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 fitted them to their bases and flocked the bases I gave them a white undercoat.
I do like these models.
See the full workbench feature on the Tallarn Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.
I have always liked this model, but wasn’t sure a) where it came from, b) what it was called, so I could never find it in the stores or on the online store.
It was only recently when reading through an old White Dwarf that I saw it was part of the Black Templars Chaplain Grimaldus and Retinue Boxed Set.
So now I knew which boxed set it came from, I could work out what it was called and find it in the online store. It is available either as part of a boxed set or individually. As I wasn’t too bothered about the other miniatures in the boxed set I purchased it individually through Mail Order.
I will be using it as part of my Inquisitorial retinue.
Having cleaned the model I based it with GW modelling sand.

One part of any model which takes it from a painted model to a gaming masterpiece is the details.
Having taken my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers through the wash and then a drybrush, the next stage was the details. For example painting the muzzle of the hellguns in black. I painted the helmet visors in light blue and highlighted in white.
Details on this model includes the head of the sergeant (he’s the only model not wearing a helmet).
Then there are the Heavy Weapon troopers.
Lots of nice detail on the rear of these models. I used Bleached Bone for the eagle symbols.
Overall making the unit looking better and better.

Having drybrushed my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, the next stage was to detail the models. First thing I did was paint the boots, I used Scorched Brown for these.
These are some of the troopers.
More detailing will be needed.

After giving the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers 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. I then drybrushed the uniforms with Desert Yellow.
The sergeant and the heavy weapons.
Next stage will be the details.

After giving the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers a base coat of Desert Yellow the next stage is a wash. I gave the Stormtroopers 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.
These are the core troopers.
These are the Heavy Weapons troopers and the Sergeant.
Next stage will be a drybrush.

As part of my Daemonhunters’ army I have a retuine for my Daemonhunter Inquisitor including an Acolyte, a trainee Inquisitor.
Having painted the parchment on the figure, I added the writing. I have also highlighted the purple cloak with Warlock Purple paint.
Personally I am not too happy with the text writing so I may start over and try again.
