Here are the Teutonic Knights from Spartan games.  Technically the games is in 35mm or so, but these are just the right size for Inquisitor.

G'day All, uh, I mean, Greetings honoured brethren.
I have been lurking these forums on and off for a few years now, but recently noticed something worthy of creating a forum account for.
There is a company starting up that will custom-design and 3d-print models in both 28mm and 50mm scales. Using it may well take the fun out of hunting through eclectic bits and converting yourself, but it may well be cheaper and more accessible to new players.
Also, 50mm is a touch on the small side, and shipping is exorbitant outside the US.  Even so, it might be worth looking into and adding to the list of resources when it is up and running, should it suit.
I submit it for you perusal:

Adding to the list of places to get inquisitor models.

I know UK GW has sold out but there are still a few models in the Australian and American  GW warehouses if you search under these countries on the main website for specialist games.  I managed to get the thorian inquisitor the other day...

anyway just to let your know.

Hi everyone,

As I'm sure you're all aware, liquid Blu-Stuff is a great thing for us hobbyists to use. Trouble is that it's horribly expensive (15 quid for 200g, plus shipping).

Smooth-On has a product called Mold-Star 16 FAST, and its properties (including cure time) are almost identical to Blu-Stuff. I'm putting an order in for 2 lbs., and it's going to cost me about $50 (Canadian) once taxes and shipping are factored in: the same amount of Blu-Stuff, just in product, would hit about 68 quid.

It does not cure against products with sulfur (like clay - remember though that you can get clays without sulfur http://www.sculpturesupply.com/detail.php?id=203432&sf=category&vl=Modeling+Materials), but is a platinum-cure silicone rubber, meaning that unlike Blu-Stuff, you can use heat-catalyzing resin in the moulds.

I'm using Sculpture Supply Canada as the website for your reference because I live down the road from their Greater Toronto Area location, but Smooth-On products are available practically everywhere.

General World: https://www.smooth-on.com/pages.php?pID=105

And no, I'm not on Smooth-On/Sculpture Supply Canada's payroll - just paying forward some of the great advice I've received from the 'Clave over the years!

Possible new supplier of miniatures

They are larger than 54mm, but would make suitable Daemons. YNWA

As they were just mentioned by Shard and I'd never heard of them before, North Star Models have a small range of 54mm, 1/32 & 1/35 figures, including unlicensed Mass Effect models (Shepard M&F and Liara).

Here are two bits suppliers I keep checking:

http://hoardobits.com/

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Dark-Skies-UK?_rdc=1

Both offer reasonable shipping fees and bitz are sold in packs rahter than individually
