Family photo of the Inquisitorial Retinue

Finally the full retinue is ready to take to the battlefield. It has been years since I played anything remotely GW, but we have a game coming up next week - and I can't wait to get this lot on the tabletop.

Inquisitorial group shot

So far my Inquisitorial warband looks like this - that's not too bad I think.

Seraphim finished

Another finished mini - already? Yes I reply, quite happy.
I'm also really happy with the way she turned out - really like the minimalistic look and yet she also looks quite disturbing in a twisted Tinkerbell like way. Enjoy.

Way cuter!

Also working on Seraphim while waiting for sick pale skin to dry :D

Painting Big Nasty

Been working on the metals last night and decided to try out a new idea on my stadard bronze. After the first shading with agrax brown, I stippled the head with orange and yellow before adding a bronze drybrushing which was followed be a new agrax wash. I think it looks quite interesting. Also gave Seraphim the first few licks of paint.

Behold an Angel

Finished off Seraphim tonight. Really like the minimalistic look - I also think she ended up looking rather sinister and  wrathful. I had a few comments on the wings being too small. That's quite on purpose, actually I'd have made them smaller if I had had the bits to do so. They were never meant to be wings per se, but rather some appendages slightly off never really knowing if would be of any use, mechanical or feathered. The pistol is from Victoria Miniatures.

Seraphim

As already said, I think that female makes the grim even darker and I really enjoy female miniatures in the Inq28 setting, but we have a problem. Part are notoriously hard to come by. Everything seems to be too big. So after going through my bits box several times and dryfitting tens of heads I came to the conclusion that only the newly acquired dark eldar heads came close, sizewise at least. Not surprisingly though, they all looked a little to eldar. So out came the knive and greystuff, and I came up with this, which I think looks suitably sinister. I tested out an idea of making some sort of lenses using white glue - not a succes, as it just dried out flat - luckily it was easily removable. I also started assembling the body.

Something a little simpler

Had this idea for a couple of days, something not quite as decorated and covered in bits as the last couple of minis. Some of the grimdark art pieces I enjoy the most are the female agents drawn by John Blanche. For some reason I think the female side adds even more twist and grim to the dark, so I'm really pleased that it now seems we get even more female minis from GW - Sisters of Silence. The small pics I've seen look brilliant and could be the base of many conversions.
This is based on a darkelf mini. I had to give her a bit of clothing and a very nice google search supplied endless inspiration for folds in tight tops.
