Having finished building my Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor and added lots of symbology I gave the model a black undercoat.
The next stage was to start the basecoat. I used the Citadel Foundation Paint, Tausept Ochre.
At this point the Dozer Blade is not attached and will be glued on once the model has been painted fully.

One of the things I liked about Cities of Death was the large Ork “town” which was there alongside the ruined Imperial Cities. I know I will never have the time, space or resources to make something similar, but I did like the concept and thought it would be nice to have some buildings for my Ork Airfield, well at least something that could be used alongside my Ork Bommer.
So I took an old DVD-R spindle tub I had, these are available in various sizes depending on how many disks there are, I used a 50 disk tub.
Once you have finished with the disks, you do have the basis for a good building. They come in various sizes as well, 25, 50, 100, therefore you can have different heights as well.
The first thing I did was stick a tube out the side (well my son did), the tube is from a roll of foil.
I then added a Land Raider door as a hatch in the floor and Rhino roof doors as entrance doors.
The next stage was to add some wood planking and some metal panels (made from plasticard).
Then using a hot glue gun I stuck these to the side of the DVD tub. A hot glue gun is perfect for this kind of thing, as both plastic and super glues are unsuitable for this kind of model.
It’s based on my Ork Fort.

This Grot Rigger with Toolbox was from the Collectors Range which for a while was not available, but now is as part of the Grot Assistants Bitz Pack.
This is one of my favourite models from that range. It will eventually be found on one of my Ork vehicles or the new Ork Trukk which I have been making.
Having given the model a white undercoat I painted the skin a base coat of Goblin Green.
As the model will not have a base, I am simply using an upside down slottabase to hold the model.
Next stage will be to finish the skin and paint the metal parts (such as the toolbox) black.

I got this nice model at Warhammer World, it was initially a mail order direct only model. I first gave the model a white undercoat, I then gave the skin a basecoat of Goblin Green.
As the model will not have a base, I am simply using an upside down slottabase to hold the model.

I am adding some Henchmen to my Inquistorial force. One of them is a trainee inquisitor, a Witchhunter Acolyte. The Acolyte looks like an interesting model to paint, what with the book and the big flame thingy.
Having flocked the base with Games Workshop modelling sand, the model was given a white undercoat.
The model was given a basecoat of Vomit Brown.
Rear view.

I am adding some Henchmen to my Inquistorial force. One of them is a Crusader. I believe that the Crusader adds another attack (and a wound) for the Witch Hunter Inquisitor, but I am not 100% sure on this.
The Crusader (and the Crusader variant available in the Witch Hunters’ retinue) are probably my favourite Inquisitor models.
I gave the Crusader a base coat of Bestial Brown.

I am always wary of paying too much for a single figure and therefore paying £7.00 (at the time) for an assassin seemed a little too much (especially as it is a rather dimunitive model). Therefore I have decided to use a Catachan Sniper (which was only £2.00 at that time via Mail Order).
I have not had the best results when painting this model, but more pleased with it than I was.
I flocked the base with Games Workshop Modelling Sand, before giving the base a cost of Bestial Brown.
I am not totally happy with this model, and I may re-paint, or get a new assassin and try again. I quite like the Tallarn snipers from Forge World.
See the full workbench feature on the assassin.
I am adding some Henchmen to my Inquistorial force. I am not quite sure what a Dialogus is and what they do for the Witch Hunter Inquisitor, but it is an interesting model nonetheless.
Having flocked the base with Games Workshop modelling sand, the model was given a white undercoat. I then gave the model a base coat of Desert Yellow.

Having flocked the base with Games Workshop modelling sand, I gave the model a white undercoat.
I then gave most of the model a basecoat of Desert Yellow.

Rules can be found in White Dwarf #304 for this model.
You can see some painted Warhammer 40K Witch Hunter miniatures in our Witch Hunters Gallery.
I have recently purchased a pack of Ork Tankbustas
Tankbustas live for the really big kill. Ork Boyz who have experienced the undeniable thrill of scoring a direct hit upon an enemy tank and seeing the vehicle explode in flames.
This box set contains five Tankbustas and two Bomb-squigs.
Think I might need to get some more bomb-squigs as Simon has so many tanks now.
