The Conclave

I thought I'd post my current Inquisitor models, after taking photos of these I've realised how much I want to change them! I made most of these models a few years ago and I know I could make them a whole lot better now with a few tweaks, I think that'll be a summer project.

Comments and constructive criticism are welcomed.

Full size images can be found here (http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j297/Kavey/Inquisitor/Retinue/).

Inquisitor Xavier Prometheus - Mentally unsteady leader of this motley crew, enjoys burning heretics with his arm mounted flamer and inferno-shell loaded bolt pistol. Prometheus carries a power sword to quickly despatch foes and even the playing field against stronger adversaries.


Engineer Martin Cravendale - An exceptionally talented mechanic, born and raised on a rural world by his insane but brilliant father, Martin's abilities were never recognised by the Tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus. This led to the development of his own unorthodox techniques, as he gained skill, he chose to install his own custom mechadendrites. Martin has a fondness for explosives and is always well kitted out for battle.


Marksman Telos Draik - Hard as nails and wielding a Gatling gun, little can survive once in the sights of Draik. Originally a hired gun, Draik's talents impressed Prometheus and he was soon a permanent member of the group.


Assassin Blade - Dedicated to his work, Blade soon gave up on conventional assassin weapons, feeling that the stealth aspect only hindered his duties. Instead he found that dual chainswords could deal with problems much more rapidly. Wearing little armour for flexibility, Blade is a formidable opponent in hand-to-hand combat. The model is based on Andrea Miniature's wonderful HØRTHAK "BLACK CROW" (http://www.andrea-miniatures.com/market/AspsProductos/Detalle.asp?IdProductoDetalle=1178) model.


Arco-flagellant Hans763 - A former Acolyte of Prometheus, the human now known as Hans763 progressed quickly and soon reached the rank of Interrogator. On a difficult mission, Hans was tasked to investigate corruption in a foreign conclave. Calling a conference with several high-ranking Inquisitors, Hans became frustrated with the uncooperative members of the conclave, and ordered his guards to open fire on the conference chamber. Destroyed by guilt, he returned to Prometheus to repent, and requested voluntary Arco-flagellation. Prometheus keeps Hans in stasis aboard his ship, saving him only to deal with his most powerful enemies.


Aside from the main retinue, Martin has several homemade robots which he can use when sent on missions alone. These were mostly built as a bit of fun, hence I haven't worried too much about the use of Ork parts, they are generally used to add some light hearted humour to games.

Clank - Armed with an autogun, Clank works well as a portable turret.


Thump - More of a utility bot than a fighter, a large amount of processing power and a matrix interface allows the manipulation of complex computer systems. Despite Thump's specialisation, Martin decided to add some defensive weaponry in the form of a side mounted Rocket Launcher.


Scrape - Generally useless in close combat, Martin decided he might need some help on solo missions. Equipped with chainblades, a bonesaw and an implanted autogun, Scrape is a technically fearsome adversary, as long as he doesn't malfunction...


I hope you like them!

Very nice, and more than a little familiar! I really liekd the models I saw on saturday, but with how things were going i didn't really get to inspect them any more than a passing glance. Still, some good work here, and some interesting conversions.

I really like the robots, although i get the feeling they should somehow have their own cartoon t.v. series....

Welcome to the conclave

These are a good collection that I enjoyed getting a look at - I was impressed by Prometheus, who has a suitably heroic bent, and it's always good to see a guy that knows sometimes you need two chainswords  8).

Love the robots, it's always good to have a few fun models.

hm. The only criticism I can think of is that your techpriest doesn't look all that priesty. Apart from that, the figs are well converted, and I reallly like your painting style. Overall, I'm impressed...

He doesn't look much like a tech priest since he isn't one, the mechadendrites are custom made. We've played a whole load of backstory missions with him where his father used to belong to the Adeptus Mechanicus before going insane and becoming 'The Puppetmaster', he learnt a lot of skills from him.

Thank you all for your comments!

Really great looking models.  To touch on something previously mentioned, I think you did a fantastic job with the engineer precisely because he doesn't look tech-priesty.  I feel as though the differentiation is key and you hit it spot on.

I'm having a little trouble figuring out what's going on with Prometheus's right hand (is that the one with the built in flamer?) but overall they're a fantastic and imaginative warband.  As has often been said about my own models, it really shows what you can do with the somewhat limited Inq range and a mess of 40K bits.  The heavy weapons guy is also brilliant and I love the idea of a man with two chainswords.  Does the assassin hook them onto that metal bit on his back when they aren't in use?  Just curious.

Prometheus' left arm has the built in flamer, which is why the sleeve is a little strange. I have some plans to modify it to make the flamer look more like a flamer, and also to expand his cloak on all parts of the model so the left sleeve looks less out of place.

Yes, Blade hooks the chainswords onto the back hook when not in use, I intended to add some hooks to the chainswords for exactly that purpose but seem to have forgotten!

Cool collection.

Didn't you used to post on one of the Conclave's old incarnations? I'm sure that I remember some of your models  ('Thump' in particular.)

RobSkib may have posted some of my models up here previously, since I generally leave them at his house.
