Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

My main force of Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers are based on the Cadian Kasrkin, this was a boxed set I got years ago (when they came out if I remember correctly). They were stuck and based a few years back, as well as undercoated white, and then (as I guess with many miniatures) left in a box.

I recently got them out to start painting them. The first stage was a basecoat of Desert Yellow. These are the heavy weapon troopers and the sergeant.

This is quite a watery thin paint compared to other Citadel paints, but was just like thinning any other Citadel paint with water without actually needing to do that. Here is the rear view, and unlike most Imperial Guard, the Cadian Kasrkin have backpacks which identifies them as stormtroopers.

I have left the boots alone, as these will be painted Scorched Brown. I do like these models which are really well sculptured.

Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor

I have been adding some more symbology and seals to my Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor.

I have been using Forge World’s Inquisitor brass etchings and their resin purity seals.

They are a nice and simple (yet effective) way of adding character to Daemonhunter vehicles.

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

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.

So far I have purchased a single blister.

Having taken the models out of the blister I was disappointed to find that the slottabase tabs on the bottom of the figures were way too narrow for the slots on the slottabases, so it was out with the green stuff to thicken the tabs up.

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

I enhanced the bases with some slate and resin from the Warhammer 40K Basing Kit and some Games Workshop modelling sand.

One day I might get a few more of these.

Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor

As part of my Daemonhunters army I am using a Repressor as a transport for my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers. Overall the model has being coming together really well, though the fit of some of the resin parts did leave a lot to be desired.

After some thought I decided to use some Inquisitor Rhino doors from Forge World to enhance the model.

I am quite pleased with them, they are well sculptured and fit in really well style wise. Unlike some other resin parts from Forge World, these fitted into the door gaps really well.

I wish I had used the front plate instead of the suppplied plastic one, but it would be of little use, as the front plate is hidden by the huge dozer blade, so maybe not such a good idea.

The next stage is to add some more Inquisitorial type paraphernalia to the model. You can see the full workbench feature on my Repressor.

Filling the gaps

I used some Green Stuff to fill the gaps in my Repressor’s ill fitting top.

Need to tidy up the filling a little bit.

Dozerblade for the Repressor

One of the nice extra parts for the Sisters of Battle Repressor is the large dozer blade. It consists of two parts; the blade and the attachment for attaching the blade to the hull.

The blade has some quite large sprue attachments which need to be removed with care.

If you don’t it can result in damage to the resin blade, luckily this is at the bottom of the blade.

The attachment had a fair bit of flash attached which needed to be cleaned.

I am going to paint this part separately, but to give you an idea on how the final Repressor will look here is as though the dozer blade was attached.

The next stage is doors, for which I think I may purchase some Rhino Inquisition doors from Forgeworld.

Repressor Hatch Flamer

…let them burn in the fires of retribution or somesuch rubbish…

The Repressor kit comes with a resin flamer for a hatch ring.

Combined with the plastic hatch ring from the extras sprue, it will go on the top of the Repressor structure.

It went together very easily.

I decided to make the hatch closed, if this was a Sisters of Battle Repressor or a Adeptus Arbites Repressor then I may have added a gunner, as this will be used for different units I decided to make it closed.

The continuing saga of the ill-fitting top

carve and file…

After much thought about the ill-fitting top on my Sisters of Battle Repressor I decided initially to try and file down the Rhino body to allow the resin superstructure fit.

This wasn’t really working, so I decided to trim the back of the superstructure.
