Inquisition: Servitor #2

My second Servitor! This time with a Heavy Bolter. I wanted a multimelta, but of course the typical techmarine set allows for no such thing these days...

Still... Multimelta or no multimelta, I love these guys.

Inquisition: Servitor

The Servitor models perhaps encapsulate the spirit of the Grim Dark Future better than any regular model within the 40K range, reflecting the heartlessness of the Imperium, and the ease with which humanity can be discarded.

The models are superb, as well - steampunk valves, tubes and wires melded with tortured flesh that Geiger would have been proud of.  Bloody Finecast, though...

Inquisition: Inquisitorial Acolyte

The eagle-eyed among you may recognise this geezer as being from the old Stormtrooper kit - the metal Imperial Guard Kasrkin set. He's such a cool, hard-boiled model that I had to include him in my retinue somehow.

I used red as a spot colour on his carapace armour to tie him in with the rest of my retinue - the Psykers and Inquisitor both have flashes of red on them, as does my Servitor.

I really liked the Kasrkin models, and I was a bit sad to see them replaced by the Tempestus Scions, until I realised how awesome THEY were, too!

Inquisition: Ordo Malleus Inquisitor

Well, you've got to love an Inquisitor, haven't you?  If you don't, they'll no doubt burn you for heresy.  Here's my Ordo Malleus Inquisitor!  He's rather Astartes-esque, but that's allowed - the Inquisition come from all walks of life.  Plus, I only had Space Marine body parts free at the time, so that channels your focus, somewhat, I guess.

There are bits from the Grey Knights Strike Squad used here, as well as the Terminator set (for the book), the Dark Angels Veteran box set (a constant source of wonderful bits), and the head is from the fancy Librarian (you can see what I did with the rest of the body HERE).

An Inquisitor should always be laden-down with all manner of books, scrolls and accoutrements befitting a protector of the faith.

Including swords - plenty of swords!  In this case, Nemesis Force Falchions (which can double up as Force or Power Swords).

Always important, as well, to have some servo-skulls looming wherever possible.

And here he is with his burgeoning retinue - a Mystic and a bunch of Psykers!  Oh, and a Servitor, as well.  He'll probably get his own post at some point in the future...

Inquisition: Psykers

No prizes for guessing which kit contributed the most parts to this project - these are the Psyker brotherhood for my Inquisitorial Retinue.

I had quite a job finding enough Laspistols to go around, mind.  Thank heavens for the Cadian Command Squad sprues!

And who doesn't love a host of Servo-Skulls looming over your shoulder?

I think this guy was actually the most fun one to put together.

"Alas, poor Yarrick!" etc etc...

My burgeoning retinue continues to develop.  There will be more to add to this in time.  I don't know how much tabletop action they will see, but I really enjoy having them for fluff purposes.
