah! Sometimes I even surprise myself at how productive I can be. After some intense industrial-strength worksessions over the past 48 hours, I've produced a very-nearly finished Francis "Takoda" Tedd; an entrepreneur of murder and cousin, "Business is good."







I just have a few more things to do to him - he needs a lapel on the right side of his jacket, maybe some beltloops and buckles if I'm feeling adventurous. Would it be too cheeky to say that he's an ex-member of an Ordo Sepulturum kill-team?

[phil1103]

i have to say i'm very annoyed at you.

I have a Dark Heresy Character that i have recently converted into 54mm form. nedless to say, he had a statson hat, and carried two stub autos. and a sawn off break open shotgun on his back. My model was using Slicks legs and body, and a head and weaposn swap, but i'm now gonna have to alter it, as this is so much better! this is what my character should have looked like!

Very jeleous.

hmm looking good!

I'm puzzling over what the red straps are made from, royal mail rubber bands by any chance?  going to have to be a bugger and remind you that rubber petrifys over time so you might find these cracking quite heavily.
