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.

Grey Knights Land Speeder Crew

Having worked a lot of my Grey Knights Land Speeder, one of the key components is the replacement crew. I could have used the included plastic Space Marine crew, but in the end I used some metal Grey Knights models. I started with a black basecoat and then gave the armour a basecoat of Boltgun Metal. This was followed with the gold metal parts been given a base coat of Brazen Brass.

I then started painting the base coats for the purity seals and other iconology on the Grey Knights.

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers – Tallarn

As well as my other Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers which are based on the Cadian Kasrkin I have also decided to add a unit based on the Tallarn or I may just use them as inducted Imperial Guard.

Having given the models a white undercoat, I then gave the models a basecoat of Desert Yellow. This was followed by a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.

Finishing the base off on the Daemonhunters Assassin

I am always wary of paying too much for a single figure and therefore paying £7.00 (at the time) for an Vindicare 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). Now the assassin is £7.85 and the Catachan Sniper is now no longer available.

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. The base was then given a drybrush of Bleached Bone.

Finished!

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.

Starting the Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor basecoat

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.

Imperial Guard Regimental Advisors

There are some really nice Imperial Guard releases in May from Games Workshop. As well as the nice plastic Valkyrie, one other release is looking like a possible purchase, the Imperial Guard Regimental Advisors.

The commander of an Imperial Guard army is assisted by a host of orderlies, adjutants, aides de camps and specialist advisors from outside the regiment who are able to liaise with other elements of the battle group.

This blister contains three metal Imperial Guard Advisors, including: an Officer of the Fleet, a Master of Ordinance and an Astropath.

I am thinking they might make good characters for the Warhammer 40K role-playing game or as part of an Inquisitorial retinue.

Grey Knights Land Raider

At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games, in this game, Grey Knights battle Chaos Renegades. Here is a Grey Knights (or possibly an Inquisitorial) Land Raider.
