Inquisitor

The greatest threat to the Imperium of Man is, and has always been, the followers of Chaos and the foul daemons of the Warp. The Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus, the Daemonhunters, are at war with forces too terrible to comprehend and, together with the holy warriors of the Grey Knights, they must take the light of the Emperor into the darkness. The threat of the daemonic is so great that only these heroic warriors have the necessary skills and knowledge to stand against such diabolical foes.

One of the HQ choices is of course an Inquisitor and a very nice model it is too.

I decided early on that I would leave the book he was holding separate and glue it on later. He started off with a white undercoat and the paper areas were given a thinned coat of Desert Yellow.

I have given the Inquisitor a purple cloak. Purple is a very stately colour and fits well with the Daemonhunters fluff. I then highlighted the cloak with Warlock Purple to accentuate the edges of the model.

I painted the gun and the wrist black.

Painting the bases of the Stormtroopers

With my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers I was giving them a desert feel I knew I was going to use sand, but also wanted some rocks as well, so I used some slate from the Warhammer 40K Urban Basing Kit. Having added the rocks I then using PVA (white glue) flocked the based with some Games Workshop sand. I do like the sand which has some small larger pieces of gravel, which adds a lot of nice texture.

Once dry I then painted the bases Bestial Brown.

I did water down the paint so it would flow into the sand and the gaps under the rocks.

Anvil of Doom

Dwarf Master Runelord Thorek Ironbrow and the Anvil of Doom in the display cabinets at GamesDay 2005.

Anvil of Doom

Thorek is the Master Runelord of Karak Azulans, some say, the greatest runelord alive. He is the only Runelord that has the knowledge to make use of the Rune of Doom, the very rune that gave the Anvils their name.

Squiggoth about to move forward…

My Ork Squiggoth prepares to move forward. This photograph was taken at a weird angle (don’t remember why) and on my unfinished desert terrain boards, which as a result are a dark purple-red colour.

This is the Forge World model and you can see how I painted it in my workbench feature on the model.

Of course the rules for this model are not in the standard rules or the Ork Codex.

I use to use the Forge World supplements, but more recently I have been using the rules from Apocalypse.

Witchhunter Acolyte – Inquisitorial Henchmen

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.

Next stage was to give the equipment a base coat of Chaos Black.
