Inquisitional Warband Acolyte Sergeant Calaran Kriegers, WIP 2.

Here's a quick update of Sergeant Kriegers, I've put him together for the most part. Before I can go any further I need to do some gap filling with some green stuff around his knee joint.

I'm still working on converting the hot-shot lasgun. What I think I'm going to do at this point is use the upper arms of the scion's with the lower forearms from the skitarii, to give him a more grizzled hardcore veteran look.

At this point in his life, Sergeant Kriegers has been run through the mill and keeps on going. He's been blown up, burned, shot, plasma burned, and has multiple limbs severed. He is Inquisitor Invictus Novus right-hand man, and one of his most trusted companions and friend, well as much as Inquisitors have friends. The Mechanicus has helped him out by replacing his ruined parts with the best the Imperium has to offer. It was more due to Inquisitor Invictus Novus connections, that Sargent Kriegers has been able to receive some of his more advanced upgrades.

I also gave Sergeant Kriegers a servo-skull sort of as a little pet, I recently finished reading Adeptus Mechanicus: Skitarius, and I love the character Rob Sanders gave to Phrenos 361 in the book. Phrenos 361 is almost like a little dog that goes and scouts out ahead relaying information back to Stroika, the main character of the book. So I thought that why not, Kriegers could use even more character, so I through one on. I haven't come up with a name for the servo-skull yet, though I will soon.

That's it for right now, hopefully I'll get some time soon to sit down and really finish this guy up. Anyway until next time!

Inquisitional Warband Acolyte Sergeant Calaran Kriegers, WIP 1.

The bits I've collected so for.

Here's something else I've got on my workbench, the first acolyte for my Inquisitorial warband! I'm kit bashing together a number of thing, the main body is a tempestus scion, the head and arms are from the new skitarii kit. I'm going to convert up a new looking style of hot-shot lasgun using a skitarii vanguard rife bit and a lasgun. I'm not sure on what head to go with yet either one of the ranger heads, or one of the bare heads.

The head options.

I'll be cutting the Skiarii leg off at the knee and adding it to the scion legs.

I'll use one of these arms for the base of the Hot-shot lasgun.

A brief backstory on this acolyte, his name is Sergeant Calaran Kriegers, he was a highly trained scion that was recruited by my inquisitor, Invictus Novus. Invictus inquisitorially requisitioned him and his squad on the hive world of Malthus in the Calixis Sector around 941.M41. The hive world was in chaos the local PDF couldn't keep control. Heretical psykers had pushed the world to the point of instability and daemons were starting the tear themselves through, Sergeant Kriegers and his scion squad, the Dragon Slayers were pinned down in the middle of hab block, bloodletters streaming in all around them, they were about to be over run when Invictus showed up with his inferno pistol blazing and power sword sparking blue electric lightning. He slayed through the daemons rallying Kriegers and his dragons to fight with renewed furiosity and fervor. Once the block had been cleared of all taint, Sergeant Kriegers knew that this agent of the Inquisition would be needing more help, and due to the vox network being down he didn't have anyway of receiving new orders, he might as well put his training to use. After the mission was successfully completed, well successful in the eyes of the inquisition, Invictus asked if Sergeant Kriegers and the few remaining Dragon Slayers want the come and work for him, and the Dragons accepted.

Cultists WIP part 1

Finally finished putting together my first set of 10 Chaos Cultists and are now ready to be primed! These will be the first of a lot of things, one this will be the first time in a very long time that I sit down to paint to paint a unit of troops since I was like 16. Second these will be the test models for a lot of different painting and weathering techniques, also painting skin, metal, leather, and cloth. Also I'm hoping that this will get me over my resistance to painting, for some reason I keep feeling like I can't do it or if I do, do it that I'll mess it up in some way. And not anymore I'm tired of looking at all the gray plastic and I really want to feel good about putting something down on the table that looks awesome! I also have to say the details on these models are just amazing too, GW as really been killing it on th plastic kits lately.

Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for this Throne!

I plan on painting them to match my Khorneate warband, that I plan on starting sometime in the future. I'm also painting them up so that they may be used i then Assassinorum Execution Force board game too. I think I have about another 30 cultists floating around somewhere in my studio, I plan on painting them all with a unifying color and do something unique with each unit so it's clear they are from separate units. Oh and the main color I'll be using to unify all the cultists together will be... You guessed it Khorne red! And brass. I thought about doing them in some sort of pre-Heresy World Eaters color scheme and then decided against it, which I'll talk about why later when explaining my warbands backstory. Now time to slap some paint on these bad boys!
