Molotov's INQ28

[MarcoSkoll]

If need be, I'll wait til it dries and then reshape it slightly with a knife.

Never doubt the usefulness of using a knife in sculpting - although you normally build a model up, sometimes you should be prepared to shape parts by cutting them away. It's particularly good for fine details and hard edges.

[Molotov]

I do use a knife on occasion for sculpting - I typically use Clay Shapers and my fingers, though.

Hey guys, apologies for the lack of updates.

On Monday I did the other side of the shoulders, though it might not show up particularly well in the pictures.




Talking of good pictures, El Diablo sent me the high-res pictures of Inquisitor Adorno, my Xanthite:

Yonder Xanthite is awesome.  I just went radical.

I can even read the gold lettering, sort of.
"infernus terminatus virtus" - all good terminators go to hell?

[Molotov]

There's been a huge amount of work done since my last update, but most of it seemed inappropriate to post here. Here's a slight update after I got a big GW order through:

This is the WIP of Inquisitor Theseus, ardent puritan of the "burn-them-all" school of thought.







You should probably be able to place most of the pieces for this model. He's semi-blu-tacked at the moment, but with a bit of green-stuffing he should hopefully come together a bit more.

This is Pyremaster Korbin, one of his followers:


(Obviously an unconverted 40k miniature, but I've always really liked it and wanted to include him.)


This shot shows the Inquisitor and his chum together!

I've also managed to acquire this model:

I'm a big fan of it, but at the moment I'm unsure what I'm going to be doing with it.

Lastly, I've begun to do some work on a warband of Nurgle-worshipping Tech-Priests. Here's the first models as they stand:


This is a tech-priest, and I really like how he seems to be contemplating the head he's just removed. I'm not sure what to put in his other hand; possibly a plague knife like the Death Guard have?


This model should end up being a skitarii of some kind. He'll be very different, mostly due to the judicious use of green-stuff. For example, I'm dead-set on the model having a hood, so in the end you probably won't even recognise it as a Catachan one!

[Myriad]

I don't recognise it as a catachan now, but I'm interested to see how it turns out.  good characterful models as always - my first thought when I saw the nurgle tech priest was corrupt servo skull.

[Heroka Vendile]

Regarding the Genestealer Magus: maybe attach a flamboyant hat to cover the oversized head and make him a well-to-do crime lord?

[Molotov]

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll take them under advisement (though I'm not sure on turning the Psyker into a pimp!)

Here's the latest updates on Saul Baltasar, the Rogue. You might remember him looking like this:





Now he looks like this:

Great stuff, Molotov. I read through your entire Inq28 blog the other night at work and was very impressed. It's really inspiring stuff. 

[Holiad]

Love the coat. A nice, regal blue that fits the model's character very well.

[Molotov]

Andy - thanks, I really appreciate that.

Holiad - Thanks for the comment!


I actually got a parcel today from Wayland Games including the "Viktoria, Bounty Hunter" model from the Malifaux line which I want to use to represent Inquisitor Adorno's acolyte (and lover), Ophelia Dannica.

WOW.....i must admit im not a big fan of INQ28...although Molotov youve converted me.....must start doing this as im currently moving back to the UK and ive not got alot of room where im going to be....INQ28 means i can have various minis instead of just the one 54mm one.....awesome minis mate really like the rogue (kal mini) and the female Acolyte.....might have to get me one of them lolkeep it up bosskerby

[Molotov]

Thanks for the comment.

My friend Darren sent me a message that included the pictures of the Favela-style buildings he's already built for our next scenario:

I have also made some progress towards the 'Favela' inspired buildings for the next scenario. Here a few pics for them too, they still need painting.

[Dullmohawk]

man, those are some pretty solid buildings! can't wait for the AAR on this one

[Molotov]

Thanks for the comment! The battle report should be up at the start of April.

In the meantime, here's the latest progress from Steve:

Finally finished Saul Baltasar tonight. Wasn't sure how I was going to tackle him at first but once I got started everything fell into place nicely. I deliberately kept him quite plain, almost as if he doesn't want to draw much attention to himself, even with the big chunk of Eldar bling on the chain. I'll leave Mol to fill in that fluff gap.

Very pleased with the face, loads of character to it.


Anyway, the pics.
