Title: O_o dose stuff and stops lurking

here is  a small selection of  stuff I have worked on  lately  for  my  INQ28mm


Adeptus Exploreitor  Sanfreid

Nice to see that you're not just taking models straight out of 40k armies to use in Inquisitor - you're doing some good and pretty unique conversions.

One note though. That would be a Purgation squad. Exterminatus, being the eradication of all life on a planet, requires serious orbital firepower, not just a bloke with a flamer.

I like the look of the squad - they look very cool.  The chrono-gladiator looks like he could do with a backpack or fuel cannister on his belt to feed that flamer.  What do you mean by an 'Adeptus Exploreitor'?  Is he meant to be an AdMech Explorator?  Or a Rogue Trader?  Or some sort of missionary?  Few people within the Imperium have the right to travel at will - most ships are restricted to defined trade routes etc.  As for the model, his left arm seems far too big - I'd get rid of the shoulder pad (or at least balance it out with one on the right too).

I recognise those helmets.  The brettonians have made it into space?  As Marco and Kaled say, a pretty effective conversion leading to a squad with a unique look to it.

Kaled your  right I  got  my  terminology  wrong,  I  had  intended   AdMech Explorator as  his  title

I never envisioned  all admechs  being  heavily modified with bionics
this model would be the  explorer  would would go  out and  discover the  STC or other technology  and  either  bring it  back  or  report its location

I feel like he'd make a good Rogue Trader who is commissioned by the Ad Mech to search out STC or other technology.  He doesn't seem mechanicusy enough for my taste but could definitely be involved with them less directly.  Again, that goes to taste.

All in all some very nice 28 mm models!

Well, all AdMech have at least some bionics - even if they don't have many visible ones.  When inducted into the ranks of the Tech-Priest they're implanted with a number of augmentations, which include (in the Calixis sector at least) a cyber-mantle, potentia coil, respirator unit, cranial circuitry, electoo inductors & electro-graft.  He really doesn't look like an AdMech though - maybe add some AdMech symbology to him at least...

cool stuff!
i like that combination of bretonian and cadian parts, i think i`ll "borrow" that idea for some "frateris militia" men for my 40k witchhunters.
