Inq28 Inquisitor Darthur and cultish warband

I finished although a bit rough around the edges the warband for the upcoming inq28 event the ruinations at Blacksands Monastery.

Radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Darthur (a former interrogator of Inquistrix Madine’s and acolyte of Inquisitor Vendrake)

Darthur is a conflicted obscura addicted, paranoid delusional, who has been suffering from memory loss and hallucinations since the death of Madine and the sudden departure of Vendrake. 

He has been searching on and off for Madine's killer for years and has lost hope of ever finding the truth.  His delusional mind is so fractured that if the truth was presented to him he would hardly recognise it as such. 

His quest for answers and meaning  has led him to believe an ancient ordo chronos device is located within the Sword Point Stars, and this holds the answers to the questions he seeks.  He worries that the ork invasion will destroy the device, and he intends to support any faction that can put an end to that.

He arrived on Blacksands  with an ardent faction of violent fanatical pilgrims opposed to the living saint.

Brother Vanitus: A disgraced noble scion who abandoned his lineage after a sudden, bleak spiritual awakening, whilst on pilgrimage, he now walks directly into incoming fire without flinching, viewing his massive Eviscerator as a holy tool to cut away the illusion of mortal life.

Brother Gideon: A former cathedral vault-guard hollowed out by decades of listening to the desperate confessions of the dying, he relies on a crude audio-chip implanted directly into his skull that plays distorted recordings of temple choristers on repeat to drown out the phantom voices, trapping him in a fiercely judgmental, binary existence where humanity is strictly divided into the pure and the dirt that must be swept away.

Brother Gemmellus: A text-broker who ritually excised his own tongue to join the cult, he now views the spoken word as a vector for sin, choosing instead to deliver his devotion through dual autopistols loaded with ammunition amassed during a lifelong bullet-pilgrimage, where every single round was blessed in a different church and every discharge is executed as a precise, divine prayer.

Brother Crepitus: A former crematorium furnace-operator who claimed to hear the literal voice of the Emperor in the dry crackle of burning bone, he is now an obsessive fire-worshipper who uses his autogun-flamer to box enemies into burning corners just to listen to them crackle. 

 

Ignis the Purger: A former Deacon of Praxus (Ignacius aleron) who fled into exile after a failed coup left him hideously mangled, he is a demagogue whose political words completely failed him, fleeing to Blacksands with a ragtag following in hopes of resurrecting his lost power through a new dogma—that violence, not scripture, is the purest form of devotion.  

Has been convinced by Darthur that the best way to power lays in the destruction of the white ork

Preparing for the is event has been interesting, I switched from the noble house of Cydonia to the these guys mid way as I knew these would be quicker  and easier to paint, and I thought it would be a shame not to have an inquisitor at the event.  I enjoyed kit bashing more than painting as usual, and I only managed to get 6 members painted up intime for the game, Peter aka PDH very kindly wrote up my stats sheets as I am not good with rules :D

In general in am pretty pleased with them I like my models to blend in the scenery more than stand out usually and in this case I think I achieved that. Using matte washes for the metals really gives it that old metal look. 

INQ28 Macro torpedo Zone Mortalis board (orbital space station munitions umbilical )

 

Aye up Folk,  getting close to the date of the upcoming Inq28 event , and I had a last minute idea for a gameboard after learning one of my Games will be against Nuclearhawks rogue trader charron on an umbilical linked to his ship

I was struggling to come up with an idea for decent terrain until I realised the umbilical could be huge if it was connected to dauntless class cruiser. I wondered if it was possible to  show the scale of those ships by setting the environment next to one of those huge 200ft macro torpedoes.

so I set about doing some sketches whilst on holiday, and then knocked up a  board in a few days when I got back using some old zone mortalis sets I purchased years ago. 

I quite enjoyed trying to figure some of the scale of of those ships and its guns .. .
